This window allows the user to see all new advertising Accounts for the default media outlet, or any panel or market, which have been added during a specified date and time range.
TIP: This window is an excellent tool to rapidly spot 'new business' on your Panel media outlets or your markets. The size of the search area - the time frame and the size of the market or markets - can affect search speeds.

This field displays your selected default media outlet, one of your panels, or your market (where your license covers multiple markets). This determines the area in which you will search for Accounts . To change your selection, pick a different option in the Media Selection pane. Note that the choice you make has an effect on the speed of your search. The greater the search area, the slower the search speed.
This pane is accessed by clicking the drop-down arrow to the right of the Media Selection field.
It displays and allows you to select your default Media Outlet, any of your panels, or any of your market(s). The current selection is highlighted in this pane. The choice you make here can be further refined when the search results are displayed.
In this pane, you can specify the type of Media to search through by checking the Radio, Internet, Newspapers , Television, Cable/Pay TV and Internet checkboxes. Your selection is highlighted in the Status field.
NOTE: When Network-Local subscribers select the Television or Cable options, the TV/Cable filter option is activated; otherwise the Radio/Newspaper/Internet Account filter is displayed. See the notes on Break Filter types in the Ad Analysis topic.

In the two date range fields (Start and End Dates) in the left hand panel, you specify a date range to search in. Click the arrow at right in either date field to access a calendar control, which lets you specify a date for the field. A date range in this window is always 24-hours. See also the Date Range fields notes.
NOTE: The default date range is one day - today's date. But you can enter any start date in the past, up to the end date, and of course select a date from the date range preset radio buttons.
TIP: Depending on the time frame, it can take some time to see the results screen. The bigger the time frame, the longer it will take to retrieve data.
Use to specify preset date ranges. The first three automatically fill in dates in the Start and End Dates fields.

Calls for a continuous period starting from the date and time of the last login, and running to today.
Calls for a continuous period from a selected start date, running to a selected end date, both with a calendar control.
The New Since calendar control allows you to change the start date of when the Market begins monitoring for new accounts. So instead of comparing the week specified in the Date Range field to all the data ever monitored you can choose to set the monitoring date to any date. This will allow you to find all the accounts that advertised in the specified Date Range that have not advertised since the date specified for New Since.
This works identically in this window as in the Ad Analysis window. See the notes here.
