Frequently Asked Questions
What is the benefit of Publisher?
The benefit is that you can easily share news information throughout the organization via the intranet or through e-mail. You construct your own search, and can change it as often as you would like. In addition, you can include the organization's own data, even pictures, with the Publisher results.
Can users access Publisher for the Intranet from any PC, or only from their organization's network?
Since Publisher uses IP authentication, users can access the Publisher results on the organization's intranet only through their organization's network. If users can access their organization's network from remote locations, then they can access Publisher intranet results after signing on to their intranet. Users can access Publisher results for the Public Web site anywhere that they have access to the organization's Public Web site.
Are there different sources for Publisher for the Intranet and Publisher for External Websites?
Yes. Our licensors must agree to allow their publications to appear on Public Web sites. Four thousand of our licensors have agreed to allow information from their publications to be published to Public Web sites, and additional licensors agree to external publication all the time. Publisher results for the intranet are pulled from our NEWS; ALLNEWS source and, optionally, Factiva.
How long are Publisher results archived?
You, the administrator, may choose to archive for 1 day, 7 days, 30 days, 60 days, or 90 days for Publisher for the Intranet, and may renew the archive for 90 days (for a total archive of 180 days). Publisher for External Websites may only be archived for 90 days.
