We have now introduced Topic Library in Sprinklr Insights which is an amalgamation of pre-curated topics of multiple industries catering to their brands, competitors, industry trends, and crisis management. You can easily select the readily available topics from the topic library pertaining to a particular industry, tag them and group them as per your goal and also assign purpose to your topic.

Listening | Keyword Suggestion Enhancements in Topic & Theme Query Builder and Keyword List
We have now introduced major AI-driven enhancements in the keyword suggestions for our enhancements in Topic & Theme Query Builder and Keyword List. With this enhancement, the keyword/phrase suggestion will now encompass the multiple variations of the keywords and phrases which are the alteration of verbs, adjectives, and tenses pertaining to the entered keyword or phrase.
For instance, entering the keyword 'eat' will show ate, eaten, eats, etc. as variations, focusing on the specific context of the input keywords rather than a generic context. Similarly, for the phrase 'We are one', the suggestions will include all tense variations such as We were one, we been one, we be one, and so on. This ensures more relevant and yet diversified keyword suggestions to help you achieve enhanced precision in the mentions pulled by your query.
Topic Query Builder | Keyword List |
This enhancement in the variation of keyword suggestions is available for OR and NONE sections of both basic and advanced query builders. Single clicking the keyword in the basic query builder will display the related keywords and all keyword suggestions, whereas in advance query builder double-clicking the keyword or phrase will display the keyword variations. You can then easily select the suggested keyword by clicking on them, and they will be included in your existing query with the OR operator.

The key enhancements for the header are listed below:

Besides, you can now search the themes by query in the search bar. And if the searched terms will match the query keywords, this will highlight the cell(s) in the Query field.
Listening | Introduced Theme Library UI Upgrade with Few Intuitive Changes
We have made some UI/UX upgrades to the Theme Library to make the experience more intuitive and better. The Theme Library contains 5000+ readily available themes based on various categories & different industries.
Besides the UI upgrade in the Theme Library, we have made the following changes –
We have introduced an option to view the details of the theme tags separately. Clicking on View details will invoke a third pane containing all the queries inside that theme from where users can copy or provide feedback for the query.
Now you can easily switch between categories. Simply scroll down the second pane to switch between categories. However, if you want to switch from one category to another, click the desired category in the first pane.
You can now select the themes directly from the Theme Tag card.
The Summary pane has been added where you can see the total number of selected themes.
We have merged the Renaming Matching Themes feature with the review screen of Theme Library.
On the Search screen, you can filter the search results as per the themes tags or themes. There are 2 tabs, i.e. Theme Tags and Themes. You can switch between these 2 tabs.

In Quick Search (previously known as Listening Explorer), you can now use these 4 advanced operators without requiring a Keyword Query in conjunction –
author (to search author of the message)
title (to search title of the message)
url (to search for mentions from the entered url)
site (to search for mentions from the entered site)
Listening | Added New Column 'Description' in Topic List View and Theme List View
We have added a new field 'Description' as a column in the Topic List View and Theme List View. The search functionality will remain the same. For example, if the searched keyword matches the description, the specific cell within the Description column will be highlighted. Besides, this newly added Description column will be available in Topic/Themes Import and Export templates.

