Please note the configuration of your Launchpad may vary by region and in accordance with your Cision contract. If you have questions about your configuration, please reach out to your Cision Account Manager.

Launch into your comms and media with Launchpad

Launchpad is the first thing you will see when you sign in to CisionOne. It provides a broad view of coverage activity across your entire Keyword Brief (including your Primary Mention Stream) and highlights user engagement across the platform. Launchpad also provides one-click access to the CisionOne features that matter most to you, ensuring seamless and timely navigation.

Your Primary Mention Stream

You can choose a Mention Stream to be your Primary Mention Stream on your Launchpad.

To set the Primary Mention Stream, select a mention stream from the drop-down menu and then click on the star symbol.

You can change your Primary Mention Stream at any point by repeating the process outlined above.

You also have the ability to temporarily pin a secondary Mention Stream to your Launchpad to review coverage in detail, simply select from the dropdown menu.

Customizing Your Launchpad Primary Mention Stream

Once your preferred Mention Stream has been selected, you can use the date drop-down to review coverage from your chosen timeframe.

  • Select the Date Drop-down

  • Choose from a pre-set date range or choose a specific timeframe using the calendar option

  • Make sure to select ‘Apply’ to save your changes

From here, you also have the option to:

  • Select the Funnel Icon to temporarily filter your coverage by Content, Sources, Media Types, and Tags, simply make your selections and click 'Apply'.

  • Add an External Item to your chosen Mention Stream by selecting the Paper Icon

  • Generate a Mention Stream Report via the Graph Icon

  • Edit a Mention Stream via the Cogwheel Icon. Your options here will depend on whether you are reviewing a Custom Mention Stream or a Managed Brief.

TIP Live Notifications can be enabled from here regardless of Brief Type

You will notice that your Mentions Chart updates dynamically depending on the selected Mention Stream, Date Range, and Filters selected.

This allows you to compare coverage volumes to the equivalent prior timeframe. Keep in mind, the comparison is only available for coverage within the last 12 months.
