Command Your Content Projects With Your New Personalized Dashboard

Effective content marketing requires a steady stream of high quality unique content and Constant Content exists to make sourcing that content as easy as possible. With that in mind, we’re happy to announce that you’ll now find a vastly improved dashboard when you login to your Constant Content account. We have listened to your feedback and developed an interface that allows you to easily track and get notifications, track and manage your content projects and teams of writers. What’s New? When you first visit your new Dashboard, you’ll notice an updated design and several new sections. The system will show you a personalized experience based on your past use of the platform. If you want to customize the sections you, simply click the gear icon in the top right and highlight the sections you want! My Orders By default, all clients will see the My Orders section, which shows you an overview of your purchases, credits and content for download. Custom Content Sections The new sections make it easier to manage your custom content requests and your teams of writers. Here’s a quick overview of these sections. Custom Content Request Status This lets you quickly view and track all of your requests based on which step they are on in the writing process (see below for the steps you can track). Each step has a field with a clickable number value showing you how many requests are in that stage. When you click on a value you will be taken to the My Requests page and shown your requests that are in that step. Clicking the gear icon in this section lets you pick the steps that are shown so you only have to see the ones that matter most to you. Open Requests – how many active requests you have (not expired or archived) Claimed Requests – how many of your requests have been claimed by a writer indicating work has started Unclaimed Requests – how many of your requests are yet to be claimed by a writer Requests With Articles – how many of your requests have articles; this includes articles that are ready to buy, have already been purchased and those in editorial review Requests Without Articles – how many requests have not had an article submitted by the writer Requests With Articles For Sale – how many requests have articles that are ready for you to purchase Content For Download – how many requests that have articles you’ve purchased and thus have files for you to download Active Revisions – how many open revision requests you have; clicking this takes you to the My Revisions page By keeping an eye on these fields you can quickly get a sense of the health and progress made on your requests. When you first submit requests you’ll want to pay attention to the Claimed and Unclaimed Requests to make sure your team has committed to writing all of your requests. As the deadline approaches, you’ll want to pay attention to the Requests With Articles and Requests Without Articles fields to get a sense of how much content you are waiting on. If you’re submitting requests in batches with different due dates, you can choose to enter a date range for Due Dates so that only requests within it are shown. This recalculates the fields for you to let you see that batch of requests’ progress. Team Progress This section lists out all the writers who are currently working on your requests, and gives you a progress update on each of them. By clicking the writer’s name, you’ll be taken to My Requests and shown just the requests that writer is working on. The My Writers section provides you with a quick overview of the writers you work with. This includes counts of how many writers are on your teams, how many teams you have and how many writers have applied to join your teams through casting calls. Content Calendar The Content Calendar maps out when you have request due, when you have scheduled posts to your WordPress site and any notes that you add to your calendar for you and your team to recall. Clicking on any individual date will list the events for the day, and provide a link to the requests due so you can check on them. Category Watch The category watch section lets you choose the category of articles in which you are most interested, and shows you the most recent articles. Keeping an eye on this helps you discover fresh new articles before anyone else. You can also visit the Edit My Account page and subscribe to Category Watch emails. You will then get an email whenever new articles are added to categories you follow. We hope you’ll find these new sections helpful as you source your content. Be sure to explore the different sections available to find which are most useful for you, and get in touch if we can help you get setup.
