The Political Monitoring module contains all intelligence sent to you via your regular alerts but also includes our entire archive of political content regardless of search parameters, giving you full access to a rich library of previous political activity for ad-hoc searching and reporting.

See below for a written guide, or an overview in the video below:
​

In order to view Political content, firstly navigate to the module >

If you have already had a trial or have access to a dedicated Political researcher we may have already created a Saved Search for you. This will include all the filters of a specific search which will provide content pertinent to your organisation.

On the top left of the main screen, click 'Load' to view your saved searches >

Once a search has been loaded this will highlight the filters on the left which were previously selected and used for the search. It will populate new content based on the Date range on the top right >

By clicking the pink icon in the top left of the above image. This will show you all current filters >

You may amend the search by clicking the X next to a selected filter. Or to view and amend all filters, click the Filters button highlighted in the image above, you will then see all the filters available which we will cover in the next two sections.

PLEASE NOTE: It is also possible to create your own Saved Search by simply clicking 'Save As' on the top right once you have amended filters. Or if this is a new search just carried out, you can 'Save' and name your search for later use.

This option enables you to either use keywords in each of the search boxes, OR by using Boolean >

If you click 'Boolean Mode', this will then allow you to either type Boolean code yourself, or tweak a Boolean which has automatically transferred from the keywords search >
​

Using filters will allow you to specify from specific sets of feeds we are tracking. See below for a full list >

*Political Segment - These segments are sets of feeds we are tracking so we may source content. E.g. All Government or Parliament Feeds.

*Tag - Tags can be created within the Political Monitoring module and can be auto assigned to content feeding through. This option allows you to only see content with selected Tags.

Category - Like Tags, Categories can be added to content and then searched for using this filter.

*Contact - If you wish to search for a certain Author of content, you may use this option.

Country - This filter is UK by default. We only track content from UK for the time being.

*Feed - This allows you to choose a specific feed (this is where the content comes from)

*Parliamentary Participants - This enables the searching of specific Parliamentary Contacts which are involved in the content.

Received - Allows the search of a date range or specific dates.

Sentiment - This allows filtering of Toned content. NOTE: Sentiment is only applied manually.

Source Type - Filters the type of Source. NOTE: We only source from Online & Social currently.

NOTE: The filters above with a * before it has the ability to click the selected option again to EXCLUDE it from the search instead of including it. E.g. The circled cross in the image below means this feed is now excluded from the search results >

After selecting content with the tick boxes along the side or by selecting all via the the box at the very top, you will be able to bulk update or change the way the content is reported on. Click 'Update' and you have 3 options >

NB. You can also remove tags in this way.

After selecting content, the Link option allows you to link content to mailouts you have sent in the past AND/OR Subjects or Interactions that currently exist. This will then create a chart which allows you to monitor/attribute the work you have been doing vs how much content has been received, this is also similar to Charts and stats you will then be able to derive from the Subjects / Interactions modules.

This option allows you to Forward content, which will look like the Daily Alerts you can set up. But these can be sent ad-hoc. Select the content, and click 'Share' >

Type in the Subject line for the email. You will then have the ability to select users you wish to send the content to. Either select users (who have access to Vuelio) or you may free-type a new email address and select it. Then click 'Done' >

You may then either Send, or if you click Advanced Options, you'll have the ability to Copy the existing alert, or set up a different look, click each of the pink buttons for further custom options >

This option will allow you to delete content you have selected >

Clicking the Export button after selecting content allows you to download all data to a CSV file. You can select all with the checkbox at the very top of the coverage list, for amendments to the columns which will populate in the CSV file, please refer to the guide on 'View' above in this guide:

The default 'List View' allows you to see a snippet of text and a summary of all datapoints regarding the content. However, clicking this dropdown on the top right of the set of content allows you to change the view to a table view >

With this icon, you then have the ability to select the columns you wish to include within the table >

Each column will also have the ability to be sorted (just click the column title) and you can drag the column left or right, depending on where you want it. This will also be the order when you download the data to excel >

Content Title - This is the name of the title and or name of the report, paper etc. Clicking into the Title will allow you to view the Content Page.

Uploaded - The date and time the system sourced the material.

Edit - Allows you to edit the content.

Source Type - Confirms if the content originates from Online or Social feeds

Published - The original published date.

Institution - This is the group of sources the feed is from.

Source Feed - Confirms the name of the feed the content originates.

Snippet - Shows some of the text from the content, can also highlight the keywords searched.

Delete - Removes the Content for all users in your organisation.

Source Link - Links directly to the originating website.

Clicking the title of the content will navigate to the Content page below, which will provide you with text, confirmation of the feed used, and also further reading from the same publication. From here you can also see and edit Tags and connections to other modules, including Interactions, Subjects and Distributions >
​

Also from here you will have the option (as per the above image) to add political participants mentioned, to your Briefcase and therefore create a Group.
