    1. In Question list name, enter a name for the question list that’s easily identifiable when applying the list to a document.

    2. In Description, enter any information that can provide additional information about the question list—for example, information that can help you understand the purpose of the question list.

    3. In Visibility, select one of the below options.

      • Everyone in my organization: These question lists are available for everyone in the organization to select from.

      • Personal: These question lists are visible only to you.

    4. A question list must have at least one question in it. To add a question, select Add Question.

      1. In Question name, add a short name for the question. For example, if the question is related to the parties involved in an agreement, the name could be “Parties”.

      2. In Question, enter the relevant question or instruction. Ask iManage will use this to try and figure out the answer. Ensure that you frame the question or instruction effectively with enough detail, so that when processed, you get the desired response—for example, “Who are the signatories for this agreement?”.

      3. To verify the effectiveness of the question:

        1. Select Test Question. Ask iManage will generate an answer from the document.

        2. If the answer matches your expectations, save the question or else rephrase it, and select Test Question again.

        3. Repeat the above steps until you get the answer you want.

      4. Select Save. The question is saved in the question list.

      5. You may now proceed to add another question to the question list.

NOTE: You can add a maximum of 25 questions to a question list.

  1. After you've added all the questions you wanted to, in the Add new question list dialog, select Save to save the question list.
    If the number of questions in the question list is more, then you may have to scroll down the panel to view the Save button.
    This question list is now available to you to apply to a selected document.

NOTE: The auto-save feature is active in Ask iManage. Even if you don’t save the question list, as instructed in the step above, the question list gets saved. However, we strongly recommend that you do save to avoid losing your updates due to any glitches in the system.
