01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

A teammate selects a question in their private or team-approved notes

“Find information relevant to the selected question, prepare a concise answer with its source context, and let the teammate review it before adding it to a shared reference.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

5 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps people find project information while writing notes, without searching through records manually for every question.

  1. Select a clear question from a note

    State what project information is needed and include any relevant team, project, or time period.

  2. Check access to the project information

    Retrieve only records and fields the teammate is permitted to view.

  3. Find relevant project records

    Look for information that answers the question and keep its source details connected to the result.

  4. Prepare a concise, source-aware answer

    Summarize the relevant information in plain language and identify when the records do not provide a clear answer.

  5. Review before keeping or sharing the answer

    Have the teammate compare the answer with its source and approve it before adding it to shared notes or using it as project guidance.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

A source-aware answer returned to the working note for the teammate to check and keep or revise.

The handoff

A source-aware answer returned to the working note for the teammate to check and keep or revise.

Keep in mind

A response can be out of date, incomplete, or based on records outside the requester’s access. Limit retrieval to approved data and fields, retain useful source references, and ask the teammate to verify the answer before sharing it or treating it as current project guidance.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Choose approved project data

Select the project records, tables, and fields that are appropriate for note-based questions.

Set access and privacy boundaries

Make sure each teammate can retrieve only information they are authorized to see and keep private details out of shared notes.

Choose how answers return to notes

Decide whether an answer is inserted as a draft or shown for review before the teammate adds it.

Assign project information owners

Identify who can confirm current status, resolve ambiguous results, and approve shared project guidance.

Test missing and restricted information

Try questions with no match, conflicting records, and restricted details; ensure uncertainty is clear and private information is not returned.
