About Modifying Sentiment, Effort, and Emotional Intensity Bands

Sentiment, effort, and emotional intensity are system metrics that Discover provides for you. You can modify the thresholds of these metrics to change which results should fall into each of their defined bands, or which sentiment color should be applied to a data point in a graph or table.

Qtip: Changes to these bands are applied on a project-level.
Warning: Be careful changing these thresholds, since they will be applied to all widgets and filters for all users in this project.
