Slice like a pro: Adding past clips to your Slice account


Cooked to perfection and just out of the Slice oven comes a new 'Add' clip feature for Slice subscribers. That's right Slicers, you can now add news clips from the last 30 days into your Slice tracking folders... delicious!

OK Slicers, here's how to sink your teeth into it...

Creating a new tracking folder and adding past clips


1. Enter all tracking folder details Step 1 - 4
2. Go to Step 5 'Test, Add, Save & Start'.
3. Click 'Test and Add'
4. Clips from the last 30 days that match your tracking criteria will be presented to you in a table.
5. Review these clips to ensure your search string and media scoping options are picking up the right type of articles you're looking for. If the list contains irrelevant articles, review your search string and media options to prevent irrelevant clips being delivered into your account.
6. To add any of these clips, simply tick the check box next to the clip details.
7. Add as many clips as you like and then click 'Save'.
8. These clips will be added towards you package clip count and may take up to 30 minutes to be delivered into your account.
Tip: ensure you have email alerts for this tracking folder enabled - you'll then receive a message when these new clips arrive in your account!


Adding clips to an existing tracking folder


1. Go the tracking folder you'd like to add clips to.
2. You'll notice Step 5 is now called 'Test, Add, Save & Start'.
3. Click 'Test & Add'
4. If there are clips from the last 30 days that match your search, you'll see a list of articles presented by date and media type, with details of publisher/broadcaster.
5. You can reorder your list by simply clicking the table headings. By default clips are sorted by date.
6. Clips previously delivered into your account will have grey text and the check box for it will already be ticked(see fourth clip listed above). You can not add clips already received by your tracking folder.
7. To add clips, simply tick the check box next to the clip details.
8. Add as many clips as you like and then click 'Save'.
9. These clips will be added towards you package clip count and may take up to 30 minutes to be delivered into your account.
Tip 1: Ensure you have email alerts for this tracking folder enabled - you'll then receive a message when these new clips arrive in your account!
Tip 2: If you are adding a clip that was missed, review your search string and media scoping options to prevent the miss happening again.

We hope you enjoy this new addition to our pantry of Slice DIY ingredients. Eat up!
