In the Rounds tab, the daily rounds / wiretaps made by the broadcaster are registered.
The round is an activity developed by the journalism production team and consists of calling institutions, in order to determine if there is relevant information / occurrences that could be the subject of the agenda.
When clicking on the ‘Round’ menu, the screen below will appear:
Date: by clicking on this option, a calendar is opened to select the date you want to register the round;
New: create new rounds;
More: area where institutions and contacts linked to institutions are registered. If any tour is selected, the options also appear: print, copy, delete and Send to ..
Time: shows the time the tour was created;
Rear: shows the title of the round;
Institution: displays which organization the broadcaster contacted (if selected);
Contact: displays who passed the information recorded in the round (if selected);
User: indicates the name of the user who registered the tour.
The first step to start recording the rounds is to select the date. It usually opens on the date of the day, but it is possible to write rounds for future dates.
To start recording rounds, click on the date and the calendar will open, as shown in the image below:
The next step is to click on the top “New” button. Then, the fields below will open with the following information:
Then enter the title of the boom and select the institution and contact. If you want to enter text, click on the ‘+’ icon, which is on the left side of the hour. See the completed fields:
Note: for the Institution and Contact fields to present options, it is necessary that the information has been previously registered. See ‘Registering Institutions and Contacts’.
In the example above, all information has been filled in, but only the boom is mandatory.
Users who have permissions will be able to see the content of the tour.
The information is automatically saved. If you want to change any data, just click on the field you want to edit and modify.
Note: To hide the text field for the round, just click on the ‘-’ on the left side of the checkbox.
On the left side of the round, there is a checkbox. Clicking on it means that the item is being selected. Therefore, in the ‘More’ menu, the following options will appear:
Print: when clicking on this option, the system opens a new tab with the information contained in the round (generates a pdf). You can select one or several rounds for printing
Copy: copy the contents of the tour to another day. For this to happen, it is necessary to click on the calendar icon and select the date. This option is widely used in cases where production was unable to ascertain all the necessary information that day, and the source asked him to call later, which would likely have more details. Therefore, it is possible to place for future dates.
After selecting the date, click on ‘Create’ to actually create a copy of the tour. As soon as this option is selected, the message “Copy of the round‘ boom title ’has been created” will appear. As the image below shows:

It will be possible to view the information in the ‘Suggested Papers’ area. Automatically, all information filled in the round will be exported. To edit, just double click and the file will be opened, allowing changes. For more information on this menu, see ‘Agenda Suggestions’.