Listening | Introduced 'Dual Axis Multiple Metrics' Widget in Listening and Listening Explorer Dashboards
We have added the Dual Axis Multiple Metrics widget in the Listening and Quick Search (previously known as Listening Explorer) dashboards. This newly added widget will allow users to add multiple metrics (max 4) in a Dual Axis chart. As a result, you can now avoid creating multiple Dual Axis widgets for similar views/representations. Instead, you can simply use the Dual Axis Multiple Metrics widget that supports up to 4 metrics under Y-Axis.
Listening | Support for Pivot Table Widget Visualization
We have now enabled support to add a Pivot Table widget within the Listening and Benchmarking dashboards. This will allow you to create advanced pivot reports in a Reporting Dashboard by introducing a pivot widget so that you do not have to export and analyze reports using excel. You can plot multiple dimensions and metrics at different levels. You can further customize your report using various filters at the dashboard level as well as widget level.
| To learn more about getting this capability enabled in your environment, please work with your Success Manager. |
Listening | Ability to View Volume of Backfill Mention at Workspace Level
In the Listening Consumption dashboard, we have added a new column for Backfill Mention Count in the Consumption by Workspace widget. As a result, you will now be able to view the volume of live mention and backfill mention at the workspace level.
Note If a message matching two active topics belonging to the same workspace is grabbed, then the message will count as a single message in the Consumption By Workspace widget. |
Listening | Bucketization of Listening Metrics & Dimensions for Simplified Selection
In order to make it easy for users to select a metric or dimension, we have organized all the Listening metrics and dimensions into their specific category, i.e. Metric Type or Dimension Type. When you will search for any specific metric or dimension, it will now be shown along with its type (a category the metric or dimension lies in) in the search results.
Listening | Ability to Discover, Navigate, and Edit Topics/Themes/Keyword Lists Directly via Dashboards (Locked/Unlocked)
By using the hover-over capability, you can now view details of Topics, Themes, and Keyword Lists directly from the dashboard filters without entering the Edit mode. Even if the Filter is locked, hovering over it will show you the dropdown with selected filters. The main purpose of introducing this capability is to prevent you from entering the Edit mode again and again just to view the queries empowering Topics, Themes, and Keyword Lists. Besides, in the View mode, you can also edit the queries on the go and make the data more in line with the required analysis/reporting.
Listening | Introducing Permalink Support for Print Articles Pulled in Listening Mentions
We have now introduced permalink support for the Print articles in Sprinklr Insights. With this enhancement, users can now click the permalink (date in conversation stream) and navigate to the hosted URL of the print article.
Listening | Introducing New Moz Metric 'Domain Authority'
In Listening metrics, we have added a new Moz metric called 'Domain Authority'. It is a search engine ranking score developed by Moz that predicts how likely a website is to rank on search engine result pages (SERPs). A Domain Authority score ranges from 1 to 100, with higher scores corresponding to a greater likelihood of ranking.
The metric Domain Authority (DA) is calculated by evaluating multiple factors, including linking root domains and the number of total links, into a single DA score. This score can then be used when comparing websites or tracking the 'ranking strength' of a website over time. Domain Authority is not a metric used by Google in determining search rankings and does not affect the SERPs.
Note Sprinklr recommends using Domain Authority in place of Moz Rank as Domain Authority is more accurate and updated frequently. Moz Rank is currently under maintenance by Moz. |
Listening | Ability to Edit Widget Names Directly from Dashboards
You can now edit the widget names directly from the dashboards without going to the Edit Widget screen. To edit the widget name, double-click the widget name, type the desired name for your widget, and then hit Enter.
Listening | Alexa Reach and Alexa Page Views Calculation Logic Updates
As per the new calculation logic updates that we have made in the Alexa Reach and Alexa Page View Listening metrics, you will now get the exact values sent by the Alexa team as is, without any modifications. For more information, see – Reach Metrics for Listening.
Besides, we have also updated the descriptions of the below Listening metrics –
Alexa Rank: Alexa Rank is a relative measure of global popularity based on unique visitor and pageviews metrics from the past 3 months.
Alexa Reach: Alexa Reach implies 'out of a million global internet users, how many visited this site (during the specified time range)'?.
Alexa Page Views: Alexa Page Views implies 'out of a million page views made by the Alexa traffic sample (during the specified time range), how many were on this site?'. Note that the page views are not unique.
Listening | Added 'Search Highlight' along with New Dashboard Switcher Functionalities
Within the Drop-down menu of any reporting dashboard, we have added the following functionalities to enhance the user experience –
Now, whatever keyword you will search in the search bar of the drop-down menu, will be highlighted in the search results. For example, if you search data in the search bar, all the dashboards containing the keyword data in their names and/or as tags will be shown in the search results and the entered keyword will be highlighted in all the results.
Now, the dashboard switcher will remember the group that you expand within the dashboard dropdown menu. So, when you open the drop-down menu next time, the list will show the group expanded in the same state as you left earlier.
The dashboard will also remember the previously opened sub-pane, and when you open the drop-down menu next time, you will see the sub-pane you opened previously instead of the menu items. To go back to menu items, you need to click the back icon.
Listening | Gender Categorization Enhancement
We have made some gender categorization enhancements to the Sprinklr platform. As a result, now gender will be identified for more posts, on both Quick Search and downloaded queries. Besides, the accuracy rate of the identified genders has been improved.

This capability allows you to validate NLP model predictions at the message level that is taken as feedback for Location Insights model improvements. You can access the third pane from the Reviews tab of the Location Insights dashboard as well as from Conversation Stream.
