Apple News Channel Options

Apple News is one of several available distributed channel integrations. You have the option to either exclude or include Apple News page views and engaged time from top-line metrics in the Parse.ly Dashboard. This document outlines every place you will see Apple News data in the Parse.ly Dashboard, depending upon your chosen option.

• If you include Apple News, it will appear in all parts of your dashboard.
• If you exclude Apple News, it will show up only on the Channels page, the Apple News details page, and in the Channels breakdown on the post or page details. It will not show up in Overview or top-line metrics.

Including Apple News

Overview

Apple News data affects virtually everything on Overview, including Post Views, Minutes, Avg. Time, and New Posts (note that new posts are deduplicated, so if you have the same article on the website and on Apple News, that only equals one new post).
If you choose this option, you’ll likely have “a very good day” for 8 weeks until our 8-week rolling average can adjust to the new influx of Apple News real-time data.

Listing pages

Posts or Pages, Sections, Authors, Tags, and Campaigns all include Apple News traffic in the top graph, page views, avg time, total minutes, and new posts (new posts are deduplicated, so if you have the same article on the website and on Apple News, that only equals one new post).
