How to create a filter (Focus)
Create a new filter
‣ Log in into your account;
‣ Refresh the page to start loading all the latest reports;
‣ In the left sidebar go to My Focuses > click on the “+” (a pop-up window will appear):
‣ Fill in all the necessary fields:
-
- Title: Give your filter a name;
- Email Alerts: Decide when and if you want to receive email alerts for this filter;
- Location: You can choose between two options:
- By Country: you can select one or multiple countries;
- By Geofence: you can input an address or coordinates (in decimal format) and a radius (in km/miles) in order to receive alerts around that location);
- Categories: Select the topics you are interested in. A report might be categorised into one or multiple categories;
- Impact: Select the impact of the event on a scale from Low to Extreme. For an overview of the impact assessment see here: https://horizon-plus.hozint.com/impact-assessment-criteria;
- Report Type: Reports are categorised as either an Incident or an Information:
- Incidents: Kinetic events that caused (or had the potential to cause) casualties, damages or disruption;
- Information: Contextual information such as statements, declarations, analyses, statistical data, and announcements of future events;
- Spotter: Defines who has generated the report between:
- Human: Reports that are written by our analysts to ensure quality and accuracy;
- AI: Reports that are generated by our Artificial Intelligence software and are meant to provide real-time visibility on events that can be then corroborated by analysts;
- Min. Relevancy: This filter is only visible if the Spotter “AI” is selected. It filters the minimum level of relevancy of the AI-generated reports. Each AI report has a score that goes from a minimum of 40% to a maximum of 100%. By dragging the slider all to the left (40%) you will receive more reports but also more noise, while the more you drag the bar towards the 100% you will receive fewer reports but most likely more relevant;
- Timeframe: Select the timeframe you need depending on your use case:
- Publication: i.e. when Hozint published a report (e.g. past 30 mins, 1h, etc.). This filter is used for real-time monitoring;
- Event Date: This filter allows you to select a timeframe in the past or in the future. This filter is used to access historical data for risk analysis;
- Text (Keywords): Use this filter to search for reports matching specific keywords. You can use the following operators:
- Space = AND (e.g. fire gun > will return reports mentioning both fire and gun);
- OR = EITHER (e.g. fire OR gun > will return reports mentioning either fire or gun);
- – = NOT (e.g. fire -gun > will return reports mentioning fire but not gun);
- Display on startup: in case you want to set a filter as default (i.e. every time you log into the platform it will automatically load that filter), click on the check box “Load this focus on startup”;
‣ Click “Save“;
Your Focus (filter) is now available on the left sidebar under the menu My Focuses.
