Feature overview

newsroom can be customized to the needs and structures of your company: Define your communication formats and channels as activity types. Create your units, countries and markets. Enter your event types.

Create communication activities for each topic and assign them to events. Define responsible persons and define the scope (units, markets).

The calendar is the heart of newsroom. Here you can display activities, tasks and events in the weekly or two-week overview. Edit entries directly in the calendar. Filter the view according to your individual needs.

In the “Getting started” cockpit you will find all functions essential for your communication work – with brief explanations and assistance. Create further, individual cockpits as required.

Add custom widgets to your dashboards: keep an overview of your planning and tasks, create quick reports, integrate your personal news feed and much more.

Keep an eye on your to-dos. Use newsroom to assign tasks to yourself or your teammates for activities and events.

Define reusable, customized standard activity sets and thus easily plan several activities per topic.

Create confidential topics, activities and events in newsroom. Only “owners” or “co-owners” can see and edit them. Assign code names for events and hide confidential activities with the “stealth mode”.

“newsroom” has a powerful filter system in all views. Filter by topics, activities, tasks, units, markets, tags, etc. Use the free text search or terms from the respective selection lists.

In “newsroom” you will receive notifications about all new information relevant to you. You can also receive certain notifications by email.

Organize and structure topics, activities and events by assigning relevant tags. Tags are specified by you in the tool and can be suggested by users.

Evaluate the information entered in newsroom using the “dashboard widget” or in the calendar view. Alternatively, integrate information from your media analysis service provider into newsroom via an interface.

If necessary, export topics, activities and events in a practical Excel format.

Use the practical single sign-on functionality for on-premises hosting of newsroom.

Import activities and events planned in newsroom into your personal Outlook calendar.

Create professional communication content with individual templates, such as Internet and intranet posts, social media posts, press releases or speeches, directly in the newsroom. Coordinate these within the tool in simple and clearly structured process steps. Have finished content translated into any number of languages directly in the tool.

Contents can be edited and coordinated in both German and English. It is also possible to order translations into any number of languages directly within the tool.

Set a status during production, e.g. “in process”. Enter status information individually tailored to your processes in newsroom.

Invite any number of experts without additional user licenses via e-mail to review and edit content. Changes made by the experts are saved as a separate version.

A translation can be ordered directly within the tool. The translator provides the completed translation as a separate language version in the tool. This language version can be further edited as required (a new version is automatically created).

Video and audio files are attached via links, e.g. via a cloud storage service. In addition, any number of files can be attached to a activity or topic using the upload function.

Use the full power of topic and appointment planning: as a dpa customer, have the dates of “dpa agenda” displayed in the calendar within newsroom so that you can align your communication activities with the dates that are relevant to you.

Publish content created and coordinated in newsroom directly via the integrated interface on the social media platform Twitter.

Plan social media activities in newsroom and transfer them to the social media management tool Swat.io via an integrated interface.

Plan internet or intranet articles for WordPress pages and transfer them to the content management system via the integrated interface – or publish them directly.
