This article explains how this works and how you can adjust the colours yourself:
- How does a label get a colour?
- How can you choose for yourself how you distribute the colors across these levels?
- Where do I see the coloured labels in the Media Monitor?
In the Media Monitor, you can give each label its own colour. Colour-coding labels has several advantages, for example:
• Faster overview: You can see at a glance which label belongs to a message, without having to read the text.
• Quick scanning with large volumes of messages: When there are many messages in the Media Monitor, colour helps you quickly filter what's important.
• Distinguishing between topics: If you use multiple labels (for example, for different themes or campaigns), colour immediately makes clear which theme is involved.
• Fewer mistakes: If labels have similar names, a clear colour prevents you from accidentally mixing them up.
• More pleasant to work with: A coloured label stands out more than plain text. This makes working in the Media Monitor clearer, and labels are easy to spot even when scrolling through long lists.
• Reporting and presentation: When sharing data (for example, in a dashboard or report), colour communicates faster than text alone.
How does a label get a colour?
When you create a new label, it automatically gets a default colour. Click on the colour box to change the colour.
In the Media Monitor, you create labels on 3 levels: main label, sub-label, and sub-sub-label.
How can you choose for yourself how you distribute the colors across these levels?
• From the main label, you determine the colour for all labels underneath it.
• From the sub-label, you determine the colour for the sub-sub-label underneath it.
• You give only the last, underlying label its own colour.
Where do I see the coloured labels in the Media Monitor?
You can find the labels and their colours in several places in the Media Monitor:
• In a report, in the Labels chart. This is a pie chart showing how many messages fall under each label.
• On a message itself.
• In the "label" filter in reports, charts, and the dashboard.
• In a recurring task where you're working on labeling messages.
