The moderation tool in the PowerReviews Portal allows you to customize the way you review your content via Searches, Channels, and Worklists.
A Native Review is defined as a review you collect through your website, either via a Follow-Up Email solicitation or via a Fly-By Review.
If you're interested in only seeing content that meets certain criteria, you can search your natively collected review content accordingly. For example, you may only want to see reviews with a 3-star rating for a specific product during a certain time range.
To begin:
1. Log in to the PowerReviews Portal
2. Navigate to the star icon in the left-hand menu
3. Click Native Reviews
4. Enter your criteria in the relevant search fields (below)
5. Click Search
1. Required Fields - specify a date range and a sort order for your results
2. Product Options - narrow your search to focus on a specific product or type of product:
3. Review Options - narrow your search further to focus on specific attributes:
1. Images & Videos
2. Questions
3. Answers
4. More Options
A Network Review is defined as a review you receive through Syndication (ie, from the Open Network). You can search these reviews similarly to Native Reviews.
To begin:
1. Log into the PowerReviews Portal
2. Navigate to the star icon in the left-hand menu
3. Click Network Reviews
4. Enter your criteria in the relevant search fields (below)
5. Click Search
1. Required Fields - specify a date range and a sort order for your results
2. Product Options - enter the page ID of the product (this is also a required field when searching Network Reviews)
3. Review Options - narrow your search further to focus on specific attributes:
Channels allow you to easily access your content via buckets, where certain content meets certain specific criteria. Content that meets the Channel's criteria accumulates within a last-30-day period.
You can assign internal users to each Channel and can also set up alerts so that they receive a notification when new content is added.
To access your Channels, choose a Content Type (like Reviews) from the left-hand menu, then select Channels.
1. Channel Content Count - shows the amount of content within a particular Channel
2. Title & Description - shows the name of the Channel and gives an explanation of what the Channel contains (click the title of the Channel to see the content)
3. Manage Users & Alerts - takes you to tools where you can set up Channel email alerts, recipients, and frequency
If you want to set up specific alerts for your users, click into Manage Users & Alerts for the Channel. A window appears where you can modify and control the alerts for that specific Channel.
1. Manage Users - select the users in your PowerReviews Portal account that you want to receive alerts
2. Manage Alerts - select how often you want alerts sent to the users you selected (by default, no alerts are sent to your users)
3. Click Save once you finish selecting your users and updating the alert frequency
The following Channels will appear under Reviews:
The following Channels will appear under Q&A:
Worklists are a way for your internal team to use a queue-based system to moderate, respond to, and assign user-generated content (UGC) to Subject Matter Experts (SMEs). Worklists use the existing Channels to filter content based on specific criteria such as Low Rated Reviews, Escalated Reviews, Unanswered Questions, and Awaiting Moderation.
One of the main differences between the Worklist view and the standard Channel view is the content that is returned. While a Channel returns all content from the past 30 days that meets its criteria, the Worklist removes content that has been acted on by your team. This includes adding an Observation, changing the publication status, responding to or answering the UGC, or assigning it to another user. This allows your team to see all new content as it comes in and work to provide a better customer experience.
An additional feature of Worklists is content locks. These locks ensure that multiple users viewing the same Worklist will all see different content so that they do not interfere with each other's work.
Worklists are sorted from oldest UGC to newest UGC and include one-at-a-time viewing of content. This way, a user can focus on providing the customer with the result they need (moderating a review, answering a question, or assigning it to another SME at your organization, etc.) before proceeding to the next available piece of UGC to action.
