What's inside Arc XP

  1. Overview of Arc XP Distributors

    A distributor in Arc XP defines the source of content (articles, images, videos, or galleries), such as an organization, a third party (e.g., Associated Press), or an individual. Distributors are used to organize and search content, ensure compliance with licensing rules (via website restrictions), and standardize data across the system to prevent naming variations.

  2. Overview of Arc XP Content Recommendations API

    The Content Recommendations API is a personalization service that uses a tenant-isolated machine learning model (content and audience data are not shared across customers) to provide ranked content recommendations. It supports two primary use cases:

    1. User-level personalization: Returns a ranked list of content tailored to a specific user's interaction history (e.g., a "For You" module).
    2. Contextual personalization ("More like this"): Returns items similar to a specific anchor article, further personalized to the reader (e.g., end-of-article recirculation).

    Cold-start behavior is handled automatically: anonymous users receive popularity-weighted results, and new content is eligible for recommendations immediately based on metadata.

  3. Overview of Arc XP Migration Center

    Migration Center is a service designed to transfer and transform content from a previous CMS into Arc XP. It supports Extract, Transfer, Load (ETL) workflows through API endpoints and an application for managing request volume and reporting. Key capabilities include content ingestion, transformation of legacy content into ANS format, migration monitoring, and real-time updates via webhooks.

  5. Overview of Arc XP administration applications

    Arc XP administration is a suite of applications used to configure, manage, and define the Arc XP platform for an organization. It includes the following core tools:

    • Home: The main landing page and entry point for the platform.
    • Authors: Used to create, edit, and manage authors within Arc XP.
    • Canonical URLs: Used to create and prioritize rules for how Arc XP generates content URLs.
    • Developer Center: Used by administrators to create and control API access tokens for organization services.
    • Global Settings: Used to configure platform-wide settings.
    • Permissions: Used to control user access and capabilities across all Arc XP applications.
    • Site Service: Used to manage website sections, metadata, and website navigation.

  6. Overview of WebSked configuration options

    WebSked settings allow users to customize the application experience across three primary levels:

    1. User Profile: Configure personalized task notifications.
    2. Organization Groups: Manage workflows and assignments for team members with similar responsibilities.
    3. Organization Settings: Configure global system parameters including:
      • Task types and templates
      • Messaging integrations (Microsoft Teams and Slack)
      • Content distribution platforms
      • Workflow statuses
      • Content publishing windows

  7. Overview of Arc XP Group Package types

    Arc XP Subscriptions Retail provides four primary methods for managing group entitlements:

    • IP Entitlement: Grants location-based access to users connecting from specific IP addresses or CIDR blocks.
    • Email Domain Entitlement: Grants access to groups where all members share a specific email domain (e.g., @company.com).
    • Enterprise Groups: Designed for large organizations, managed via the developer_sales API endpoint.
    • Associate Subscriptions: Allows a primary subscriber to share their subscription with a limited number of friends, family, or colleagues (seat-based licenses).

  8. Overview of ANS Mapping in Migration Center

    ANS Maps allow developers to define transformation rules that map fields from a source format (such as a previous CMS or third-party provider) to the Arc XP ANS format. The process involves uploading a sample source file, defining transformation rules in an editor, and validating those rules against the sample. Once saved, the system generates a unique content map ID. This ID is then referenced in Migration Center API requests to automatically apply the transformation rules to incoming source content and store it in Arc XP.

  9. Overview of Arc XP Compass Personalization Engine

    Arc XP Compass is a personalization engine designed for publisher home pages and section fronts. It uses a combination of editorial guidance, reader signals, and AI composition to create adaptive discovery experiences. It operates as a layer on top of existing content stacks and CMSs, reading from the same content feed to personalize the experience without requiring reader accounts or explicit preferences.

  11. Overview of Promo Block types and sizes

    Promo Blocks are used to showcase a headline and other elements for a content item to encourage recirculation. They are categorized by their purpose and display size:

    Single Content Promotion:

    • Extra Large Promo
    • Large Promo
    • Medium Promo
    • Small Promo

    Manual Content Promotion:

    • Extra Large Manual Promo

  12. Overview of Arc XP Delivery application

    The Delivery application manages the final stage of content delivery through four primary functional areas:

    • Site Settings: Review website delivery and performance; allows for self-provisioning of sites without customer support.
    • Redirects: Create and manage 301 (permanent) and 302 (temporary) redirect rules using full URLs or regular expressions.
    • Cache Clear: Rapidly purge the cache to push updates to end users.
    • Dashboards: Monitor site performance and data usage to optimize content delivery.
