What are Personal Profiles?
Personal Profiles are saved searches which allow you to monitor the media for items of interest to you and your organization. By using keywords and phrases to define topics you wish to follow, FPinfomart.ca Personal Profiles will clip relevant articles, blogs, and TV and radio clips every day from our complement of sources. Your Profiles are updated every time you re-load your Personal Profiles page. NOTE: If you do not subscribe to Broadcast Monitoring you will not retrieve TV or radio results.

Your Personal Profiles can be changed at any time. You can change the title, add or delete keywords, turn filters on and off, or change the sources that are searched. Simply open the Profile you wish to change, and edit it.

Viewing Personal Profiles
To view your Personal Profiles, click Personal Profiles on the left navigation menu. You will be presented with a summary of your Profiles for today. Note that only the first few hit for each Profile is shown, even if many hits are available that day. If you see a message such as "First 1 of 6 news hits shown" to the right of the Profile title, you have additional stories available to you. Click the title of the Profile to view more hits.

Once you have clicked the title of a Personal Profile, you have the opportunity to view stories from the most recent 14 days which meet those search criteria (only 10 days for broadcast results). Use the date navigator in the column to the right of an individual Profile's results page to select a different date.

You always have complete control over your Personal Profiles. You may edit or delete a Profile at any time, and updated results are displayed immediately! To edit the title, search terms, part of the story searched, or filters used in a Profile, open the Profile you wish to edit from the Results Summary screen.
