What is included in Signals Report Settings?

This article contains the following sections:

Edit Report

Parameters

Each Signals report pulls in data from Sprout Social Influencer Marketing Creators that meet a set of parameters set out at the beginning of the report. To change these parameters, select an existing report, then click Edit Report.

The platform brings you to the following screen:

Boolean logic

Boolean logic uses qualifiers like AND or OR to construct queries.

  • If you were to add 'Zhu' to Profile and 'Nike' to Mention, you would be querying all mentions of Nike within Zhu's published content.

Additionally, adding multiple inputs into the same box (i.e., Profile or Mentions) will use 'OR' logic.

  • Adding 'Zhu' and 'Nike' into the Mentions box would query all posts (within the specified time frame) that have mentioned any of Zhu's social handles OR any of Nike's social handles.

Keywords

The first parameter is Keywords. Here you can add keywords, hashtags, or phrases to refine the data included in the reports. Add or refine any boolean logic in this section to create a layered query.

Select  + to add OR logic across several Keywords/Hashtags/Phrases, or add a row to create AND logic.

To exclude specific Keywords/Hashtags/Phrases, create a new row, select + Add Row for "And" Logic, then the dropdown menu next to AND, then select AND NOT.

Start date and End date

The report start and end dates can be adjusted in the settings at any time. If the date range isn't set during the original query, the start date will be 90 days before the report is created and the end date is the day the report was last visited.

To create an evergreen dashboard using Signals, select a start date and leave the end date blank. Setting the date like this will apply 'Since [start date]' logic and include the most current posts relevant to your query parameters every time you visit the report.

Profiles

Add a Creator's Influencer Marketing Profile to the report parameters to pull data from the content that Profile has posted that meets the parameters.

Add any existing label to the Profiles parameter to pull content from Creators assigned to that Label and who meet the requirements set for the report.

Mentions

Add a Profile to the mentions field to query any content that mentions the Profile's social handles (much like the Mentions tab on Profiles).

Add a Label in this field to pull content that mentions the Profiles contained within the Label.

Location

Add a Location to the report parameters to only view content and data from Creators who live in that location and have posted content that meets your query.
