Using Sections can really help organise your coverage. Its easier for your readers to find, add more context, and it'll help you find the clips in those Sections later on when you want to make a summary report.
Import coverage directly into sections
If you'd like to organise all your coverage into sections - perhaps by coverage type, or event, month, or region, you can choose to upload new clips to an existing section you've created, or set up a new one.
Can I add some text to introduce my coverage?
When you've created a Section, its possible to edit the name and add some text to introduce the coverage in that Section of clips.
Click on the edit icon to the right of the Section name
You can now change the name of the Section and add in a short paragraph of text. This will show in the online shared report link and PDF.
Reorder the sections in your report
Head to the Overview page and you can either drag and drop your sections or click on the up and down arrows to reorganise them (the top section will show first in your report and so on).
Switch to Grid or List view when editing your reports
There's a couple of view options you can use when editing coverage (your clients won't see these views in the final report).
We show clips in a Section in grid view by default, but you can also toggle the switch above to view your clips in list order. This is a great way to see more clips at once and all the data on the right.
Automatically sort your coverage
We've included some automatic sort options where you can reorder all your coverage in each of your sections section by date, title and by metric (audience, engagements, views). This'll save you time in future as we'll automatically sort all your new imports into your chosen order!
Click on the Sort coverage by button.
And select how you'd like to organise your coverage automatically. Here I've selected Views (largest) from the drop down list.
If you'd like to save this sorting option for the Section in your report, click on Automatically maintain this order. Any new clips you add to the Section will automatically be added in your chosen sorting order.
We'll do this just for this section, so you can choose to reorder your coverage a different way for each section of your report.
If you have automatic sorting switched on, you won't be able to manually drag and drop clips to fine tune their order. Switch off the auto sort button above and you can now move clips again manually.
I've sorted by date but they're not saving in the right order?
Where possible we'll collect the published date from the article, but sometimes that's not possible. Any clips that don't have a date will go to the end of the Section. Just add the date manually and we'll place the clip in the right order for you.
Switching to List View in a Section is a great way to quickly see all your clips, with their published dates so you can quickly see any that need adding.
Manually ordering coverage
You can also manually order your coverage. For single clips you can drag and drop them to a new location.
To move multiple clips (either in the grid or list view), click on the checkbox to select the clips (you can also select all if you wanted to move all the clips to another part of your report).
Then click on one of the options in the drop down menu.
You can now:
Delete your selected clips from the report
Move the clips to the front or end of the section
Move selected clips to any position in the section
Add clips to a newly created section
Move clips to an existing section
