Your connections map
Everything you brought in, in one place
The moment your LinkedIn connections land, they show up here β live, searchable, and yours to organise. This page walks through what you'll see.

Getting to your map
Your team map sits behind your own link
The team map lives at your workspaceβs own address, reached through a personal link rather than the main sign-in. Open the link and press Continue once, and the page keeps you signed in on that device. If you do not have a link yet, ask your workspace owner or admin: the Add your team panel on their own map creates your personal link.
What's on the page
Live counts and chips
At the top you'll see how big the whole team's map is, how many colleagues have sent theirs in, and where your networks overlap. Below that, chips let you filter your own list instantly β by top company, by sector, by seniority, or to financial services only. Click a chip again to clear it.
Click through to the detail
Click anyone in your list to open their detail β company, position, when you connected, email, phone, and a link to their LinkedIn profile where you have one.
Intelligence, when there is some to show
Where CIS has done some homework on a contact, their detail also carries an Intelligence panel underneath the usual company/position information: a score, a short read on what they likely need, an opening line to start the conversation with, and where the potential sits β each dated with when it was last checked. It only appears once CIS genuinely has something to say about that person. No panel just means nothing has been gathered yet, not that anything is wrong.
βWhy nowβ signal chips
A small orange chip on a person's row, or on a company chip, means something worth noticing has happened recently β a role change, a company they're at opening new roles, or similar. Open their detail and a short "Why now" list shows what and when, with a link to the source where there is one. It only ever covers your own contacts and the companies they're at β never a colleague's. You won't see any chips until CIS has actually detected something recent; no chip is never a bad sign, just quiet for now.
Ask in your own words
Above the list is a search bar for plain-English questions β "who do I know at big banks in London?" β rather than picking through filters by hand. It tells you whether it understood your question as a structured search or fell back to a simple keyword match, so you always know which kind of answer you're looking at. It only ever searches your own contacts β never a colleague's, even though you're both looking at the same combined map. That's not a limitation, it's the same consent your whole map runs on: your network is yours to search, and nobody else's contact becomes visible to you just because it would answer your question. If who you're after is well known across the team, ask a colleague directly β the search bar won't hand you their name and detail on your behalf.
Who to see at a company, and who can get you in
Ask "who should I talk to at Broadridge and who can get me in?" and the bar answers with people instead of a list of contacts: who to start with, why them (their role, what your research says, whether they are the kind of buyer you look for) and the warmest way in, such as a teammate who knows them, or who knows a colleague of theirs. A way in that is only a guess from working at the same firm is never presented as an introduction. People you are already speaking with are left out, and it says how many. A teammate is only named if they have chosen to share their contacts; otherwise you will see "a teammate".
One address, straight to your map
Follow your personal link, or go back to your workspace's plain web address once you're already signed in β either way lands you directly on your map, with nothing extra to click through. If your link has lapsed, you'll see a simple screen asking you to use your personal link again, never a broken or confusing page.
Your workspace name, and a way back
A small header at the top of the page shows your workspace's name and a "Back to CIS" link. If you also have a full CIS sign-in, that link takes you there; if you're only on your access link today, it's simply a reminder that your map is one part of a bigger system.
Mine, Team and Both, and searching through your team
On your map in the app, Mine shows the people you brought in, Team shows the people your teammates brought in and have chosen to share, and Both shows everyone. A teal ring means you and a teammate both know that person. A teammate who keeps their contacts private is never shown, never named, and never lights up on the map. The Find box highlights a person or company; the Search through my team box asks Reach who in your team can open a door at a company and highlights those people. Use the buttons under the map to zoom, and drag to move.
Your own lists
Build a list of anyone you want to come back to or work through separately β open a contact's detail and add them to a new or existing list. Lists are private to you; a colleague never sees them.
Connections to explore
A dedicated panel surfaces useful clusters across the team's combined map β senior decision-makers, a particular sector β plus a running total of what the team has unlocked so far. Click a tile and your own list filters straight to it.
Team network
A second tab alongside your map shows what your whole team's combined network has uncovered β people known to everyone independently, and the strongest existing paths into the firms you're targeting. It's the same privacy rule as everywhere else on this page: the aggregate story is shared, but nobody's individual contact list is ever exposed to a colleague. Tap anyone shown there and, where they're already in your own map, you can jump straight to their full detail.
Adding your team
If you're the workspace owner or admin, an "Add your team" panel appears further down the page. Type a colleague's name and work email and CIS creates their own personal link, then hands you a ready-written email to send β from your own inbox, in your own words, with any personal note you add merged in. Nobody else can invite on your behalf, and everyone else on the page never sees this panel at all. A colleague only ever sees their own map once they follow their link, exactly like you did. Each personal link is just that β personal: it locks to whoever opens it first, so forwarding it on to someone else will not work for them; if a colleague needs a fresh one, just add them again.
How the privacy rule works, in plain English
Your contacts, in full. A colleague's contribution, as totals unless they choose to be named.
Every row you can click into, every email address and phone number you can see, is a contact YOU brought in. By default a colleague's contribution shows up only as totals β how many contacts, how many companies β never a name, a title, or any way to identify who they are. A colleague can choose, in their own settings, to be named on the contacts they contribute; nobody can make that choice for them, and they can undo it at any time.
1
Your own map
Everything in your list, and everything the detail view shows, is your own contribution β in full.
2
Colleagues' contribution, as totals
The team strip and the Connections to explore panel show totals across everyone who has contributed β contacts on the map, companies covered β with no name attached unless that colleague has chosen to be named.

Hidden below a small team
Overlap and upload-by-upload detail only appear once at least three colleagues have contributed. Below that, CIS keeps the figures combined rather than showing something that could effectively identify one other person.
Nothing here changes the rest of the guide
Still nobody is contacted without agreement
The connections map only ever shows and organises what you've already brought in. It never sends a message, and it never shows your network to anyone else. What other members can ever see is set out in full under Your data & privacy.
