Helio product updates - 17th July

Procedures enhancements [EU Monitoring]

We have continued iteration on the Procedures feature to make them more intuitive, recent updates include:

  • Redesigned key players in procedures: Now when you view key players associated with a procedure, they are grouped by committee so it's clear which MEP belongs to which committee within a procedure. Each key player also shows their EU political group. The lead committee is now displayed as well as the associated roles of key players.

  • Stakeholder profiles in new tab: Now when you click on a stakeholder profile when viewing a procedure, the profile will open in a new tab so as not to disrupt your workflow.

  • Updated stakeholder procedure view: We have removed the tabs that navigated you away from stakeholder profiles when viewing an individuals associated procedures.

SRM enhancements [EU Monitoring]

We have also made enhancements to our SRM feature to help surface more relevant information and make outreach easier. These include:

  • Enhanced profile information: Now all committee and delegation memberships are visible on MEP profiles as well as the political group and contact details.

  • Separated MEP and Commissioner tables: We have separated out the previous stakeholder table into two separate tables. One specifically for MEPs and another for Commissioners and Commissioner staff so you can conduct more targeted searched for individuals.

  • Complex characters supporter in people search: We have made enhancements to stakeholder search - previously names with special characters had to be typed as an exact match, now, you can search using either the standard letter or special character and we’ll return results for both.

Additional Posts filters [EU Monitoring]

We have added two new filters to Posts, so you can now filter by Source and Type to help conduct more targeted searches.

Enhanced Civil Servants table [UK Monitoring]

We have made improvements to the Civil Servants table including adding a new Organisation column and added advanced AND/OR filtering across the different columns.

Rich text formatting [UK / EU Monitoring]

We have enhanced our built-in email tool to support rich text formatting so now when emailing you can change font and colour, hyperlink body copy, centre text and insert images throughout. We’ve also addressed formatting concerns.

Source links in emails [UK / EU Monitoring]

We have reintroduced source links into our monitoring emails so now you have the option of viewing the source in Finder or going to the direct source, helping you surface relevant information even quicker.

Sticky filters [UK / EU Monitoring]

We have introduced ‘sticky filters’ across Posts, Procedures and Events. This means that when you apply a filter to any of these pages, if you navigate away from the page upon your return the filters will remain.

Forefront Event landing page [Forefront]

We have updated the new Forefront Events page so now when you navigate to the Events page, it defaults to showing upcoming events.
