I. Overview
The Industry News feature will push industry-related popular articles every working day to help members keep up with industry trends. News are intelligently recommended based on the big data of WeChat Top Stories. Currently, some users are invited to experience this feature to help them track industry trends.
II. Description
1. A list of news will be pushed on the Messages page. When users click on a piece of industry news, they will see a news interface similar to Toutiao.
2. The order is comprehensively evaluated based on the quality, the release time, and the views in the company of the news.
3. Push time:
- On working days, articles are pushed from 8 am to 10 am to all super admins and identified key roles in the company (ordinary members can also be identified as key roles). Super admins can preview or delete the pushed articles. If a super admin deletes the articles, members will not receive the push that day, and other super admins cannot view the deletion records.
- For ordinary members, articles are pushed at 10 am every day. They can also click the Industry News app to view these articles before they are pushed.
III. Disable Industry News
1. Disable Industry News for all members
Super admins of the company can log in to the admin console on PC and go to “App Management”->“Apps”-> “Industry News” to disable this feature. Once this feature is disabled, all members of the company will no longer receive the news.
2. Disable Industry News for a single member
Enter the Industry News, click “…” in the upper-right corner, and disable the switch of “Receive Industry News”.
IV. Set preferences
Admins can go to “Workspace” -> “Industry News” -> “…” in the upper-right corner -> “Company News Preference” in the WeCom app to set preferences, and can search for Official Accounts or topics and add them as preferences. Then, relevant push messages based on the preferences will be received. Members can also suggest preferences to admins.
V. Set “Allow Comments”
Admins can go to “Workspace” -> “Industry News” -> “…” in the upper-right corner in the WeCom app to enable/disable “Allow Comments”. If it is disabled, admins and members cannot comment on the articles in Industry News or view previous comments.
VI. Block Articles in Industry News
Super admins can go to “Workspace” -> “Industry News” -> “…” in the upper-right corner -> “Manage News Content” in the WeCom app to view daily updates.
Inappropriate articles can be blocked. Once blocked, an article cannot be seen by all company members and cannot be unblocked. (A 5-minute delay may occur.)
Admins receive articles half an hour earlier every day to preview and manage the updates on the day.
VII. “Wow” Feature
When viewing articles in Industry News, members can tap the “Wow” button in the lower-right corner and their profile photos will be displayed below the corresponding articles.
Tap the button again, and the “Wow” will be canceled.
VIII. FAQs
1. Can I view articles previously pushed, or can I only view the new articles pushed each day?
The article list page is only updated once per day with the new content.
2. The admin cannot see the “Manage News Content” entry in the Industry News section.
“Manage News Content” has been moved and you can access it by tapping “..” -> “Manage” in an article. This functionality is being rolled out gradually, so some companies may need to tap “Manage” in an article, while others can access it in “Industry News”.
3. When I scroll to the bottom of Industry News, there is no “Tap to View More” option, and it shows “No more content”.
If a company has enabled “Personalized Recommendation”, the personalized articles are limited to around 60 pieces. So once you reach the bottom, it will show “No more content”.
4. Can admins delete comments left by company members on articles in Industry News?
Super administrators have permission to delete members’ comments in Industry News articles.
Operation method: Open the comments in the industry news article, press and hold the comment message to display the “Delete Comment” button. After clicking the “Delete Comment”, members can see a deletion reminder by clicking [the … icon in the upper right corner of Industry News -> Message Center].
