Searching work in plain language
What it is
On the work search page, you can describe what you are looking for in your own words, for example "my open items in the Onboarding project due this month". Akollo turns the question into ordinary search filters and runs the normal search with your own permissions. You only ever see items you could already find yourself.
How to use it
Open the search
Open Search under My work. Or press ⌘K (Ctrl K), type your question and choose Ask.
Ask your question
Write the question in the Ask in plain language box and choose Find.
Check the filters
The results appear with the filters your question became, shown as chips, for example "Project: ONB" or "Status: to do".
Refine the results
Remove any chip to widen the search, or choose Clear to start again. You can keep refining the filters in the search form as usual.
If the question is not clear enough, the box asks you one short question back. If it sounds like a report question ("how many hours did we log last month"), the box points you to the Ask page, which answers those.
Tip
Name the project, the status and a date in one sentence. The more of these your question names, the more chips you get and the fewer results you have to scan.
What it can filter
| Filter | Example in a question |
|---|---|
| Project | "in the Onboarding project" |
| Status | "open", "to do" |
