Timeline graphs visualise your coverage numbers and key metrics over time. You can choose to display 3 core metrics:
Coverage counts
Views
Engagements
We'll automatically include a timeline graph in the intro section of your report (after the metrics summary page). As you add coverage it'll plot the graph by published date (or date first added when there's no published date available).
We'll show a quick preview of what the chart looks like...
Customising your chart
Click into the image of the chart and you can edit it.
Name
Give your chart a name by selecting the pen icon next to 'Coverage Timeline'. This will show when you share the report online or as a PDF.
Choose which data to display
You can choose from:
Coverage count - The number of pieces of coverage over time
Views - The views the coverage received over time
Engagements - The number of engagements over time
Time period
Choose how you'd like the data to be grouped, by day, week, month, or year.
Chart type
Choose between Line chart or Bar chart views
Colour
If you have a workspace brand colour set, it will default to that colour, but you can also choose to pick your own.
Once you're happy with how everything looks, click Save.
Your timeline graph will now appear in your report and will be included when you share the report online or as a PDF. We'll also carry over any chart settings you've saved if you create a new template from the report.
How to add a timeline graph to a previous report
Older reports you've already created wont' show a timeline chart by default, but you can add one!
Click Add a block, then choose Add timeline graph. That will create a new graph for you to customise.
If you wanted to show a mix of coverage numbers over time vs views or engagements, you can add more than one chart to your report!
