A Step-by-Step Guide to Creating a Clip Sheet
Clip sheets can be easily created in ImpactWatch (IW) to aid presentations, handouts, or general office gossip on the latest company news. A clip sheet is a multipage document that contains not only summaries of the articles, but the full text as well. Along with that, the clip sheet’s first page contains summary points such as the number of pickups, total reach, and dates. Article summaries appear similarly to how they appear in the News section of IW with headlines, summary, tonality, and other important information. Below is a step-by-step guide to creating one of these valuable clip sheets.
1. Login with your username and password, and then click on the News section in the right-hand menu.
2. Using the filters, select the appropriate range of articles. You can filter articles by favorability, date range, type of article, and even search for specific key words.
3. Once you have selected the appropriate filters, click on Display.
4. When you are satisfied with the articles present, click the box next to Choose at the top right of the page to select Create Clip Sheet.
5. From this page, use the check boxes to select all of the appropriate articles for your clip sheet. You can also check Select All to…select them all!
6. Next, click on the blue Create Clip Sheet button on the upper left (make sure that you have PDF or DOC selected as you would like it to appear).
7. A dialogue box will appear asking you if you would like to save or open the file.
8. Your clip sheet is now complete, and you can use IW to create as many as you would like.
