Custom Phrases drive the news articles that appear in the right hand column of your Newslever dashboard and the "Custom Phrases" section of your digest emails. These can be self-managed by Newslever administrators only.

Updating Custom Phrases

To update your custom phrases you will click the gear icon in the top right corner of your Newslever dashboard and then select "Manage Custom Phrases" from the dropdown. From there you can add or delete phrases. When you delete a phrase it will remove all articles associated from that phrase from your dashboard. If you add the phrase back, the articles will reappear.

If the news you're seeing is not relevant or seems too broad, you can filter your custom phrases using keywords.

Positive & Negative Keywords

Positive Keywords act as "and" statements. This means that if your custom phrase is "generative AI" but you only want articles related to healthcare you might add the positive keywords "healthcare" and "health care". Then the system would filter the articles so that each article has to contain "generative AI" but it also has to have "healthcare" or "health care" in the article to appear in your dashboard or digests.

Negative keywords work opposite of positive keywords and are used to filter certain topics/articles out of your dashboard. So if you're wanting news on "generative AI", but you're getting a lot of fintech news that isn't relevant to your company, you could add a negative keyword for "fintech". Then the system would filters the articles so that each article has to contain "generative AI", but if it says "fintech" in the article it would not show up in your dashboard or digests.

Once you apply positive or negative keywords, those are applied to the articles collected moving forward.
