Creating a Signal from Collected Content

Once you have collected a document (Post or Dossier) into an Insight, you can immediately transform it into a Signal. This creates a specific intelligence point that is linked to the original document.

Accessing the Create Option

1. Open Collection Dialog: Open the "Collect / Share" dialog for the document you wish to process. (You can do this from the search results or the post detail view).

2. Locate the Button: In the list of Insights where the document is collected, you will see a Create Signal button next to the Insight name.

3. Click: Click the button to open the creation form.

Reviewing the Signal Form

The system streamlines the process by auto-filling the data:

• Description: The document title and summary (if available) are automatically pasted into the description field.

• References: The original document is automatically added to the "References" list so the link to the source is never lost.

• Editing: You are free to modify the text, add tags, or attach extra files.

Checking for Duplicates (Similar Signals)

Before you save, the system performs a smart check to prevent data clutter.

• Notification: If a colleague has already created a signal with similar content, a "Similar Signals" panel will appear on the right side.

• Decision:

  • Update: You can click Update this Signal to add your information to the existing entry, avoiding duplication.

  • Create New: If you prefer to keep them separate, you can ignore the suggestion and click Create to generate a new, standalone signal.
