I’m a Solver. What data can I see for public reports?

Learn about the insights available from Snapper interactions with public reports.

Public Reporting Overview

When a Snapper creates a report, they can choose to make it visible to other Snappers in the community.

Making reports public increases the visibility of local issues, raises awareness, and allows others to follow their progress until they are Solved. It also helps reduce duplicate submissions, as users can engage with existing reports related to issues that impact them without having to create new requests.

Understanding Public Reactions Data in the Solver Portal

Public reactions data is available for all reports. Solvers can view this data when managing reports in the Solver Portal.

Public reactions data offers insights into community engagement through three key metrics:

  • Visible in feed: Whether the Snapper has made the report visible to other Snappers

  • Views: How many times the report has been viewed

  • Saves: How many Snappers have saved a report to follow its progress

This data is updated throughout the report's lifespan and helps Solvers understand community interest, prioritise actions, and maximise the impact of resolving issues.

Visible in feed

Visible in feed indicates whether the Snapper has chosen to make their report visible to others. The Snapper can change this preference at any time.

In some cases, a report may be set to public by the Snapper, but if it's flagged by our AI moderation system, it will be automatically made private and hidden from the Snap Feed.

Views

The view count shows how many Snappers have viewed a public report. Reports shared in public online groups often see higher view counts, reflecting increased awareness and interest. This metric helps Solvers gauge the reach of a report within the community.

Saves

When a report is public, Snappers can save it to track its resolution. The save count reflects the level of ongoing interest and engagement with the issue.

Snappers who have saved a report will see the label "Snapped" or "Solved." "Snapped" consolidates all active statuses, i.e. Viewed, In Progress and Reassigned. "Solved" is shown when the report is closed as Solved by either the Snapper or the Solver.

  • Increase in saves: As a report gains traction, save counts often rise, showing how many users are actively following the issue.

  • Decrease in saves: Once the report is marked as Solved, the save count may decrease as fewer users want to actively monitor the resolved issue.

Flagged reports

When a report is created, its photos and description are automatically reviewed to check for any of the following types of sensitive content:

  • Harmful or inappropriate content

    (e.g. harassment, hate speech, explicit material, violence)

  • Personally identifiable information (PII)

    (e.g. full names, specific addresses linked to individuals, email addresses)

  • Aggressive or harsh criticism of Solvers

    (especially if targeted at specific people or organisations)

If this type of content is detected, the report will be flagged and hidden from public view in the Snap Feed.

View the AI Moderation cell or the Public reactions information on the Report details page to see whether a Snap was flagged.
