When you open the Widget Wizard, the widgets are displayed with several details to help you choose.

Widget types

Emplifi widgets are, effectively containers for metrics and specific parameters that reach out to your data, do the math and visualize the result in a form of a chart.

You can categorize widget by several ways:

• by social network/platform
  Some widgets are platform-specific, some work across multiple platforms. This is determined by what data and how individual platforms make data accessible to third party tools.

• by how they work (how they are applied)

  • post level

  • profile level

• Emplifi module that they work with

  • Care

  • Community

  • Listening

• Paid content

  • The so-called ‘ads’ widget can process data generated by paid content on individual platforms.

These categories overlap and a single widget can be cross-platform and ads, or post level and cross-platform.
