Updated 

Create an Inline Editable Table widget in Listening for quick actionability.

Sprinklr provides you with the Inline Editable Table widget in Social Listening that allows you to make upfront, inline edits to widgets and filter, sort, search, and take bulk actions on the go, imparting quick actionability. A revamped tabular view helps you visualize your messages, enabling you to take quick inline actions like changing the sentiment, adding tags, etc. You can also filter and sort the conversations from the widget without going into edit mode.

To create an Inline Editable Table widget

To plot the Inline Editable Table widget, you can use any existing editable dashboard or create a new one. Refer to this article to learn how to set up a Custom Dashboard.

Once you have the dashboard where you want to add the visualization widget, follow the steps below –

  1. On the custom dashboard, click Add Widget in the top right corner.

  2. On the widget builder, enter the widget's name.

  3. Select Inline Editable Table as a visualization type for your widget.

Features and scope of the Inline Editable Table widget

On columns having specific metrics such as Reach, you can sort the order of the results either in ascending or descending with a single click, as shown below. You can select the dimension you want the sorting to be applied to. This helps you to surface the highest-performing messages according to desired KPIs.

With the sort feature, you can easily view the highest or lowest-performing messages according to the dimension you have selected. By hovering the cursor on the Descending icon in the top right corner of the column and selecting either Sort Ascending or Sort Descending, you can select your sorting preference without entering the edit mode. This is demonstrated by the GIF below –

Note: All the metrics added to the Inline Editable Table widget will be available in the sorting options upfront. So you will have more sorting options to sort the order of your Inline Editable Table widget.

You can easily assign sentiment to a message in the Inline Editable Table widget without entering edit mode. To perform this, click the Sentiment alongside the message you want to be changed, and select your sentiment from the dropdown. This is demonstrated by the GIF below –

The Inline Editable Table widget provides you with the ability to search for specific messages within the widget using Keywords, Tags, or the Sender name. You can pull up messages containing specific keywords to take action if required. You can also Exclude the keywords from messages to further narrow down your results by omitting irrelevant data. This is demonstrated by the GIF below –

You can perform bulk actions on messages, such as applying macros to multiple messages at once, archiving the message/s, etc. without entering edit mode and working with each message separately. This is demonstrated by the GIF below –

When bulk selecting messages in an Inline Editable Table widget, whenever you update sentiment, message tag, and or any custom field (single picklist & multi picklist) in one of the rows within the table, the changes will be applied to all the selected messages. This is demonstrated by the GIF below –

Just like Conversation Streams, you can choose to highlight additional entities within the Inline Editable Table widget. Get more use out of Topics, Themes, and Keyword Lists by seeing where their keywords show up in your Listening messages or identify the phrases and locations users are mentioning.

Note: We also support consistent keyword highlighting within the third pane of the Inline Editable Table widget. When you select the Highlight option for Topic, Theme, or Keyword List within the Inline Editable Table, it highlights the keywords associated with the selected Listening entity (Topic, Theme, or Keyword List). And when you open the message in the third-pane, the same behavior will now be seen there too, i.e. the keyword(s) will be highlighted in the third-pane also.

In the Inline Editable Table widget, you can see snippets around the first topic/keyword query. The snippet gives you the context of the message without reading the full content. It renders the text around the first keyword match that is detected. This is demonstrated by the GIF below –

You can bulk-select all messages in an Inline Editable Table widget. As a result, you can now bulk select all messages in the widget with the Select All option to perform a bulk action, such as applying a Macro or archiving the messages. This is demonstrated by the GIF below –

The Inline Editable Table widget can show Engagement Metric. In this mode, the messages will be mapped with the predefined engagement stats and shown in a single column (or cell) instead of each taking up a separate column.
