How to read the Timeline tab, which sorts decisions, tasks, open questions, and notes as the meeting happens, and what to keep in mind.

What shows up

The [Timeline] tab sorts what was said into decisions, tasks, open questions, and notes each time someone finishes speaking. Each item comes with the words it was based on. Click the timestamp to jump to that line in the transcript.

Proposals nobody accepted, objections, simple agreement, and remarks that only run the meeting don't become items. So not everything said in the meeting shows up.

Items that get updated or retracted

When someone says the same thing again, HeyMoa updates the existing item instead of adding a new one. Each item carries a badge.

  • [New]: This came up for the first time.
  • [Added detail]: More was added to the same item.
  • [Corrected]: Something said earlier was corrected.
  • [Retracted]: Someone reversed the decision.
  • [Answered]: An open question got an answer.

An item becomes [Retracted] only when someone actually reverses the decision. An objection alone doesn't retract it.

How to read the timeline

Filter by [All], [Decisions], [Tasks], [Open questions], or [References]. During recording the list follows the newest item. For an ended meeting it starts from the top.

If you're on the [Transcript] tab while recording, a tip bubble appears for 60 seconds when the first timeline item shows up. Click it to go to the [Timeline] tab.

The copy icon copies the whole timeline, whatever filter you picked. If a message says some changes were missed and the timeline is catching up, click [Resync].

When you end the meeting, the summary is built from this timeline. The next step is covered in Ending a meeting and analysis.

Frequently asked questions

Does everything said in the meeting show up?

No. Proposals nobody accepted, objections, simple agreement, and remarks that only run the meeting don't become items.

Can I set an assignee on the timeline?

No. While recording, HeyMoa doesn't know who is speaking, so items have no assignee. You set assignees and due dates in the summary review after the meeting ends.

Does an objection retract a decision?

No. A decision is retracted only when someone reverses it. An objection alone doesn't retract it.
