  2. Address — address, city, state, country

  3. Additional Properties — employer, school, age, email, phone, tags, and other identifiers

  4. Verify Information — review the information entered so far

  5. Profiles — review or add the subject’s social profiles

  6. Summary — review the summary, choose a report profile, then Run Check or Submit to Analyst Assistant

You will:

  1. Open Add Subject

  2. Complete the wizard steps

  3. Submit for processing

  4. Understand how Agentic AI profile search finds social profiles

Prerequisites

  • Signed-in Ferretly user with permission to add subjects

  • Available credits (if you or an analyst will run a check)

  • At least the subject’s full name; more identifiers improve identity resolution (Subject Identifiers)

Step 2: Open Add Subject

  1. In the left navigation, click Add Subject. On smaller screens the control may appear as a person with plus icon.

Step 3: Name

  1. Enter the subject’s full name in the name field (required). It must be at least 3 characters.

  2. Optional: drag and drop a supported ID or resume onto the name field, or click the camera icon to upload from your device. You can also drop a social media profile link such as a personal LinkedIn URL (linkedin.com/in/…) on the name field to fill the subject. Company and school LinkedIn URLs are rejected under the name field.

  3. Ferretly analyzes supported identification documents and can autofill name, address, and related fields (for example from a driver’s license).

  4. Click Next. Ferretly creates the subject when you click Next after a name, and Next moves ahead while the subject saves.

Step 4: Address

Enter the subject’s home or known location:

  1. Complete address fields when you have them. An address you type is kept as typed.

  2. If you only know city and region, start typing in City. Select a suggestion to fill related fields.

  3. Confirm state/province and country as needed.

  4. Click Next. Next moves ahead while the subject saves.
