Help: Your
Individual.com NewsPage Email and Internet Version
Individual.com is a free
customized news service offering up the best customized news, information and
services available. Available exclusively at Individual.com, it can be
accessed two ways:
Although
these two services can be used independently, most individuals use both
services in tandem. Derived
from your custom news settings established on the Individual.com Website,
your Individual.com NewsPage Email will appear in your email box every
morning containing the day's headlines and news relevant to your needs.
Because of time zone differences in the U.S., we offer two editions. One goes
out between 6 a.m. and 8 a.m. EST, the other between 11a.m. and 12 p.m. EST. Your
Individual.com NewsPage Email consists of your top 4 topics and links to your
other topics and companies. It can be accessed and used with or without
Internet access. When connected to the Internet, all the links on the Email
are "live," providing a much richer experience. In addition to your
NewsPage Email, you can read your news anytime from any Internet-enabled device
by logging into Individual.com. The
NewsPage is divided into columns with a top horizontal area that covers the
columns. This top horizontal area of the page is the masthead where we put
our logo, your name and some links. Your
Email is sent in plain HTML and looks much like the Internet version. Since
most people accessing the NewsPage Email are connected to the Internet, the
left column of the page (also called the left navigation column) consists of
all your topics (My Topics), the companies you are tracking (My Companies), a
list of all the Newdesks (whether they contain topic you have selected or
not), a search widget and a complete settings offering (My Settings). Think
of the left column as your personal table of contents and navigation tool. In
My Topics, for instance, the table of contents displays all your topic
choices in your order of priority. If
you are connected to the Internet, clicking on any My Topics or My Companies
option in left navigation column will bring up the day's news in the center
content area of the page. All of your information (e.g., headlines, briefs,
full-text articles, stock quotes, charts, etc.) will be displayed in this
main content area.
The
first 5 news briefs for each of your top 4 topics will be automatically
displayed in the center column of your NewsPage. You can click on any news
brief to see its full text. When your topics have more than 5 news briefs,
you can see the additional ones by clicking the link that appears after the
last news brief under the topic, provided you are connected to the Internet. If
you are connected to the Internet, you can click on any of your topics in the
left navigation column to see additional news briefs. In the center content
column you will see 20 news briefs for that topic with additional ones
available by clicking the link that appears after the last new brief on the
page. If you'd like to see the full article, simply click on the headline and
the story will appear in the same column. To view the day's news in another
topic, just click on another topic title in the My Topics box.
You
can have up to 100 topics in your profile. To avoid creating your own
information overload, though, we suggest having fewer than 100 in your
profile. Like maybe 10 to 20. To
learn what additional topics are available, click the My Topics link in the
left navigation column in the My Settings box. The My Settings list is the
last box on the column, so you may have to scroll down a bit to see it. Once
you find the topics you want, you can add them to your profile by clicking
the box next to the desired topic. The box should now have a check mark in
it. To remove a topic, click the corresponding box, which will have a check
in it. The check mark will disappear and the topic will be removed. To expand
a Newsdesk to see all of its topics, click on the "+" sign in front
of it. When you are done, click the Update Topics button and your My Topics
section on your Personal Homepage will be changed to reflect your
modifications. After
you click the Update Topics button, you will be asked to prioritize your
topics. This is very important as the top 4 Topics you specify will be used
to create your NewsPage. Use the buttons to order your topics and when done,
click the Update Priorities button. Your
NewsPage Email is meant to be as dynamic as you are, so feel free to change and
prioritize your Topics at any time.
If
you are connected to the Internet and would like to see news briefs for your
selected companies, click on the company's name in the My Companies box in
the left navigation column. In the center content column you will see up to
20 news briefs for that company with additional ones available by clicking
the link that appears after the last new brief on the page. If you'd like to
see the full article, simply click on the headline and the story will appear
in the same column. To view the day's news for another of your companies,
just click on another company name in the My Companies box.
You
can have up to 50 companies in your profile. To avoid creating your own
information overload, though, we suggest having fewer than 50 in your
profile. Like maybe 10 to 20. If
you are connected to the Internet, you can change this setting by clicking
the My Companies link in the left navigation column in the My Settings box.
The My Settings list is the last box on the column, so you may have to scroll
down a bit to see it. To add a company, you can type in the name of the
company or its trading symbol and click the Lookup button. The companies that
meet your lookup criteria will then appear on a list. You can review the list
and then click the company name that matches the company you are searching
for. The selected company will then become part of your list. To delete a
selected company, simply click the Delete link next to it. When you are all
done adding and deleting companies to your profile, click the Done button. After
you click the Done button, you will be asked to prioritize your companies.
Use the buttons to order your topics and when done, click the Done button.
