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
From your Search Results page, select the Automate Coverage Report button from the action bar that appears at the top.
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.
Automate Your Report From Coverage Report Settings
Navigate to your Coverage Report Settings page.
Scroll down to the Data automation section.
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.
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.
Finally, if you'd like to automatically compile Broadcast clips in your Coverage Report, toggle the Broadcast clips button to ON.
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.
Select the Save button at the bottom.
Automate Your Report From Alert Settings
When creating or editing an Alert, navigate to the bottom of the Alert Settings page to the Automate Coverage Report section.
Select an existing Coverage Report using the dropdown or enter a name to create a new Coverage Report.
Select the Save button at the bottom.
⚠️Important: Automating a report will not immediately populate it with articles. You may need to backfill your report using one of the options outlined in our Populate a Coverage Report article.
