Content Library Overview

Prev Next

The Content Library is your centralized repository for all the documents that power GovEagle's AI responses. Store past performance narratives, capability statements, resumes, corporate documents, and other proposal materials.

How the Content Library works

GovEagle uses your Content Library to provide accurate, company-specific responses. When you ask questions in chat, GovEagle searches through your uploaded documents to find relevant information to incorporate into its answers.

This means you can ask questions like:

  • "What past performance do we have with NASA?"

  • "Summarize our cybersecurity qualifications"

  • "What projects has [employee name] worked on?"

GovEagle will search your Content Library and provide answers based on your documents.

Adding to the Content Library

There are three primary ways to add to the Content Library:

  1. Synchronization from an external source, such as Sharepoint. See Connecting SharePoint & Integrations.

  2. Uploading to the Content Library page in the web application.

  3. Uploading an item through a chat. Any file uploaded through chat is placed in your personal, private folder.

Your private folder

All items that you upload to a chat message will be placed in your default private folder. Your default private folder starts with your name and ends with “private library” e.g. “Nathan’s private library”. Files and folders within this private folder are only visible to you.

Private folders are yellow while public folders are blue.

Tags

Tags are labels you can apply to documents to make them easier to find and reference. Unlike folders, which organize documents in a single hierarchical location, tags allow you to group related documents across different folders based on shared characteristics.

Why Use Tags?

The most effective use of tags is to capture information about your documents that isn't immediately obvious from the document content itself. While GovEagle can search the text within your documents to find relevant content, tags help you filter and organize documents based on metadata that may not appear in the document.

What to Tag

Consider using tags to capture:

Win/Loss Status

  • Tag proposals as "Won" or "Lost" to help the AI prioritize successful approaches

  • This information typically isn't stated within the proposal itself but is valuable context for reuse

Your Role on the Contract

  • Tag with "Prime" when your organization was the prime contractor

  • Tag with "Subcontractor" when you served as a sub

  • Tag with the percentage of work if relevant (e.g., "Prime-60%", "Sub-40%")

  • This helps ensure past performance is used appropriately

Teaming Partner Content

  • Tag documents from teaming partners with their company name

  • Add a "Teaming Partner" tag to distinguish partner content from your own

  • This prevents the AI from presenting partner capabilities as your own

Customer/Agency

  • Tag with specific agencies (e.g., "NASA", "DoD", "VA")

  • Tag with broader customer categories (e.g., "Federal Civilian", "Defense")

  • Useful when the agency name might not be prominently featured in the content

Domain or Industry

  • Tag with relevant domains (e.g., "Healthcare", "Financial Services", "Energy")

  • Tag with specific programs or initiatives when applicable

Capability or Service Area

  • Tag with capabilities (e.g., "Cybersecurity", "Cloud Migration", "AI/ML")

  • Especially useful when documents cover multiple capabilities

Contract Type

  • Tag with contract vehicles (e.g., "IDIQ", "GSA Schedule", "8(a)")

  • Tag with contract types (e.g., "CPFF", "FFP", "T&M")

Classification or Clearance Level

  • Tag documents with required clearance levels

  • Tag with classification markings if applicable

Time Period

  • Tag with fiscal year or date ranges for time-sensitive content

  • Useful for tracking when certain capabilities or certifications were current

Tagging Best Practices

Be Consistent Establish a standard set of tags across your organization. If one user tags proposals as "Won" and another as "Award", it reduces the effectiveness of the tagging system.

Use Multiple Tags Don't limit yourself to one tag per document. A single proposal might be tagged with: "Won", "Prime", "NASA", "Cloud Services", "CPFF", and "FY2024".

Keep Tags Simple Use clear, concise tag names that everyone will understand. Avoid overly complex or ambiguous tags.

Document Your Tagging Scheme Create a reference guide for your organization explaining which tags to use and when. This ensures consistency as your team grows.

Review and Update Periodically review your tags to remove duplicates (e.g., "Cybersecurity" vs. "Cyber Security") and retire obsolete tags.

Focus on Search Value Before creating a new tag, ask: "Would I want to filter or search by this attribute?" If the answer is no, it may not need a tag.

How to Tag Documents

Note

For information on how to sync existing tags from SharePoint, please see Syncing SharePoint Metadata Tags to GovEagle.

Creating a Tag

To create a new tag, navigate to the Content Library page in the web application. In the left sidebar under "GovEagle Tags," click + Add tag. Enter a name for your tag and it will appear in the tag list.

Applying Tags to Documents

To apply tags to a document, select one or more documents using the checkboxes to the left of each document name. A toolbar will appear at the bottom of the screen — click Manage Tags to add or remove tags on the selected documents.

You can select multiple documents at once using the Select All option in the toolbar to tag them in bulk.

Using Tags in Chat

When you add a tag as a reference in a chat message using the @ symbol, GovEagle will focus on all documents with that tag when formulating a response.

Examples:

  • "@Won proposals - What win themes were most effective in our recent awards?"

  • "@Prime @NASA - What past performance can we reference for this NASA opportunity?"

  • "@Cybersecurity - Summarize our cybersecurity qualifications"

This allows you to quickly narrow GovEagle's search to exactly the subset of documents you want to reference.

Tag Permissions

Note: While only Admins and Content Managers can create, edit, delete, and assign tags, all users can reference tagged items in chat.

If you need a new tag created or want to suggest changes to the tagging scheme, contact your Content Manager or Admin.

Tags vs. Folders

Use folders when:

  • Documents share a hierarchical relationship

  • Your team needs to browse related documents

  • You want to mirror an organizational structure

Use tags when:

  • Documents are related but live in different folders

  • You need to filter by multiple attributes simultaneously

  • You want to capture metadata not obvious from document content

Many documents will benefit from both folder organization and multiple tags.

Referencing Content Library items in chat

By default, GovEagle searches your Content Library to find the most relevant documents when responding to you in chat. However, you can tell GovEagle to focus on specific files, folders, or tags when answering your questions.
