How do media lists work?

You can manage your media lists from the Settings area of your Cision Communications Cloud. Management options available in this area include:

Click the Person icon in the upper right hand side of your toolbar and select Settings.

Select My Lists from the Settings Panel.

A grid view of the all Media Lists existing in the system will appear.

The Media Lists are sorted by type: Contact, Outlet Lists, and Social (if you have our Social Influencer Discovery Module).

By default, the Media Lists are in alphabetical order. As you roll your mouse over the columns in this view, the upside-down triangle will appear so that you can sort the lists in ascending or descending order according to Owner, Created Date, Edited Date, Number of Contacts/Outlets.

The upside down triangle located next to each list will enable you to either (1) Go to the actual List itself (2) Rename the list or (3) Duplicate the List and move it to another data group (4)Delete the list.

The Go to List option will enable to you see the media contact/media outlet members of the particular list.

The Gear icon will enable you to choose which columns you would like to display in your view. Uncheck any columns that you want to exclude from the My Lists view.

Click the upside-down arrow by the Media List that you want to rename and select the Rename option.

A box will appear that will enable you to edit the name of the Media List.

Once you are finished editing the name, click Save.

You can duplicate a media list and then move the copy to another data group. Duplicating is beneficial if you have a built a list in one data group and want to use it in another data group without creating the same list from scratch. This process is also a helpful option if you built a list in the wrong data group and want to easily move it to the correct data group deleting the erroneously created list afterward if you wish.

NOTE: Once a list is duplicated, the original list and copy are maintained separately and are not connected in any way. Also, if you have administrator privileges in the Cision Communications Cloud, you can duplicate any list in the platform. If you have standard privileges, you can only duplicate media lists you have created yourself. Users with read-only privileges will not be able to duplicate lists. If you would list explore changing your user privileges, contact Support.

Click the upside-down arrow by the Media List that you want to duplicate.

Click Duplicate from the drop- down menu.

Enter a name for the duplicated list.

Next, enter the data group to which the duplicated list should be assigned. As you begin typing in the name of the data group, the platform will show you any data groups whose names match the entered title. You can assign the duplicated list to the same data group as the original as long as it has a different name.

Select the Duplicate button to finish the process. Remember that once a list is duplicated, the original list and copy are maintained separately and are not related in any way.

Click the upside-down arrow by the Media List that you want to delete.

Click Delete from the drop-down menu.

A pop-up confirmation will appear where you will need to confirm this action.

To delete more than one Media List at a time, use the bulk Delete button.

Use the top checkbox to select all of the Media Lists for deletion or use the individual checkboxes to the left of each Media List to select specific lists for deletion.

Click the Delete button.

A pop-up confirmation will appear where you will need to confirm this action.
