Automate a Coverage Report

Using Alerts, you can have coverage automatically added to your report, saving you valuable time and effort. There are 2 ways you can automate a Coverage Report: 1) from the Coverage Report Settings as shown below, or 2) within the Settings for an Alert.


Automate Your Report From Search Results

  1. From your Search Results page, select the Automate Coverage Report button from the action bar that appears at the top.

    Shows the Search Results page with the Automate Coverage Report button circled in red


  2. Select an existing Coverage Report using the dropdown or create a new Coverage Report by entering a name into the field on the right, then select the Save button.

    Shows the "Automate Coverage Report" page


Automate Your Report From Coverage Report Settings

  1. Navigate to your Coverage Report Settings page.

    Shows the 'Coverage Report Settings' page


  2. Scroll down to the Data automation section.

    Shows the 'Data automation' section of the Coverage Report Settings page


  3. If you'd like to use an existing Alert (or multiple alerts) to power your Coverage Report, toggle the Add content from Alerts option to ON, then select an Alert using the dropdown menu.

    Shows the 'Select Alerts' dropdown circled in red


    If you'd like to use keywords and filters to power your Coverage Report, you can toggle the Keywords & filters button to ON and add your Boolean string into the text box.

    Shows the 'Keywords to monitor' field circled in red

    Finally, if you'd like to automatically compile Broadcast clips in your Coverage Report, toggle the Broadcast clips button to ON.

    Shows the 'Broadcast clips' header circled in red


    NOTE: When broadcast clips are added to your Coverage Reports through keywords and filters, you will still need to save the broadcast clip to ensure the video and transcript remain available. Learn more about clip availability and how to save broadcast clips in our Broadcast Clips article.

  4. Select the Save button at the bottom.

    Shows the 'Save' button circled in red


Automate Your Report From Alert Settings

  1. When creating or editing an Alert, navigate to the bottom of the Alert Settings page to the Automate Coverage Report section.


  2. Select an existing Coverage Report using the dropdown or enter a name to create a new Coverage Report.

    Shows the 'Data automation' section at the bottom of the Alert Settings page


  3. Select the Save button at the bottom.
