Using the Twitter Tracker

Use this context application to send tweets by using your own Twitter account and to display messages from Twitter by using customized search terms. Enter customized search terms to personalize what messages are displayed in the context application. You can set up searches that allow you to follow keywords and users. The context application refreshes and displays the most recent messages based on your searches.

To function properly, the Twitter Tracker requires the Infor Ming.le administrator to enter keys at the site collection level. For more information, consult your Infor Ming.le administrator.

The Twitter Tracker context application has these tabs:

The Twitter Tracker Trackings tab displays tweets based on the search terms entered under My Trackings in the context application settings and any search terms sent in context. If there are any search terms sent in context, the terms are displayed under the In-Context Trackings heading under the context application toolbar. You can click the arrow to the right of the heading to expand and collapse the list of in-context search terms.

Below each tweet are these icons:

  • Untrack: If you are currently tracking the search terms in the body of the tweet, an Untrack icon is displayed. Click the Untrack icon to remove the search terms from the context application settings.
  • Track: If the hash marked search terms are not in your My Trackings section of the context application setting, a Track icon is displayed. Click the Track icon and select the term that you want to add to your My Trackings section.
  • Reply: Using the Twitter account that you are signed in with, click the Reply icon to reply to a tweet.
  • Retweet: Using the Twitter account that you are signed in with, click the Retweet icon to re-tweet the selected tweet.
