Notes & Social

Notes & Social is the short-form half of communication: notes kept against the work they belong to, an internal feed the company talks to itself on, and the moderation to keep it usable.

Before you start

  • Someone willing to moderate. A feed nobody moderates becomes a feed nobody reads.

What Notes & Social does

Short-form writing, and what the company is telling itself.

01

Keep notes against the work

A note attached to the record it concerns is findable by the next person. The same note in a document is not.

02

Post, comment and react on the activity feed

The feed is for what the company is telling itself — smaller than an announcement, more durable than chat.

03

Make a company announcement

Announcements reach everybody. That is exactly why they should be rare enough to still be read.

04

Moderate: hide, remove, lock or pin

Four graded responses rather than one. Locking a thread that has run its course is usually the right one; removing is the last.

What it claims to do

The capability list this guide is written against, unabridged. Nothing above adds to it.

Where it connects

The modules Notes & Social hands work to, or takes it from. Most problems that look like one module are a handover between two.
