Group your authors into teams to create dashboards specifically for tracking the collective performance of their stories. Teams could reflect the desks in your newsroom, your various content production departments, or even short-term projects and initiatives.
Create a new team
Please note: only admin-level users can manage teams.
-
To start, click on the user icon in the top-right of your Metrics for News application and select "Settings". On the Settings screen, under "People", select "Teams".
- Click "Add new team".
- In the pop-up, enter a Name for your team (e.g., News, Education, etc.).
- In the Authors field, use the dropdown menu to select the authors for this team.
- Click "Save team".
If you have just added a new author, you may need to also add a user account for that author. If they already had a user account, you may need to connect the user account with their author profile to allow them to see this team dashboard.
Managing teams
If you have recently added a new author or started tracking a new byline, you may want to also add them to one or more teams.
To start, click on the user icon in the top-right of your Metrics for News application and select "Settings". On the Settings screen, under People, select "Teams".
On this page, you will see a list of all teams with their associated authors:
To add an author to a team, click "Edit" on the team you would like to add them to.
On this edit page, start typing the author's name in the "Authors" text box and select the author you want to add from the dropdown list. If you do not see them on the list, you may need to add that author to Metrics for News.
Once you click "Save team" you should automatically see that author's stories and byline show up on the Teams dashboard.
To delete a team you no longer need, click "Delete" for the team on the Teams management page.
