Stakeholder profile

Read a person's biography and sources, collected X posts, recordings, roles, connections and declarations.

Open a person from the People tab, an organization member list or an Advisor citation.

The header shows the portrait, name and known role or affiliation. Back to directory restores the search and filters used to open the profile.

Profile sections

Use the navigation on the right. On a phone the section links also appear below the name. Each section has its own address, so a copied link opens the same view for another authorized user.

SectionContents
OverviewSummary, known facts, positions and available voting attendance.
BiographyCollected biographical sections and source material.
Posts on XCollected posts from the person's linked account, newest first. Load more posts adds earlier entries.
RecordingsUp to 100 recent recordings with identified speech, dates, speaking time and speech segment counts. Open a row for the video and transcript.
ConnectionsKnown links to people, institutions and documents.
Declarations and promisesAvailable financial disclosures and campaign promises. Filing dates switch declarations.

Declarations and promises appears in navigation only when that content is available. Posts and recordings require access to those features in the organization's package. An empty collection does not establish that the person has never posted or spoken publicly.

Biography and sources

Biographical sections can cover education, professional and political career, current mandate, public positions and other documented topics. Only sections with content are shown. Contents in the right panel provides shortcuts within the biography.

Sources: under a section links to the material it was based on. Show source material expands the collected fragments with their origins and available source links. Authored content retains its original language.

When no biography has been collected, the profile says so. Its available facts and activity can still be explored in the other sections.

Profile panel

The panel contains Actions, section navigation and Online presence, with links to the person's social accounts and website. Basic facts and voting statistics are in Overview. Facts appear only when their values are available; biography paragraphs are not presented as inferred job titles or education fields.

  1. Under Actions, select Track person.
