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.

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 –

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. You can now select the themes directly from the Theme Tag card. 

  4. The Summary pane has been added where you can see the total number of selected themes.

  6. 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.

Listening | Ability to Use Advanced Operators Independently in Quick Search

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.

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.

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.

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.

Besides, we have also updated the descriptions of the below Listening metrics –

  1. Alexa Rank: Alexa Rank is a relative measure of global popularity based on unique visitor and pageviews metrics from the past 3 months.

  2. Alexa Reach: Alexa Reach implies 'out of a million global internet users, how many visited this site (during the specified time range)'?.

  3. 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 – 

  1. 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.
    Listening – Added Search Highlight Functionality in Dashboard Drop Down Menu

  2. 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.

  3. 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.
