Editing your My News
Editing My News is simple. In order to initiate an edit, click on the edit icon next to the the My News title at the top of the News Feed. This will bring you to the Channel Editor for My News.
My News is made up of a series of Entity names and/or Text Search terms. The enties and/or terms can be managed using Boolean Logic to determine what should be displayed which can result in very precise results based on your specific needs.
My News is initially created using a series of high level topics like Major Corporate News and Public Companies along with a list of Public or Private companies. These are all contained in the first box of the editor on the left. We use your reponses for your regional focus to then filter the news using specific regions, creating a News Feed consisting of specific companies associated with specific regions.
Removing items from the definition is as simple as clicking on the X next to the Company or Topic. This will remove it from the channel. As you edit, you can recover something you deleted by clicking on the undo icon ( UNDO) at the top of the edit page. You can also redo the edit with the redo icon ( REDO).
There are two ways to enter Entities. You can use the Search Bar and directly search or you can click on the BROWSE button to bring up an Entity Selector page that will allow you to browse by Entity Type and/or hierarchy.
Search Bar
The most basic form of adding an Entity to a channel is to start typing into the Search Bar and selecting the entity desired. You can search for a specific Entity Type by clicking on the arrow next to the All label at the left of the Search Bar. This will allow you to get only results associated with the selected Entity Type.
Browse Entities
If you are not sure what the name (or Ticker Symbol) for an entity is, you can click on the BROWSE button to bring up the Entity Selector. From the selector, you can find and choose one or more entities to include in your channel.
Text Search
A Text Search can be included in a Channel filter by either selecting Query String from the search bar dropdown list or by beginning the search term with quote marks ("). Simple text searching is just words inside of quotation marks, but you can use the Simple Query String Syntax for more complicated text search terms.
Results
As you enter each Entity or Search Term, it will be resolved and added to your list. To add more entities, click on the ADD button. At any time, you can remove an entity or term by clicking on the X contained in the resolved name.
Complicated Channel Setup
More complicated channels can be set up using a series of lists that combine together to create a complex query and give you a very filtered News Feed. Boolean Logic is used to evaluate the series of entries to derive a set of articles as a result. Creating a second list to be used as an AND filter is as simple as clicking on the ADD button. This will add a new box which can contain a new list of Entities which will be added to the query.
When you are finished, just click on the My News menu item, or the Channel Name at the top of the page and you will be shown your new News Feed. Changes are saved as you make them.
