Directly access your preferred Playboard features to fine-tune the search experience. Also, you can spot opportunities to improve search performance, identify key findings on search KPIs, and gain insight into the most popular or no-results searches, for example.

• Widgets

note

My Highlights dashboard is a customizable modal layout made up of widgets that display data and give access to several search configuration features. The widgets and their position vary depending on the permissions of your user role. Check Notes on My Highlights permissions for more details.

View filter

For a personalized experience, you can check the more relevant information for your needs, instead of the overall search data, with the View filter.

Click the arrow in the View filter area to display all filtering options available. The default “All filters & all categories” option displays overall search data when there are no other filters selected. You can narrow down the data shown with a combination of filters or categories and subcategories. There is a maximum of five of each type you can save as configured views.

Widgets

My Highlights dashboard offers different widgets you can use to visualize relevant search data insights and analytics, access your preferred search configuration features, identify opportunities for improvement, and consequently, take action to optimize the search experience.

• Welcome widget: Spot what you can do with My Highlights and access to related Empathy Platform Playboard documentation via the link to the Empathy Platform Docs portal (EPDocs).
