This tutorial presumes you already went through the "Getting Started" tutorial and uses the same project. So...let's begin!
Let's say one of your clients wants to see the situation (ranking) of all the URLs in the Google search engine. We have already included this search engine in the project.
We select Google (in the Search Engines panel) and the "xml editor" keyword (in the Keywords panel). Now let's go to [Reports]->[Current Rank Report] menu. This is one of the default templates provided by the application. The first time you click on this menu, a warning message box appears which tells you that you need to set the destination of the generated report. Press OK and a new dialog box will appear (Custom Report dialog box). This is where you should specify the destination. Check "Save Report to File". Browse to select the location where the report will be generated and choose a folder. Press the Close button to close the Custom Report dialog box. A new message box prompts you to save the report template. Click on OK to save it.
To generate the report, click on the [Reports]->[Selected Search Engine and Selected Keywords]->[Current Rank Report] menu from the menu bar. This will generate the report for Google and "xml editor" as we have previously selected.
Browse to the destination folder that you have previously selected and open the report to see the results.
Let's suppose we want to see the ranking of our URLs every day and not have to do the update manually every time. For this, we'll use the Scheduler feature of Advanced Web Ranking. Go to the Scheduler tab from Project Settings. Select the time and frequency at which this project will be updated. See the Project Settings - Scheduler for more details.
From now on, the application will start at the scheduled time and update our project.

The application doesn't have to be running at the scheduled time - it will be started automatically. |
What happens if our hard drive crashes, and we loose all the data? To avoid this situation, we should create a backup copy for our project via the [Backup] menu. Click here for a detailed explanation.
