View and manage hits in the inbox

Newsmachines Inbox is the first thing a user sees after logging in. It collects news and hits from all search agents in a chronological flow.

Filter hits

By default, hits from all agents are displayed with the most recent at the top. The inbox offers several features to refine your search.

Choosing agents

• Use the menu on the left to see all your agents and agent groups.
• Click on a specific agent or agent group to filter the hits.
• Tip: Organize article hits efficiently by creating and managing agent groups under Agents > My groups.

Filtering by time period, country, language or media channel

1. Navigate to (Monitor > Inbox) to open the first filter menu.
2. Click on Filter to open the extended filter menu.

Available filters in the extended menu:

• Channels: Filter by media type (e.g. newspapers, social media, TV).
• Language: Select specific languages for filtering.
• Countries: Select the countries you want the sources to come from.
• Date: Select a specific time period by choosing a start and end date, then click Apply to confirm.

Menu buttons and their functions:

• Show all: Clear all filters and show all matches.
