# Community-Level Analytics and Social Insights Filtering ## Overview The Dashboard now includes filtering capabilities that allow users to customize their analytics and social insights views. These filters enable users to focus on specific communities and topics, providing more targeted and relevant data analysis. ### Key Features **Topic Filtering** * Filter data by specific topics of interest * Support for multiple topic selection **Community Filtering** * Select one or multiple communities to filter your data * Search functionality to quickly find specific communities *** ## Why Community-Level Filtering? Community-level filtering helps you focus on what matters most by eliminating noise from irrelevant data. Instead of analyzing all communities together, you can: **Get Targeted Insights** * Each community has unique engagement patterns and sentiment trends * Filter by specific communities to understand audience-specific behavior * Make data-driven decisions tailored to different segments *** ## Getting Started Before using the new filtering features, ensure you have: * Access to the social.plus dashboard * Enable Social Insights feature, please contact our [support team](). * Data available for your selected time period (current default: 30 days) ### Quick Tour **Navigate to Social Insights** * Log into your social.plus dashboard * Click on **Analyze** in the left sidebar under **Social Insight** * You'll see the main analytics view with filtering options at the top
