Unless you want a blank tab, click on the “Add a Stream” guide that automatically appeared in your new tab and follow the prompts. Click and drag your tabs along the top of the dashboard to put them in an order that works best for you.

• Keep the naming convention short, so that you can fit more tabs visible along the top.

• Note: Streams help further breakdown each tab according to social networks, apps, functionality, keyword searches, etc.

Slide: 15

How to add Streams to your Tab• Every stream inside your tab is self-contained. So

you can monitor the Tweets, Facebook photos, and YouTube searches related to your Tab title.

• To add a social network: in the stream guide click “Networks”, scroll to find the network and its associated options menu will appear. From there, select the network’s functionality of your choice for that stream.

• For example, let’s say you’re setting up a Twitter tab for your business. We recommend that you add different streams within that tab for your business’ Home Feed, Mentions, Direct Messages and ReTweets.

Use the Stream that suits you• There are different Stream types depending on which Social Media channel is

selected. Start by choosing the associated channel account, then select the options you require.
