See what moved the sentiment line — not just that it moved
SentiTrack overlays your company's reorgs, policy changes and launches onto the sentiment timeline as full-day event bands, so a dip stops being a mystery and starts being a cause you can name.
A calendar overlay plots full-day business events — reorgs, policy changes, launches, layoffs — directly onto a sentiment timeline so you can correlate tone shifts with their likely cause. SentiTrack lets each org keep own, shared and company-wide calendars, then renders their events as colored bands behind every Time Graph series.
A sentiment dip with no context is just anxiety
You see tone drop in the operations team in mid-March, but the chart can't tell you why. Was it the reorg announcement, the new expenses policy, or the product launch crunch? Without the events plotted alongside the line, every shift becomes a guessing game — and you waste the first hour of every review reconstructing the timeline from memory and Slack threads.
Plot the cause on the same axis as the effect
SentiTrack's calendar overlay sits on top of the Time Graph. You log full-day events — a reorg, a policy change, a launch, a key departure — on a calendar, and they render as colored bands behind every sentiment series. Now the eye does the correlation for you: a dip that starts the day after a policy lands tells its own story. Calendars come in three scopes so the right context reaches the right people without clutter.
- Three calendar scopes: your own private calendar, calendars shared read-only with specific colleagues, and company-wide calendars every admin sees
- Full-day events only — no fiddly start/end times; you mark the day something happened and move on
- Color-coded bands per calendar, toggled on and off independently so you can isolate one source of context at a time
- Overlays any Time Graph view — split-by department, location or attribute, with server-side rolling smoothing underneath
From event to correlation in three steps
Spin up a calendar at the scope you need — private to you, shared read-only with named colleagues, or company-wide for every admin. Give it a color so its events are instantly recognizable on the chart.
Add the things that move morale: a reorg, a new policy, a launch, a layoff, an office move, a return-to-office mandate. Each event is a full day (or multi-day span) — no clocks, no timezones to wrangle.
Open the Time Graph, toggle the calendars you want, and the events appear as colored bands behind your sentiment series. Line up the dips and spikes with the events that bracket them.
A sentiment drop sitting the week after a policy band is a hypothesis you can act on. The overlay replaces 'tone fell in Q2' with 'tone fell after the RTO mandate' — a sentence a leadership team can actually do something with.
Keep a private calendar of things you're tracking, share a calendar read-only with HR or a regional lead, and let company-wide events — launches, all-hands, reorgs — sit on everyone's chart. Each viewer toggles only the context they want.
Org events don't happen at 2:47 p.m.; they happen on a day. Events are full-day only, so logging context takes seconds and the timeline never argues with you about minutes or timezones.
Overlay events onto any Time Graph series — split by department, location, or any attribute — to see whether a change hit one branch hard and left another untouched, all on the same smoothed axis.
Run a clean quarterly review: open the period, switch on the company calendar, and walk the line event by event. No reconstructing the timeline from memory, no scattered Slack archaeology.
The overlay correlates scores with events you logged — it reads nothing from your inbox. The sentiment beneath it was produced by scoring bodies and immediately discarding them; only the 1–10 score and metadata are stored.
Context on top, no content underneath
The calendar overlay adds the 'why' to your sentiment trends without touching your communications. It correlates scores with events you logged by hand. The sentiment it sits on was generated by scoring message bodies and discarding them on the spot — SentiTrack persists only the 1–10 score, participants, timestamp, direction and a subject hash.
- Zero message bodies, subject text or attachments are ever stored
- Calendar events are data you enter — the overlay reads nothing from your inbox
- Configurable retention (default 365 days) plus a hard-delete endpoint
- Want content to never leave your network? SentiTrack Edge scores locally and pushes only the 1–10 scores
Calendar overlay — FAQ
How does a calendar overlay help me understand sentiment changes?
A calendar overlay plots business events — reorgs, policy changes, launches, departures — as colored bands directly behind your sentiment timeline, so you can see whether a tone shift lines up with a known cause. Instead of 'sentiment dropped in March,' you get 'sentiment dropped the week the reorg was announced.'
What kinds of events can I overlay on the sentiment timeline?
Any full-day business event you choose to log: reorganizations, policy changes, product launches, layoffs, office moves, return-to-office mandates, leadership changes, or key departures. SentiTrack stores events as full-day (DATE) entries — no start and end times — so logging context is fast and free of timezone fiddliness.
Can I share calendars with my team?
Yes. SentiTrack supports three calendar scopes: a private calendar visible only to you, calendars shared read-only with specific named colleagues, and company-wide calendars every admin in the org can see. Each viewer toggles which calendars appear on their chart, so the overlay stays relevant and uncluttered.
Does the calendar overlay read my email or messages?
No. The overlay only displays events you manually log on a calendar; it reads nothing from your inbox or chat. The sentiment line beneath it is produced by scoring message bodies 1–10 and immediately discarding them — SentiTrack stores zero message bodies, only the score plus metadata and a subject hash.
Where do the calendar events appear?
Calendar events overlay the Time Graph — SentiTrack's time-series view of sentiment — rendering as color-coded full-day bands behind every plotted series. The overlay works with split-by views (by department, location, or any attribute) and with the server-side rolling smoothing that keeps the underlying trend readable.
Is the calendar overlay GDPR-compliant?
The overlay itself stores only the events you log and the 1–10 sentiment scores it sits on — never message bodies, subject text or attachments. Note that correlating sentiment with demographic attributes can constitute GDPR Article 9 special-category data; the DPIA, lawful basis and any employee consent are the customer's responsibility under the ToS, which SentiTrack does not require or verify.
