Decisions – Powow AI

Critical business decisions are made during your meetings. Make sure to add them to the list of decisions in Powow to ensure they are reviewed, tracked, and shared by key leaders in your organization.

Powow identifies Decisions in two ways:

In-Meeting Commands which can be stated in the meeting - Identified, Commands
Manually in Powow for users with manage access in the meeting - Identified, Manual

After the meeting is submitted, Powow will deliver Decisions using one or several methods mentioned above.

Find Decisions under the tab "Analyze" on the meeting dashboard:

Decisions in the Diarization

You can quickly find the utterance in the diarization from where the Decision is taken: all the items are highlighted.

If you click the Decision item in the list, the diarization automatically scrolls to the relevant point in the meeting with a highlighted Decisions.

You can quickly find the utterance in the diarization from where the Activities item is taken: all the items are highlighted.

If you click the Activity item in the list, the diarization automatically scrolls to the relevant point in the meeting with a highlighted activity.

Each Decision is displayed in the list by its order in the meeting, no matter when it was added. Items that are not pinned will be at the end of the list.

Active and Inactive

All the Decision items you add through Command Recognition or manually, automatically appear in the Active list. You can move items to the Inactive folder or move back to Active by clicking Make Active or Make Inactive at the bottom right of each item. Only Active Decisions will show up in the meeting minutes. When editing Minutes, you can reprioritize or remove them from the published document.

Only the meeting owner and users with access to manage can move items between Active and Inactive. View or Guest access does not permit users to move Issues.

Move from Active to Inactive or vice versa:

Hover over the row with the Decision to activate a key in the bottom-right of the row that says Make inactive/Make active
After clicking the option, the Decision will be moved to the opposite tab

Add New Decision

Users may need to add missing Decisions to the list so none of them are left out of the Meeting Minutes. These items can be discovered while the meeting audio record is played or additionally summarised as a conclusion to the topic discussed.

Only the meeting owner and users with access to manage can add new items to the list. Users with access to view or Guests can only view active and inactive Decisions. For more information on meeting permissions click here.
