    List view for sources

    The list view displays source posts row by row across the entire width of the content area. Each row corresponds to a news item from the sources activated in the menu bar. The news items are sorted in descending order of relevance. The most recent item is in the first row, and the relevance decreases with each row moving downwards. As in table columns, the following information and buttons are available for each source: a preview image or placeholder image, an icon of the source channel (TV, news agency, RSS feed, etc.), a text preview, relevance/publication date, profile picture/logo, author/account, and, on the far right, the button for creating a topic from the source item .

    → The topic editing window opens and the source data is entered.

    Source pop-up window

    The pop-up window contains two sections: the left, larger section displays the source in its original format. Since some content doesn't fit entirely within the window, the display can be scrolled. The right section displays metadata and allows you to open the article in a separate browser tab or close the pop-up window.

    Metadata

    In the right section of the pop-up window, you will see more detailed information about the source, slightly different depending on the type of source. Here is an example of a tweet:

    1: Source channel with logo

    2: Icon X to close the pop-up window

    3: Profile photo/logo, name and account ID

    4: Date and time of publication, number of retweets and number of likes

    5: Hashtags. For non-personalized sources, such as news agencies, the author's name is mentioned here.

    6: Text content

    7: Button to open the tweet in a new browser tab

    Open source in a new browser tab

    → The pop-up window will close and the source message will open in a new browser window.

    → The pop-up window will close.

    The footer in the source list view

    Set the number of hits per page

    The footer of the content area on the left shows how many hits your current menu bar setting results in – possibly in conjunction with the full-text search or other filters.

    • On the right side of the footer, select how many hits should be displayed in the content area at the same time.

    Go to another results page

    • Scroll forward or backward through the results pages by clicking on one of the arrows in the navigation field in the middle of the footer.
      Or select one of the pages directly.
