An Interaction is a communication regarding a new or ongoing Subject or interest area. Interactions are generally used by our clients wanting to log communications with Stakeholders, MP's, research bodies and regulators to name a few. The Type's dropdown can be changed by the support team to compliment your communications logging.
How to log Interactions
Interactions can be created in a few ways.
From the Quick Add option in the Vuelio Toolbar >
From a Contact profile >
Creating from this option will autofill the Contact and Organisation name within the new Interaction.
Or you can create a new Interaction from the main module >
From here, you can also search for previously created interactions using the filters on the left. Here we will click on the +Interaction button to create a new one >
The buttons at the very top indicate who gets to see the interaction >
