A people group search displays everyone in the selected group with available connection paths. This helps you compare people, companies, connector strength, and reachability in one place.
Use this workflow when you want to answer questions such as:
- Who in this group is most reachable?
- Which people have the strongest warm paths?
- Where do we have insider or verified connections?
- Who can connect me to multiple people in the group?
- Which people and paths should I prioritize for introductions?
Instead of searching for each person separately, Connections Vieu brings together the people in your selected group, the connectors who can help you reach them, and any direct, indirect, or insider paths available.
This article walks you through the complete process of finding and acting on connection paths across a people group. You can follow each step or jump directly to the section you need:
- Find Connections Across a People Group
- Understand Your Results in Connections Vieu
- Explore and Act on Connection Paths
- Narrow Down the Available Paths with Filters
- Customize the Table with Edit Columns
- Ask Connector Agent for Help
1. How to find connections across a people group

Step 2: In the search bar, select People Groups
Step 3: Find and select the people group you uploaded.

The Connections Vieu table displays people in the selected group with available connection paths. Use this view to compare group members and identify who is most relevant and reachable.
Quickly understand your Connections Vieu
| Column | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Target | Each person in the selected group with an available connection path |
| Company | The target’s current company |
| Connectors | People who can help you reach each target |
| Actions | Options for viewing the complete paths to each target |
3. Take action – See Paths
Click See paths under Actions beside a target to open the detailed path view.
Each path shows how the connection moves from your network to that person, including the introducer and any intermediaries involved.
From each path, you can:
- Shortlist it for later
- Request introduction when you are ready to act
- Explain connection to understand the relationships behind the path
Repeat this for different group members to compare the available routes.
4. Narrow down the available paths – Filters
Because a people group may contain several people across multiple companies, use the filters in the right panel to narrow the results to the targets and connection paths most relevant to you.
Here’s how you can use the filters:
- Focus on people at specific Target Accounts
- Prioritize paths by Connection strength
- Find people by Title
- Narrow results by Buyer persona alignment or Seniority
- Turn indirect paths on or off
- Include or exclude insider paths
- Require verified connectors
- Limit results to connectors who are current employees
- Filter by Relationship Type
- Filter by the introducer’s relationship with the target
- Search for paths from a particular person or company
- Look for routes through a specific person or company
As you apply filters, the list updates in real time and the number of available people and paths reduces accordingly.
5. Customize the table – Edit Columns
Click Edit columns in the upper-right corner of the table to choose which information appears in your view.
You can add columns such as:
- Alignment
- Vieu Score
- Seniority
Use these columns to compare people and connection opportunities across the group.
6. Use Connector Agent to find the best way in
Click Connector Agent in the upper-right corner and ask questions about the selected people group.
For example:
- Who is the most reachable person in this group?
- Which people have the strongest connection paths?
- Show me verified paths to people in this group.
- Are there any insider paths available?
- Who should I prioritize for introductions?
Once you find a credible route, click See paths and shortlist it or request an introduction. Vieu’s Intro Agent will take care of the next steps and keep the request moving.
Once requested, the introduction is automatically tracked in Introductions Vieu, so it stays visible and easy to follow up on.
