A detailed user guide for D&B Hoovers, a key business resource offering company profile and contact information, financial analysis documents, industry and analyst reports, news, and more.

News

D&B Hoovers provides links to business news articles on the web, from a range of sources including both small, industry-specific sites and larger outlets such as Yahoo! Finance. You can search for news stories from the Search bar at the top of the screen, or you can see a list of all news stories about a specific company from that company's profile page by clicking "News" in the menu on the left.

For larger companies, you will likely see hundreds or even thousands of news stories. If you're looking for news about a specific aspect of the company's operations, you can perform a keyword search of a company's news stories using the Search News box on the right. You can also click the Filter icon to filter the stories in other ways, including according to specific Business Topics such as corporate culture, bankruptcies, labor relations, marketing, and many others.

Triggers

This feature allows you to find "trigger" events for a company. These can be positive developments such as product launches or awards, or they may be negative developments such as product recalls or revenue decreases.

You can search for triggers by selecting the "Explore Triggers" Tile on the Desktop, or find triggers for a specific company by clicking "Triggers" in the left menu on a company's profile page.

Similar to the News tool, you can filter a company's trigger list by clicking the Filter icon, which lets you select specific trigger types from a drop-down list.

You also have the option of performing a Keyword Search or Conceptual Search.
