Projects
A project groups everything about one piece of work, such as a client, a deal, a product or a hire: its sessions, documents, memory cards, people, companies and action items. Projects are optional. You can use TalkBar without them.
The Projects page
Click Projects in the sidebar. Your projects also appear under it in the sidebar, so you can jump to one directly.
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| New project | Creates a project. |
| Manage | Opens Settings → Projects. See Projects, topics and keywords settings. |
| Group by company / No grouping | Groups projects by the company they are linked to. |
| Pin | Pin project keeps a project at the top and in the sidebar. |
Create a project
Click New project and fill in:
| Field | What it does |
|---|---|
| Icon and color | How the project looks in the sidebar and lists. |
| Name | The project name. |
| Type | Client, Engagement, Recurring, Internal, Personal, Research, Product, Sales, Hiring, Education, Event or Support. |
| Logo | An image shown on the project page. |
| Organization | The company the project is for. |
| Default session template | The template new sessions in this project start with. |
| Links | Links to docs, boards or repos the project lives in. |
| Description | What the project is about. |
Click Create project. Use Edit on the project page to change these later. Click the project name on its page to rename it.
Project limits per plan
Your plan sets how many projects you can have in each workspace. Projects in Trash don't count.
| Plan | Projects per workspace |
|---|---|
| Free | 1 |
| Personal | 1 |
| Plus | Unlimited |
| Pro | Unlimited |
| Business | Unlimited |
When you reach the limit, TalkBar shows your plan limits instead of creating a project. See Plans and license.
The project page
The top of a project page shows its name, type, description and links, and any upcoming scheduled sessions. The buttons are:
| Button | What it does |
|---|---|
| Export | Exports the project's sessions. See Exports. |
| Edit | Changes the project's details. |
| Add | Move sessions into the project, or add an Action item, Knowledge card, Scan for cards, Document, Person or Company. |
| New session | Starts recording a session filed in this project. |
Project tabs
| Tab | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Overview | Pinned and recent sessions, pinned memory cards, and open action items with due dates. |
| Action items | Action items, decisions and questions from all of the project's sessions, plus items added to the project itself. See Action items. |
| Sessions | The project's sessions. Switch between All and Pinned, filter by topic or keyword, and sort by Recently updated, Session date or Title. |
| Memory cards | Cards filed in the project. See Knowledge cards. |
| Documents | Documents filed in the project. See Documents. |
| People | People added to the project and the participants of its sessions. |
| Companies | Companies added to the project, plus the companies of its people and session participants. |
| Review | Knowledge suggestions from the project's sessions and documents. See Review and scans. |
The Memory cards, Documents, People, Companies and Review tabs work like the matching tabs in Knowledge, limited to this project.
File things in a project
| Item | How to file it |
|---|---|
| A new session | Pick the project when you start the session, or click New session on the project page. |
| An existing session | On the project page, Add → Move sessions. Or set the project in the session's details. |
| A memory card | Choose the project when you write the card, or use Move → Project on the card. |
| A document | Pick the project under File into when you import, or use Move on the document. |
| A person or company | Add to → Project on their card. |
| A note | Link the note to the project from the note's links. See Notes. |
When you move sessions, you can tick Also move memory cards from this session so their cards follow them.
A session series can also be filed under a project. See Series.
Chat about a project
In a chat, open Answer using and choose Project only to get answers from one project's sessions, notes, documents and cards. See Ask TalkBar.
Move a project to Trash
From a project's menu (on the Projects page or in Settings → Projects), choose Move to Trash. The project disappears from pickers and the sidebar. Its sessions, documents and memories stay until you delete the project permanently from Deleted projects in Settings → Projects. Published session links stay live.
From Deleted projects you can Restore a project or delete it permanently. A permanent delete lets you choose Delete everything or Keep contents. See Projects, topics and keywords settings.

People and companies
Keep track of the people you talk to and the companies they work for, link them to speakers and sessions, and archive the ones you no longer need.
