Understanding the Subject Dashboard
The subject dashboard summarizes analytics for one subject: identity and profiles, flagged behavior, optional insights (score, word cloud, sentiment, OCEAN), and web/news results.

Step 2: Layout map
Use this abstract map to orient yourself. The rest of this guide explains each numbered region in prose—without additional screenshots.
# | Region | What it’s for |
|---|---|---|
--- | --- | --- |
1 | Subject information | Who the subject is, linked profiles, location context, entry to summary / flagged summary |
2 | Behavior summary | Flagged posts by behavior; open flagged posts carousel |
3 | Web / news | Web and news results tied to the subject |
4 | Word cloud | Frequent topics and sentiment coloring |
5 | Sentiment over time | How average sentiment moves across intervals |
6 | OCEAN personality | Trait view from original posts/comments (when enabled) |

Step 3: Open the dashboard and select a subject
Click Dashboard in the left navigation (or the graph icon on a narrow screen).
By default, the dashboard shows the most recent subject.
Use the subject dropdown (typically top left) to choose another subject.
If you have not added any subjects yet, the page is empty.

Step 6: Word cloud and sentiment over time (regions 4–5)

Deep dive: Word Cloud.
Sentiment over time — average sentiment across intervals; line direction shows shifts.
Deep dive: Sentiment Over Time.
---
Step 7: OCEAN and web/news (regions 6 and 3)
OCEAN personality — predicted traits from original posts and comments (when enabled for the use case).

Web / news — articles associated with the subject; open a result to view the source.
Related: Web/News and Adverse Media Search.

Step 8: When you’re done
Use the subject dashboard for a quick picture before you review individual posts or download reports. Prefer this guide’s single layout map over memorizing screenshots—labels and card names stay more stable than pixel layouts.
