Report Mule SupportReport Mule is designed to help automatically create polished reports from a list of URLs.
In broad strokes - once you have found the articles that you'd like to add to a report you input them into the program, make edits to the articles, and then generate the final report to share.
The program works by accessing various elements for each report. This typically includes the name of the publication, the publication logo, headline, publication date, author, summary, and full text. In addition, for each URL the program also determines the reach of the publication, the domain authority, and social sharing statistics from FB.
Some terminology:
Projects: For agencies, Report Mule accounts can have separate projects.
Report: A report is an individual collection of articles.
Categories: Within each report, you can create categories (For instance - you may want one for your company or client, a ‘Competitor’ category, and then an ‘Industry News’ category).
Output: You can choose several different ways to display your report once all of your information is in the program.
Index: A more compact list of all of the articles in your report, listed at the top. This can be followed by a more extensive section at the bottom.
Summary: A selection of the text from an article. You can choose to use the one that's automatically generated or highlight the selection of the text that's most relevant to you. If there's a mention of your client or company, you can edit the article to show that in the report.
Full Text: This is the complete article text.
Web layout: Our Web reports are optimized to be viewed in a web browser (on desktop or mobile devices). This lets us include logos and images and still provide a consistent experience to your end-user. You can send the link to your final report to anyone that you want and they can see it without needing to log in or have a Report Mule account.
Print layout: The Print reports can also be shared by sending a link, but you can also copy/paste them into the body of an email. The format of these reports in most cases translates well to email.
