IMPORTANT NOTICE (17 May 2014): Datasift recently changed their policy and SFTP push is now only available to enterprise customers. We will shortly be upgrading our service to use S3 as the interchange mechanism, which is still available to "Pay As You Go" users. In the meantime, this service is only usable by enterprise Datasift Enterprise Tier users. |

In order to allow the new user to build data sources and entities, it is also necessary to change their role within their communities. Communities in Infinit.e allow segmentation of both data and user access rights. By default there is one shared community, the "Infinit.e System Community" (and each user has their own "Personal Community", which cannot hold data but is used for things like personalized settings and aliases being testing). The Manager Web app allows user to create new communities, to add/remove users, and to change users' permissions, this is discussed below.

- Build queries to bring subsets of data into the GUI
- (see under "Searching Using Infinit.e" in the aforementioned guide; a full description of the query function is provided here, note many of the parameters map onto the "Advanced Options" tab, which is described below)
- For a given query, visualize the data in one of the many "widgets" that show different slices of the data and its aggregations
- (see under "Visualizations (Widgets)" and "Canvas" in the aforementioned guide; building your own widgets is described here).
- To drill down (filter) to a small number of documents you can temporarily select subsets of the data from one widget and see how it affects other widgets.
- (see under "Filtering" in the aforementioned guide)
...
- Doc Browser: View the individual documents and their metadata, ranked by score or date, together with their entities.
- Useful for analyzing specific documents once filtering or querying has reduced the dataset to manageable size.
- Entity Significance: View the entities across all documents, ranked by score or frequency.
- Useful for seeing the entities that are common or significant within a dataset.
- Sentiment: View any entities with sentiment, across all documents, ranked by score or frequency, or various sentiment statistics.
- Useful for viewing high level sentiment of entities at a glance.
- Map: Show geo-tagged documents and events, and places mentioned in the content.
- Useful for visualizing the geographic distribution of the social media in the queried dataset.
- Timeline: Shows documents and document counts over time.
- Useful for longer running Datasift sources to see how the volumes change and
- Event Graph: Shows a link analysis chart of associations.
- Useful for visualizations of subsets of social networks, or for viewing topical/thematic relationships between content publishers.
- Event Timeline: Shows timestamped associations between entities over time, including the start/end times of long running associations.
- Useful for seeing the temporal aspect of social networks (the event graph does not include time as a dimension)
- Entity Alias Builder: combine different entities representing the same eg person, or discard unwanted entities. See this section in the advanced topics.
- Custom Viewers - map and bar graph: for simple visualizations of custom analytics generated using the plugin manager. See this section in the advanced topics.

One final thing to note is that it is possible to build your own widgets, either from scratch using our eclipse plugin, or starting with one of our open source widgets. Once built, they can easily be uploaded into the application,
