What this covers

The HQ feed mixes six sources into one stream. This article is about the controls that sit on top of that stream once it is on your screen: the two filters that narrow what you see, the first-run cards that appear before you have any preferences set, and the row of actions on the right of every card that decide whether a card can leave your organization or stays locked inside your own team. That last part, the share rules, is the one worth reading closely: Verinode draws a hard line between public industry content and your network's own activity, and it is enforced by the platform, not by a setting you can turn off.

Where to find it

Open Feed from the HQ sidebar, or go directly to hq.verinode.ai/feed. The filter pills and the time-window dropdown sit in a bar above the card stream, always visible no matter which filter is active. The save and share actions sit in a column on the right edge of each card (desktop only; the row is hidden on narrow screens).

The four filter pills

All, Decisions, Content, and Events sit side by side above the stream. The active pill is filled; the rest are outlined. Clicking one jumps you straight back to the top of the stream so you are not left scrolled halfway into a list that just changed under you.

Each pill matches by the card's underlying type, not by which of the six sources produced it:

  • Decisions matches only network signal cards, the pattern-across-your-network findings covered in Network signal cards. Nothing else qualifies.
  • Content matches articles, videos, podcasts, and vendor news. This is where the industry and vendor news stream lives, and it is also where your own broadcast cards live: a broadcast is built on the same "Article" card type as an industry piece, so it rides in the Content filter alongside them, not off in its own bucket.
  • Events matches only upcoming industry events.
  • All shows everything, woven together in the order described in How the feed is ordered.

Note

Plan-activation, plan-outcome, consent-response, and franchisee plan-adoption cards do not have a pill of their own. They are built on a different card type from all four of the above, so Decisions, Content, and Events all filter them out. All is the only filter that shows them. If you switch to Decisions expecting to see "Plan activated: [name]" or a franchisee's adoption update, you will not find it there, only network signals show up on that pill.

A ?filter= URL parameter carries this into a link: hq.verinode.ai/feed?filter=decisions opens straight into Decisions. Valid values are all, decisions, content, and events; anything else falls back to All.

The time-window dropdown

To the right of the pills sits a dropdown with four options: Today, This week, 30 days, and All time. Each option shows a live count in parentheses, for example "30 days (12)", reflecting how many cards in your currently selected type filter fall inside that window. Switch from All to Decisions and the counts next to Today / This week / 30 days / All time all recompute to count decisions only.

30 days is the default every time you open the feed. It exists so the stream always has a fence around it rather than becoming an unbounded backlog; All time is the deliberate opt-in when you want the full history. Picking a window, like picking a pill, jumps you back to the top of the stream.

A ?tb= URL parameter carries the window into a link: hq.verinode.ai/feed?filter=decisions&tb=7d opens straight into Decisions, windowed to the last seven days. Valid values are today, 7d, 30d, and all; anything else falls back to 30 days. A third parameter, ?focus=<id>, scrolls straight to one specific card regardless of the filter and window in effect, which is how a link inside an email or a chat message can drop you directly on the card being referenced.

Tip

Filter and window combine. If a network signal you expect to see is missing, check both controls before assuming it did not fire: it may simply be older than your current time window, or you may be sitting on Content or Events instead of Decisions or All.

First visit: the welcome walkthrough and Tune your feed

Two cards can appear only once each, and they never stack. The four-slide Welcome to HQ walkthrough opens automatically the first time you ever sign in, before you land on the live stream, and is tracked server-side so it never reappears. Once that walkthrough has been seen (or was never due), and only if you have not set your feed preferences yet, a Tune your feed card appears as the second slide in the stream, right after the daily briefing card. It asks two quick questions, how much industry news and learning should ride alongside your network activity, and which content formats you actually want to see, then retires for good the moment you tap Save or Not now. Both of these are documented in full, slide by slide and question by question, in First visit, daily photo, and proverbs and Tuning your HQ feed. Neither card is a filter or a signal; they are the one-time orientation around the stream this article is about, and are mentioned here only so their place in the sequence is clear before you reach the day-to-day controls below.

Saving, playlisting, and reading-list actions

Every card carries a Save action: a bookmark icon in the action column. Tap it and the icon fills solid; tap it again to remove it. Two more actions appear only on the card types they make sense for:

  • Playlist, on video and podcast cards only.
  • Read list, on article and vendor-news cards only.

These three actions work the same way regardless of whether the card is your network's own activity or industry content: they are a private queue for you personally, not something you send to anyone else. They sit at the top of the action column ahead of every share option, and they are the one part of the column that never depends on the visibility rules in the next section, save, playlist, and read-list all queue a card for you no matter which type it is.

