Kommon Poll homepage overview with navigation, toolbar, and history

Homepage Layout

The homepage is divided into three main areas:

  • Left navigation panel
  • Top action bar
  • Main workspace area with recent searches and search history

The left navigation panel exposes the main exploration paths

The left sidebar provides access to the main app areas.

Dashboard

Returns you to the main search and history view.

Saved Searches

Opens your saved keyword searches.

Full Search History

Shows saved and unsaved searches across your workspace, with filtering and sorting options.

Team Saved Searches

Shows searches saved by team members. This entry is dynamic and may only appear when team-saved searches are available.

Settings

Opens the Settings hub. The current Settings page is grouped into:

Settings group Items
Account settings Account details, Subscriptions, Billing, Teams, Activity
Monitoring Social Tracking, Social Linking
Report Settings PDF Formats, Slide Formats
Notifications Notifications Center, WhatsApp Settings, Slack Settings

Use these paths for common setup tasks:

  • Sidebar -> Settings -> Monitoring -> Social Tracking
  • Sidebar -> Settings -> Monitoring -> Social Linking
  • Sidebar -> Settings -> Notifications -> Notifications Center
  • Sidebar -> Settings -> Notifications -> WhatsApp Settings
  • Sidebar -> Settings -> Notifications -> Slack Settings
  • Sidebar -> Settings -> Report Settings -> PDF Formats
  • Sidebar -> Settings -> Report Settings -> Slide Formats
  • Sidebar -> Settings -> Account settings -> Account details
  • Sidebar -> Settings -> Account settings -> Subscriptions
  • Sidebar -> Settings -> Account settings -> Billing
  • Sidebar -> Settings -> Account settings -> Teams
  • Sidebar -> Settings -> Account settings -> Activity

Manual Tracking and integration requests are not separate sidebar items. Open them from Sidebar -> Settings -> Monitoring -> Social Tracking, then use the Manual Tracking or Requests buttons.

Profile Section

The profile area shows your current user and team context. If you belong to more than one team, use the team switcher before creating searches, changing settings, or reviewing quota.

Usage Quota

Usage information is handled through the Settings flow and quota panels rather than as a standalone left-sidebar destination in the current interface.

Top Action Bar

Top action bar with quick project creation and search controls

The top bar provides quick actions.

Kommon Poll AI Ask

The top bar can show an AI search field with the placeholder Ask Kommon Poll AI about these results... and an Ask button. It appears in supported result or dashboard contexts and sends your question to Kommon Poll AI with the current results as context.

Start a New Project

Opens the guided onboarding flow for creating a saved listening project.

Runs a lightweight search without completing the full project setup flow. This control can be dynamic; if your workspace has no usable saved searches yet or only a seeded sample search, Quick Search navigation may not appear until there is more search history.

Full Screen / Expand View

Toggles a more focused view of the current screen.

Recent Searches

Recent search cards capture quick lookups and team context

Recent search cards show:

  • Search type, such as own search or team search
  • Search name
  • Last run or last viewed time
  • Query preview
  • Open search action

Use this area to resume recent investigations without rebuilding the query.

Search History

A detailed search history table surface

The search history table includes:

  • Saved tab for searches you saved
  • Team tab for team-saved searches
  • All tab for the broader search history
  • Search box for finding searches by title or keyword
  • Results-per-page controls

This area is useful for teams managing multiple brands, campaigns, and recurring investigations.

Search History Actions

Depending on the row and permissions, search history actions can include:

  • Reopen or run the search again.
  • Remove a saved or historical item where permitted.
  • Open report settings or report branding for the saved search.
  • Open notification settings for the saved search.
  • Open search settings to adjust project details, query, topics, official accounts, or branding.

Use the Saved tab for searches you own, Team for searches saved by team members, and All for the broader search history, including unsaved searches.

Search Item Icons

Search entries may show:

  • A brand logo, when available
  • Initials, when no logo is available

These identifiers make long histories easier to scan.
