The Search Listing Page

Monitoring Searches within your Cision account's library are essential, as they contain the words and phrases that are used to automatically bring relevant articles and mentions into your account on an ongoing basis .  Monitoring searches are responsible for all of the content you see in your system, whether in a list view of earned coverage, analytics dashboard, or report.  Further, the data displayed in each a analytics dashboard or  widget is a direct function of the monitoring search attached to that widget.

To access the Monitoring Search Listing Page in your account:

Select the Coverage tab and click on the Saved Searches option.
This page will show all of the Searches that have been created in your Cision account and provides the option to create a new search.

Search Listing Page:

The Search Listing page is where you can find the following: 

1. All Searches: Displays all saved searches you have access to, including searches that you have created or your team has created and shared.
2. My Searches: Displays all saved searches you have created.
3. Searches Shared with Me: Displays all saved searches created by your team and shared.
4. Archived Searches: Displays searches that are no longer active.
5. You also have the option of displaying different search Categories and Campaigns you have created or were shared with you by others. 
6. If the saved search is connected to any Dashboards or Campaigns, they will display when clicking on the Connections link.
   • Best Practice: Share searches with your team prior to adding them to any dashboards you will share with your team, to avoid creating a duplicate search. Learn how to share a search here!
7. If there is an active Spike Alert for the saved search, a green dot will display to the left of the search name and a window displaying Spike Alert Active will display when hovering over the green dot.
8. If a saved search is shared with all members of your team, a People Icon will display.
9. If a Chart Color has been applied, the color and color code will display in the Chart Color column. (NOTE: This is a great way to brand your dashboards and reports, as this color will display for the search's data in all charts. The platform will assign a color if none is selected).
10. In addition, this page is also where you can create New searches.
