In all Twitter Trackers, there's a detailed report available for every single Tweet. To access the report, click on the bar graph icon below any Tweet in your Tracker.
Basic report metrics
In the report, you'll first see the Tweet itself, as well as information about the Twitter account. You can click on the Tweet timestamp to view the Tweet on Twitter.
Next comes the impressions and responses charts. The first chart shows potential impressions for the Tweet, broken out by direct and amplified (those impressions generated through retweets and replies). The second chart shows responses to the Tweet, including retweets and replies. You can see when responses happened on the chart. Use these charts to see how quickly a Tweet spread, how engagement with the Tweet emerged, and identify inflection points when influencers got involved in a conversation.
Finally, we display the replies and retweets themselves. On the left, you'll see Top Replies. This includes the top 25 replies to the Tweet, sorted by total amplified impressions. Replies on Twitter are a little complicated, so if you're curious about how many impressions a reply has generated, read this.
On the right, you'll see Top Retweets - the top 25 retweeters sorted by impressions generated. This corresponds to how many followers each account had at the time of the retweet. In this table, you can also see when the retweet occurred. Use this to look for clusters and determine inflection points in a conversation's trajectory. Did most of your retweets happen in the first 30-60 minutes? This is typical. It also means you can tweet again after an hour or two to catch other followers who may have missed the first Tweet. Use this along with the responses chart above to find out when a conversation died down to know when it's okay to post again.
Owned account engagement metrics
In addition to the metrics described above, owned account Trackers include additional engagement data in Tweet detail reports. These metrics are available in all authenticated Twitter account Trackers and are updated in real time.

- Log into your account.
- Go to your Tracker listing.
- Click the edit icon next to the account Tracker you want to update (can be any account you have login credentials for).
- On the Tracker edit screen, click the "Sign in with Twitter" button to authenticate.
- Save your Tracker.
