The Saved Filters feature in BrandMentions is a powerful tool designed to streamline your workflow and maintain consistency across your analyses. Once you’ve built a complex and valuable combination of filters, you can save it for quick access later, perfect for recurring tasks such as weekly reports, campaign monitoring, or competitor analysis.
Instead of manually recreating the same filter setup every time, you can apply a saved filter with just one click.
How to Save a Filter Combination
Saving a filter combination is simple and can be done directly from the Mentions Dashboard.
Create your filter combination
Apply all the filters you want to include. For example, you might combine:Sentiment: Negative
Source: News
Reach: Greater than 10,000
Find the “Save Filter” option
Once your filters are active, look for a “Save Filter” or “Save as” button, usually near the active filters display at the top of your mentions feed.
3. Name your saved filter
Give your combination a clear, descriptive name that will help you recognize its purpose later, for example, “High-Reach Negative News.”
4. Save the filter
Click the save button to add it to your list of Saved Filters.

Click on the name of the saved filter you want to use. Your mentions feed will instantly update with the same filtering criteria, no manual setup required.
How to Edit or Delete a Saved Filter

You’ll see options (or icons) to:Edit the filter - adjust its criteria or rename it.

Tips and Best Practices
Create filters for your KPIs:
If you monitor specific Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), save filters aligned with them, for example, “Positive Mentions from Top Media” or “Customer Feedback - Negative Sentiment.” This saves time during reporting.Share filters with your team:
For consistent analysis across your organization, create a set of shared filters for recurring tasks so everyone evaluates data the same way.Temporary vs. permanent filters:
Save only the filters you use often (like weekly monitoring or competitor analysis). For one-time or experimental analyses, apply filters ad-hoc without saving them.Regularly review your saved filters:
Keep your workspace clean by reviewing and updating your saved filters periodically. Delete outdated ones and refine those you still use to reflect your current workflow.
Conclusion: Simplify and Standardize Your Monitoring
The Saved Filters feature in BrandMentions ensures that your analysis process stays efficient, accurate, and repeatable. By saving your go-to filter combinations, you reduce repetitive setup time and ensure every team member works from the same analytical framework — helping you focus on insights rather than setup.
