How to get a report for hidden Suggestions that includes Status

Question

Hello!

I'm a Data Doctor and I work exclusively on names. I want to analyze some of the Suggestions I've worked on to see if some of the Suggestion 'triggers' can be eliminated because they end up being overwhelmingly - or even 100% - false. This would reduce the large backlog of these Suggestions (several thousand each) that need to be corrected on both open and private profiles.

Here are the specific Suggestions and the number that have been resolved:

Number of Hidden Suggestions

Suggestion	Hidden
723: Prefix in First Name	10,595
724: Wrong word in First Name	626
753: Prefix in Nicknames	4,550
754: Wrong word in Nicknames	1,234
784: Wrong word in Current Last Name	49

I need to know the specific trigger for the Suggestion and the final status - I can do the drill-down to analyze specifics. Please let me know how to generate these reports.

Thanks!

Laura

Hi Laura. Great idea! Anything that reduces false suggestions will save everyone time.

For a report going some way along these lines by Aleš in June 2023, see the thread

and the report at

Thanks, Jim!

I looked at the report, and it doesn't have the detail I need.  I guess what I really want is the Suggestion report for a given Suggestion with the Status in its own column, not in a 'sub-row' (if such a term exists).

I want to be able to tease apart the 'triggers' are almost totally False, e.g., Pope as a middle name vs. others that are a mixed bag, e.g., Major was often a given name.

Hope this helps clarify.

Understood, Laura. Aleš should see your "data_doctors" tag, but it may help to add "ales" as well.
