How to Connect Your Data Sources to the Social Media Dashboard Template


Our Social Media Dashboard template can save you a lot of time in making a visually dynamic collection of your social media data. This article will help you learn how to use it.


Sample Dashboard



Before you begin, please note that for these data sources, the data will start populating the day you connect and there will be no historical data available prior to the day you connect.  That is because the APIs do not support pulling historical data for these metrics.  We will save the data going forward so the graphs populate over time.

Instructions

Make a copy of the template.



Add your data sources.



The comparison chart requires blending the data sources to compare metrics from all sources.  Select Blend Data then add all of your sources.



Choose a join key from metrics they all share. For this example, I used Month. Then choose the metrics for each source that you'd like to compare.
