Dashboard - Analytics

The Analytics page is the entry point to your community insights. Monitor data on your messages, posts and authors, all in one page.

The Analytics page is the main page of the Dashboard, allowing users to access real-time data on their community and the actions taken to actively protect it. In order to show you everything, we will take a look at the parameters allowing you to display information, and then dive into the four sections on the page:

  1. Introducing the Analytics page
  2. Analytics overview
  3. Moderation
  4. Community
  5. Engagement

For each chart detailed in this article, the option button allows you to export the data in different formats: CSV and PDF documents or PNG and JPG images.

Before getting deeper into data, there are two parameters to choose what information you need to display:

Time range

Analytics page - time range
You can choose to display data from predefined ranges: 'Today', 'Yesterday', 'Last 7 days', 'Last 30 days' or 'Last 365 days'. 

You can also pick a specific date or range to custom your time selection.

Source selection

Analytics page - sources

By default, data from all sources are displayed.

By clicking on 'source' you will get the list of all sources connected, displayed by source type (social media platform).

You can select source types or sources you want to monitor, combine them, and 'clear filters' to go back to default setting. 

     

     

    If a TikTok source is active, you will see this pop up message: 

    It means that data from all sources are displayed, except for TikTok. We chose not to include them in the overall analysis because only a few charts can show data from this particular source, which would lead to inconsistent and confusing results. For more info, read the Analytics on TikTok article.

    2. Analytics overview


    The overview section provides a high level analysis of the comments you have received in the time range selected.

    Analytics overview

    The info it provides:

    • All messages: total amount of comments received during the time range selected, with a graph of the evolution over time and a mention of the evolution versus the last period.
    • Removed: total amount of messages removed, with the ratio of removed messages, and the evolution vs the last period.
    • Kept: total amount of messages kept, with the ratio of kept messages, and the evolution vs the last period.
    • Message distribution: total amount of messages received sorted by category - Positive, Criticism, Neutral, Hate Speech, Hateful, Undesirable.
    • Industry average: when this box is checked, you get the average ratio of your industry for each content category, to compare with other companies from your line of business.

    The 'vs last period' refers to the same previous time range, meaning the day before if you selected 'today', the 7 days before if you selected the week range.
