Before creating a Topic, get familiar with all the terms and descriptions related to Topics.

Topics are the fundamental units to listen to within Sprinklr. They are composed of queries, constructed with keywords or Keyword Lists, boolean operators, filters, and sources.

You can add the created topics to a Listening dashboard, Listening widgets, or a Listening column in the Engagement dashboard to cater to your listening requirements. For optimum use, first structure and plan your listening requirement, and then with the help of Topics, Topic Groups, Themes, and Custom Metrics, configure the dashboards to get rich insights.
