Meltwater consists of several different applications, all within one platform. The Meltwater home page and navigation bar allow you to easily move around the different areas of Meltwater you have access to.
Home Page
The Meltwater Home page is the default landing page each time you log in. It consists of three areas.
Welcome banner for onboarding
When you log in to Meltwater, you will find a welcome banner at the top of your homepage, welcoming you.
When clicking into 'Launch onboarding' your onboarding task for getting started will launch. The tasks open at the bottom of the screen and are based on your selected goals when you log in to Meltwater for the first time, via this survey.
This banner can be collapsed (via the X in the top right-hand corner, or opened again at any time.
Universal Search Bar
There is a Universal Search Bar at the top of the page that will help you find what you are looking for to get started. It allows you to search for existing assets,
help articles, and run ad-hoc Explore searches, right from the homepage!
The universal search bar consists of five separate functions:
The search bar - this is where the word/phrase is entered
Explore the topic - launches an ad-hoc, keyword search on the word/phrase entered
Company entity search - Automatically generates company suggestions based on the text you have typed. The entity combines the company name, associated social media accounts, stock tickers, and visual content such as logos, to find all relevant matches of the company.
Assets - includes all available assets that share the name of the word/phrase you’ve entered, including saved searches, tags, labels, and dashboards
Guides and resources - launches the help center in a new tab, and searches for the word/phrase entered.
