Overview

Projects in Dovetail store and organize all your data, including notes, highlights, tags, and insights. They support both individual projects and ongoing processes, allowing your team to transform raw information into valuable insights.

Depending on the type of data you have and how you work, a project represents a single study that captures data you want to work with for deeper analysis. For example, a project could contain:

  • Customer interviews, sales calls, meetings – each note is a single recording and transcript of a session.

  • Usability testing sessions – each note is a recording and transcript from a session.

  • Survey responses – each note is a completed survey from a participant.


Create a new project and configure magic automation

Managers and contributors can create a new project in a workspace. When creating a new project, you can decide how much AI you want working with your data. These are called Dovetail's magic features and include auto-detect language for transcription, magic summarize, and magic highlight.

  • To create a new project, navigate to the Projects page and press New → Project.

  • From there, customize how much magic works with your project data. This includes setting a language for transcription, summarizing high-level takeaways, and surfacing key quotes from your recordings.


Objects that live in projects

Projects contain 6 objects, all accessible via the sidebar:

  • Readme - This is the first thing new visitors will see when they open your project. It’s a great place to describe your project for others, set the background for your research, and provide additional context including goals, hypotheses or assumptions, research plan, timeline and project status.

  • Notes - Notes live within projects and house your data - text, images, audio, video, etc.

  • Highlights - Highlights live on notes and are used to surface quotes and sections of text that are meaningful.

  • Tags - Tags are used to categorize highlights into common themes.

  • Insights - Insights live within projects and are where you summarize findings from your project and across other projects.

  • Charts - Charts live within projects and help you visualize patterns surfaced in your highlights and tags.
