Questions
A question is the foundational building block of the Soal platform. A question is usually submitted by a user not on the data team, to be answered by a user who is a part of the data team (embedded data analysts & scientists included).
Each question has the following fields:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Title | Title of the question |
| Requester | The person who submitted this request. This is typically not a member of the data team. (This is a system generated field) |
| Requester Team | The team that the requester is assigned to. (This is a system generated field.) |
| Assigned To | Data team member who has been assigned to work on this question. |
| Status | One of: Backlog, To Do, In Progress, Resoved |
| Priority | One of: Low, Medium, High, Urgent |
| Created At | The date at which the request was created. The time is according to the UTC time zone. (This is a system generated field.) |
| Resolved At | The date at which the request’s status was most recently set to ‘resolved’. The time is according to the UTC time zone. (This is a system generated field.) |
| Tags | Multiselect between (tags)[/setup/create_tags] that were created by the workspace admin. |
Note that these fields can only be modified by an admin or by the user assigned to a given question.
Questions are organized according to the following structure:
- The
