Understanding the status filter and contact badges

What Agility means by New, Updated with New Information, New Employment, and Longstanding Contact

Updated over a week ago

Within a set of search results, you will see several contacts that have badges on their profile previews, shown in the top right corner of each contact card.

By hovering over any badge, you will see an explanation of the criteria that generated it. You can also use the Filter function to isolate contacts based on their status.

The options and default definitions are listed below. You can also adjust the timeframe for New Contacts, New Information, and New Employment Contacts according to your preferences.


🔹 New Contact

Any contact added to the database within the last 30 days.


🔹 New Information

Any previously existing contact that has been updated in any way within the last 30 days.


🔹 New Employment Contact

Any previously existing contact that has been newly associated with an outlet in the last 30 days.

Note: These will also appear when using the New Information filter.


🔹 Longstanding Contact

Any contact that has been on Agility for five years.

Using this filter can help identify contacts with greater maturity, stability, and experience in their field of expertise.


🔹 Multiple Employment Contacts

Any contact that is employed by multiple outlets.


🔹 AI Reference Leader

Highlights media outlets identified as key reference sources for AI training on a given subject.

These badges indicate which outlets AI engines consider authoritative when answering queries.


Tip: Use these filters to quickly identify new, updated, or long-established contacts — helping you keep your lists accurate, timely, and relevant.
