Filters

Some keywords might be very general. Then filters become very handy. Each keyword can be filtered with one or many filters. It is very easy to enter the filters if you are the project administrator. Filters do not affect any data and can therefor be manipulated as much as needed.

Exclusions

The ability to exclude sources from the project will always be needed. It is very easy with Silverbakk Briefing Room. Hit the block source button in the action area of the source you want to exclude. Another way to use exclusions is if you want to exclude certain words or phrases. Use the exclusion field in the keyword administration to accomplish the exclusion of words or phrases. It is used on a per keyword basis.

All exclusions are on a project (block source) or keyword (exclusion in project administration) basis. It will not affect any other keyword or project.