The share rules: public content vs. your network's own activity

This is the boundary the rest of the action column is built around. Every card in the feed is either public or internal, and that single flag decides which buttons appear below Save:

  • Public cards are industry-wide content, sourced from outside your network: articles, videos, podcasts, upcoming events, and vendor news. Nothing about your own franchisees rides on a public card. These get the full public-sharing row: Share, LinkedIn, Email, and SMS.
  • Internal cards are your network's own activity: network signal cards, your sent broadcasts, plan activations and outcomes, consent responses, and franchisee plan-adoption events. None of these ever get a public-sharing button. The only way to put an internal card in front of anyone is Poll, which stays inside your own organization.

The type badge on a card is not a reliable guide to which bucket it is in, and this is the detail worth remembering: a broadcast card is badged Article, the identical badge an industry article gets, because they share the same underlying card type. What tells them apart is the visibility flag underneath, set explicitly on every one of your network's own cards regardless of what type they otherwise look like. In practice, this means a broadcast card sits in your Content filter next to real industry articles, looks the same at a glance, and still only ever offers Save and Poll, never Share, LinkedIn, Email, or SMS. The four public buttons only render when the underlying flag says public; the platform enforces this server-side as well as in the card itself, so there is no client-side way to force a public link out of an internal item.

Heads up

This is the practical shape of the trust boundary running through all of HQ: your franchisees' aggregated activity, and anything you send to them, never becomes a publicly shareable link. If you want a wider audience to see a piece of network news, the honest path is to write it up separately as public content, not to try to route an internal card through Share.

The public row: Share, LinkedIn, Email, SMS

These four only appear on public cards (industry articles, videos, podcasts, events, and vendor news).

  • Share copies a link to your clipboard, or, on a device that supports it, opens your device's native share sheet with the card's title and link ready to send. The toast reads "Link copied" or, if the native sheet was used and completed, "Shared."
  • LinkedIn copies a suggested post to your clipboard (the card's title, its link, and the hashtags #restoration #IQ #Verinode @verinodeai) and opens LinkedIn's share dialog in a new window so you can paste it in. The toast reads "Post copied. Paste into LinkedIn."
  • Email opens your default mail client with the card's title as the subject and a short pre-filled body linking back to the piece. The toast reads "Opening email."
  • SMS opens your device's messaging app with the card's title and link pre-filled. The toast reads "Opening messages."

Each of these four generates its own shareable link behind the scenes; if you tap two different share buttons on the same card, both point back to the same live link rather than minting a fresh one every time.

Poll: sharing inside your own organization

Poll is the one action every card gets, public or internal, and it never leaves your organization. Tapping it opens Poll Your Team, a small modal for putting one question in front of the people on your team and gathering a quick read.

  1. 1Edit the question. Verinode drafts one automatically based on the card, for example "Should we act on: [card title]?" for a signal or "Worth discussing: [card title]?" for an article. Edit it however you like before sending.
  2. 2Choose who to send it to. Your team list loads underneath the question, everyone selected by default. Toggle individual names off, or use Select all / Deselect all at the top of the list. Anyone without an email or phone number on file is shown but cannot be selected.
  3. 3Send it. The button reads Send to N person or Send to N people, matching however many reachable teammates are currently selected, and reads "Sending..." while the poll goes out.

If your team list comes up empty, the modal reads "No team members found," with a note to add team members before you can poll them. Add teammates from Settings, Team & Access.

Empty states

If nothing in the current filter and time window has anything to show, a lighter panel reads: "No items match this filter." Scroll to the very end of any filter's stream and you reach the standing closing card:

All caught up Verinode IQ is continuously analyzing your data and scanning industry sources. New decisions, insights, and updates will appear here as they surface. Check back soon. Your next briefing is building.

This card is shared with Verinode IQ, which is why its copy names IQ specifically; for HQ the meaning is the same, your network is being watched continuously and the stream keeps building in the background.

Best-practice example

Say you land on the feed and see a compliance signal pinned at the top under All. You switch to Decisions to see only network signals and confirm it is the one item that needs attention this week. Satisfied it is being handled by your compliance lead, you tap Poll, edit the question to "Are we tracking this compliance gap already?", and send it to your two regional leads. Separately, an industry article on a new IICRC standard catches your eye under Content; you tap Save to come back to it later, then tap LinkedIn to share it publicly, since it is industry content with nothing of your network's in it. The signal never left your organization; the article went out publicly, exactly as each type is designed to behave.
