Capture

The ARchitect™ Smart Web Capture Toolbar makes it easy to capture and tag articles for inclusion into your ARchitect™ site.  Any web page can be captured at any time.  You don't even need to be logged into ARchitect™ at the time.

Here's how it works: Whenever you are browsing on the Internet and discover an important article or document, simply click the  capture button on the ARchitect™ Smart Web Capture Toolbar.  The "AR" capture button loads ARchitect™'s capture page and pre-fills all of the available information about the current web page.  You can then easily associate the captured web page with any of ARchitect™'s 4500+ analysts, assign keywords, define sentiment perception, and more.  Specifically:

  1. The title of the web page is captured as the title of the article.  (The title of every web page is displayed on the very first line of your browser window.)
  2. The URL is captured, along with the web page's domain as the source.
  3. The ARchitect™ Smart Web Capture Toolbar contains a drop-down to let you assign an article type automatically. 
  4. If you use your mouse to highlight any key section of text in the web page, that highlighted section of text will be captured automatically as the summary of the article.
Search

Simply enter a search term into the search box and press the "GO! Search" button, and ARchitect will search the database for matches. Extremely useful for looking up analyst names, marketing initiatives, etc. Search is context sensitive: highlight any text in a web page and press the search button and ARchitect will search for your highlighted text.

You may specify exactly which tables are searched once ARchitect has been contacted.
  4. I installed the ARchitect™ Smart Web Capture Toolbar, but now I can't see some of it? All Internet Explorer toolbars are adjustable when they are unlocked. To unlock the toolbars: From the IE Menu, click View | Toolbars | Lock the Toolbars . Now, each toolbar will have a "handle" on its left side. Use your mouse to drag the toolbar to a location that allows it to be seen. When you arrange the toolbars to your satisfaction, repeat the menu items above to re-lock the toolbars.
  5. How do I make the ARchitect™ Smart Web Capture Toolbar automatically populate the Summary section of the Capture page? Use your mouse to highlight any text on the web page to be captured. This highlighted section will be transferred into the Summary section.
  6. Why does everything I capture default to a type of "Article?" Set the Type drop down on the toolbar before you click the "AR" capture button.
  7. I clicked on the "AR" capture button, but nothing happened? There are two possible reasons: 1) The Toolbar loaded ARchitect™'s Capture window in a new browser, but that browser remained hidden behind your current browser. Click on the new browser's icon in your taskbar (it should be blinking) to bring the ARchitect capture window to the forefront. 2) Your pop-up blocker prevented the ARchitect™ Smart Web Capture Toolbar from launching a new window. See the next FAQ about pop-up blockers.
  8. What about my pop-up blocker? The toolbar, by default, loads its ARchitect™ capture window in that same browser window, lets you capture the article, and then returns you to that article upon completion.  There will be no popups in this case.   Advanced users can choose the option to open in a new window, which could cause pop-up blocking. In this case set your pop-up blocker to accept popups from *.arinsights.com .  If your popup blocker still blocks the new browser window, then you will need to disable your pop-up blocker while you are capturing content with the ARchitect™ Smart Web Capture Toolbar.
  9. How much system resource does the ARchitect™ Smart Web Capture Toolbar require? The Toolbar is very compact, using only 180KB of system memory. Upon installation, a small number of files are installed in your Program Files under an ARchitect™ subdirectory. The ARchitect™ Smart Web Capture Toolbar is self-updating.
  10. Is the ARchitect™ Smart Web Capture Toolbar safe? Yes. This is a tool strictly for our ARchitect clients to improve their productivity. It contains no ad-ware, spy-ware, or any other tracking mechanism. The toolbar may be uninstalled at any time.
