Project Items

The Items tab is the central hub for all resources attached to a project. Items include meetings, knowledge base documents, artifacts, tasks, lists, and scoping estimates β€” everything your team needs to deliver the engagement.

Overview

Items are resources linked to a project that build its knowledge base and track deliverables. Each item type has its own assignment flow and behavior, but they all appear together in a unified table with grouping, filtering, and bulk operations.

Adding Items

Assigning Meetings

  1. Click the + button in the Meetings section header

  2. A popover opens with a scrollable list of available meetings

  3. Use the "Only mine" filter to show only meetings you recorded

  4. Select one or more meetings and they are immediately linked to the project

Alternatively, enable the Meeting Auto-assign automation in the project sidebar to capture client meetings automatically as they complete.

Uploading Knowledge Base Documents

  1. Click the Upload button in the Knowledge Base section

  2. Drag and drop files or click to browse β€” many file types are supported (PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, text, and more)

  3. Files are uploaded directly to the project's dedicated knowledge base and become available for AI-powered search

Deleting a knowledge base document removes it from the project's knowledge base entirely, not just from the items list.

Assigning Lists

  1. Click the + button in the Lists section header

  2. A popover shows available lists that are not yet assigned to the project

  3. Select one or more lists to link them

Assigning Scoping Estimates

  1. Click the + button in the Scoping section header

  2. A popover shows available scoping estimates

  3. Use the "Only editable" filter to show only scopes you have permission to modify

  4. Select one or more estimates to link them

Adding Tasks

  1. Click the + button in the Tasks section header

  2. The Agents drawer opens to the Tasks tab

  3. Create a new task or submit a task to an agent

  4. When the drawer closes, the items list refreshes automatically

Working with Artifacts

Artifacts are typically created through Darcy Chat or workflow outputs. Once created, they appear in the project's items list and can be viewed and edited in a floating panel directly from the Items tab.


Toolbar Features

The Items toolbar provides several controls for organizing and navigating your items:

Control
Description

Search

Filter items across all types by name or title

Group By

Group items by Type (default), Timeline, or None (flat list)

Filter Chips

Toggle visibility of specific item types (Meetings, KB, Artifacts, Tasks, Lists, Scoping)

Collapse / Expand

Collapse or expand all groups at once


Bulk Operations

Select multiple items for batch operations:

  1. Click a row to select it

  2. Shift-click another row to select a range

  3. A batch action bar appears with the option to Remove all selected items from the project

For knowledge base documents, batch removal deletes the documents from the knowledge base. For all other item types, batch removal unlinks them from the project without deleting the underlying resource.


Best Practices

Practice
Recommendation

Upload materials early

Add all reference documents to the knowledge base before generating a definition or sharing with the team

Use grouping

Group by Type to quickly find specific resources; switch to Timeline for a chronological view

Enable auto-assign

Turn on meeting auto-assign so client meetings are captured without manual effort

Use descriptive file names

Clear file names improve AI search results within the knowledge base

Clean up regularly

Remove outdated items to keep the project focused and improve AI response quality

Leverage filter chips

When working on a specific area, filter to just that item type to reduce visual clutter

Pro Tip: Upload all background materials to the knowledge base before clicking "Generate" on the Definition tab. The more context Darcy has, the better the generated definition will be.
