News Portals

Eqentia’s real-time news portals make it easy to scan the news and to dig deeply.
In this presentation, you’ll learn how to use some features of Eqentia portals.
As an example, we’ll be looking at one of our public portals, Future of News.

The ‘Viewing’ menu
The default view of a portal is All Headlines, which shows all articles, with most recent on top.
Clicking the button reveals other viewing options, such as...

• Top Stories by Social Attention (popularity)
• Top Stories by Relevancy (rather than recency)
To save time when jumping between these two views and the All Headlines view, you do not need to return to the drop-down menu. You can instead use the 3 buttons near the top of each page

Cascading refinements
You can apply more than one refinement.
Example:If you go to the connection page for “Jay Rosen”, and then click on the connection for “New York Times Company”) you will see all articles that relate to both connections.
![Page 14: Eqentia Portal Tour](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062405/5559fc44d8b42ad00a8b4ba9/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Canceling cascading refinements
If, for example, you want to change from viewing all articles related to Jay Rosen to viewing all articles referring to the New York Times Company, you must return to the portal front page and restart the refining process by selecting “New
York Times Company”.
