Source groups are a collection of Media Contacts, Site URLs, and/or Outlets that you can reference for use in the Include Source or Exclude Source Groups in a topic search.

When added to the Include Source field, your topic search will look for mentions only from the specified contacts and outlets included in the Source Group.

When added to the Exclude Source field, your topic search will never look for mentions from any of the specified contacts and outlets included in the Source Group.

You can create source groups by clicking on the Manage Sources button in the Include/Exclude Source field in a topic search.

You can also do this by clicking on the 3 stacked lines in the upper-right corner of the Agility screen > Account > Content Management > Source Groups

In the Manage Sources window, click on the plus sign in the Groups column to create and name a new Source Group.

In the Add Sources section, you can use the "Add Existing Sources" section to select and add one of the sources you created previously.

You can also use the “Create / Add New Sources” section to add a contact, URL, or outlet that had not been added to your account before.

Another way to add several new sources via the “Create / Add New Sources” field is to list all the outlets in a plain text editor (e.g. Notepad or TextEdit) with each entry followed by a comma. For example:

vogue.com,

marieclaire.com,

elle.com,

Copy the list of outlets, then paste them into the “Create / Add New Sources” field

When you’re done, click the CREATE button at the bottom of the screen. Your Source Group will now be selectable from either the Include Source or Exclude Source field in your topic search.
