Supporting Selection of News Topics

---

When users first set up their briefing page, they can customize the news topics displayed using the My News Topic view. This view allows the user to customize the following features:

Select topics from among the topics defined for them by the Administrator. These topics can be specific to their role. To do this, users select a news package in the News Package applet and then click the Predefined and Administrator Defined tab in the bottom applet. They query for a topic, and click Select Topic. The selected topic moves to the My Selected News Topic applet.
Create their own news topics. The user clicks the User-Defined tab, queries for a name or term for which they want regular news, and clicks Select Topic. The topic is moved to the My Selected News Topic applet.
Select the order in which the news topics are displayed, using the My Selected News Topic applet.
Select the number of days and number of headlines to display about the selected topic, using the My News Layout Settings applet.
Remove any topic from the displayed list, using the My Selected News Topics applet.

All news topics query the eContent database and return any results in the My News applet of the My Briefing page.
