Understanding Your First Alerts
Last updated August 12, 2024
Congratulations on receiving your first alerts! These real-time insights are the heart of the Dataminr platform. This guide will help you interpret and analyze your initial alerts, allowing you to gain valuable knowledge and make informed decisions.
Deciphering Your First Alerts:
- Key Information: Every alert provides key information, including the event type, location, date and time, source, and associated content. Analyze these details to understand the context of the alert.
- Sentiment: Determine the overall sentiment of the alert – is it positive, negative, or neutral? This can help you gauge the potential impact of the event.
- Relevance: Assess how relevant the alert is to your interests and goals. Does it pertain to your industry, region, or specific areas of focus?
- Urgency: Understand the potential urgency of the event. Does it require immediate attention, or can it be addressed later?
- Source: Evaluate the credibility and reliability of the alert's source. This helps you determine the validity of the information.
- Visualizations: Take advantage of Dataminr's visualizations. Charts, maps, and graphs can provide a clearer understanding of the alert's impact and context.
- Actions: Consider what actions you can take based on the information provided in the alert. This might involve monitoring developments, preparing for potential risks, or capitalizing on new opportunities.
As you receive more alerts, you'll develop a greater understanding of the information and its relevance to your work. Don't hesitate to consult the Dataminr Help Center for further guidance and examples.
