Guidelines for Reusing and Reanalyzing Dovetail Data Across Projects

ยท

My team is on the roll this week with questions about Dovetail ๐Ÿ’ช Are there some guidelines for reusing or reanalyzing data between projects? I found three ways to approach this, but all have some drawbacks:

  1. 1.

    Copy data (e.g. video with transcript) from Project 1 to Project 2 and tag it with Project 2 specific tags.

  1. a.

    Would this affect how AI treats data? I.e. would it think that these videos are of two people and then "over represent" this one person in summaries?

  1. 2.

    Tag Project 1 data with Project 2 specific tags and then import the findings as insights to Project 2

  1. a.

    This can get pretty messy and fast, especially if projects have different focus. Not to mention if multiple projects do this

  1. 3.

    Utilize highlights and AI in search to create new insights from Project 1's data for Project 2 to use

  1. a.

    These can be imported into Project 2 as insights, but their role would be more like data in Project 2's context. I.e. I'd like to reuse Project 1's insights as background data for Project 2, not import them as insights

I tried to search for answers here and on the help pages, but couldn't find anything. Any suggestions?

    I would really love to know this also, as it's pretty messy re-using data. Depending on who needs access to the Project, with option 1 you could create a new project and restrict the access to it? This way AI and magic search won't double up. You would then probably need to move the insights into another folder for global access to these new insights though. Still pretty messy
