Keep an eye on what matters—with Locus Elite Dashboards

Aug 20, 2026

Sometimes, you need to keep a constant eye on what is happening—whether a campaign has just launched, an issue is developing quickly, media coverage is suddenly increasing, or a social conversation is gaining attention. But keeping up can mean returning to the same searches throughout the day and moving between different views just to understand what has changed. 

Locus Elite Dashboards bring the coverage, conversations, trends, and metrics that matter together in one continuously updated view. Instead of rebuilding the same analysis every time you check in, you can quickly see what has changed, what is gaining attention, and what may need a closer look. 

And because every team has different monitoring priorities, Dashboards can be set up around what you need to follow and how you prefer to work.

Create Dashboards Your Way

You can create a Dashboard in three ways within the Locus Elite app: 

1. Have a clear monitoring goal in mind? 
Choose goal-based monitoring — start with a monitoring objective such as following day-to-day coverage, watching reputation and risk, tracking a campaign or launch, focusing on press or social activity, or comparing competitors. Locus Elite recommends relevant widgets based on your goal to help you get started.

2. Already know exactly what you want to see? 
Build exactly what you need — start from scratch and choose the KPIs, trends, visualisations, and live feeds that matter to your monitoring. 

3. Not sure where to start? 
Simply describe what you need — explain your monitoring requirement in plain language and get recommended widgets based on your request, giving you a starting point even when your needs do not fit neatly into a predefined goal. 

Whichever starting point you choose, the Dashboard can be refined as your monitoring needs change. Combine up to 24 widgets, use different search queries and date ranges, and add, remove, rename, or reorder elements. This means you can bring immediate activity and live conversations together with longer-term trends, rather than looking at each part of the picture separately.

Keep Monitoring Without Starting Over

Once your Dashboard is set up, your monitoring stays in place, ready whenever you need to see what has changed. Active Dashboards automatically refresh every 30 minutes, while data can also be refreshed whenever you need the latest view. 

💻Keep a Dashboard open at your desk,

📱Check it on your phone when an issue begins moving quickly,

📺 Display it on a large TV screen, or

🔗 Share it with others using hosted external link 

Allowing colleagues and relevant stakeholders to follow the same live view without having to set up the monitoring themselves. 

Whether you are tracking everyday coverage, following a campaign, monitoring an emerging issue, or comparing media presence, Locus Elite Dashboards give you a flexible, always-on view built around what matters to you. With the monitoring already in place, you can focus on understanding what is changing, what needs attention, and what to do next.
