Hey Ellen,
They are about 7 down on this list...

We also use the start and end date of yesterday quite a bit.

It may be better as an asset than a calendar event. For a notice asset it may be handy to have a block that would display a map. Especially for Road Closings, Construction Delays... maybe even wrecks... that would be nice to add to a traffic page.

I may need to see if there is anything like that for Texas. If nothing else it might have an RSS for the time being.

I can see the issue with the business being able to trigger it too often on the email/sms... It would also cause issues if the blast had the wrong information even if a time delay was in place for sending out blasts/sms. You would almost want there to be a delay on how often they could trigger a blast and the blast be as generic as possible since a time could have been accidentally input incorrectly.

I would think the ability to save that business to your profile for quick look up would be handy. The ability to quickly glance and see...  is daycare, school and work open/delayed without having to individually look them up would be a nice tool.

We are currently doing that with our galleries. The issue I ran into was trying to set up a topic page for a local topic. We added plenty of photos, articles and other assets but when it was displayed the articles section went on and on and on and on and on.  We've since stopped using any collection for setting up a topic due to issues with this layout and just custom build every topic page.

Just a thought but it might be a good thing to add to the real estate as well...
A real estate company may want to target "Single family houses for sell"
A construction company may want to target "land for sell"
A rental agency may want to target "condos & townhouses for rent"

Hi Christine,
I like the idea of adding it to the template. At a couple of thousand vehicles it would take me a while to manually add it.

It could be that I have not had enough coffee this morning but can you give me an example of the search?

Jason

Good morning Christine,
That sounds great to me.

"- Email Reach / SMS integration, so users can "subscribe" to or follow certain types of events / places to get notifications via e-mail or SMS text."

Are you talking about an automated system that would send the subscription out via a trigger or editorial would still need to remember to go in and send out the email reach?

We've started setting this up with our different feeds and sister paper. Good job!

Patrick, If I remember correctly it was based on an average of impressions that page had received in the past.  example...    Home Page has an average of 70k for the last 3 months. You currently have 63k impressions (based on limits) scheduled it would give you a notices you have 7k left... I think a time or two we got a red bar graph or red message because we 'over-scheduled'  

But I remember it being slot based... but after 2 years my memory may be a little faulty.
