Charts are the building blocks of content in Coverage Reports, and they come in different types, from quantitative to qualitative, catered to our user’s needs.

Content charts are the basic building blocks of every Coverage Report - they contain a list of content you have added to a Coverage Report, and modelled closely after the Feed Results page.

Users have the option to select the visual layout of their Content as they build the Coverage Report, with options to choose an Expanded view, Magazine view or Table view. They can also have a combination of the different layouts in their Coverage Report!

This layout closely mirrors the default Feed Results view in a TRAC search. In the expanded layout users can select and show up to 50 pieces of content per chart. You can add multiple expanded feed charts in a Coverage Report, just bear in mind that you can visualise up to 50 items each time. In practice, this means if you wanted to add 100 pieces of content to your Coverage Report and visualise them in the expanded layout, then you’ll need to add 2 Feed charts with an expanded layout.

This layout is more visual, focusing on the images included in a piece of content. In the magazine layout, users can select and show up to 3 pieces of content per chart. You can add multiple magazine feed charts in a Coverage Report, just bear in mind that you can visualise up to 3 items each time. In practice, this means if you wanted to add 10 pieces of content to your Coverage Report and visualise them in the magazine layout, then you’ll need to add 4 Feed charts with a magazine layout.

This layout is a stripped down version of the Expanded view. We have removed any media and graphics, and rather emphasis is on the key metrics and the text in the selected posts. In the table view, users can select and show up to 50 pieces of content per chart. You can add multiple table feed charts in a Coverage Report, just bear in mind that you can visualise up to 50 items each time. In practice, this means if you wanted to add 100 pieces of content to your Coverage Report and visualise them in the table layout, then you’ll need to add 2 Feed charts with a table layout.

Users have the ability to incorporate up to 20 Feed charts within each Coverage Report, with the flexibility to choose from the different layouts available to suit their specific needs.

Additionally, they can personalise the title and append descriptions to any Feed chart they include.

Users have the option to insert comments on individual pieces of content within these charts. This feature proves especially valuable when summarising key observations, extracting notable quotes from articles, or adding hyperlinks to related resources.

In every Coverage Report, users may find it necessary to provide their own insights or comments alongside the presented information. To accommodate this need, we've introduced a new feature called the Free Text Chart within Coverage Reports, empowering users to do just that.

With this chart, users can seamlessly include substantial paragraphs of text and format them according to their preferences, including the ability to:
