Company context
Company context gives SeekWell shared information about your business and the meaning of your data. Keep definitions specific enough that someone unfamiliar with your database can understand them.
Open Questions, then select Company Context.
Add an entry
- Select Add Entry.
- Choose a section and write the context.
- Select Save.
Use the sections to organize related knowledge:
| Section | Example context |
|---|---|
| About | “We operate a subscription business. Customers can have multiple subscriptions.” |
| Definitions | “An active customer has at least one paid subscription whose end date has not passed.” |
| Conventions | “Report revenue in USD and group daily reporting by UTC date.” |
| Tables | “Use analytics.orders for completed purchases; join customer_id to analytics.customers.id.” |
| Guardrails | “Exclude accounts marked is_test = true from business reporting.” |
These examples illustrate the level of detail to provide. Replace them with definitions that match your actual schema and reporting rules. Context instructions do not replace database access controls.
Find and maintain context
Use Search context and the section filters to find an entry. Use its edit action to change the section or text, then select Save. Use its delete action to remove obsolete guidance and confirm the deletion.
After a change, Undo is available when the saved version can still be undone. Keep entries current as business definitions and tables change.
Handle overlapping edits
If someone changes context while you are editing, SeekWell preserves your draft and asks you to review the current saved context. Use Reload current context for review, compare the saved text with your draft, and save again after reconciling the changes.
If the entry was deleted while you were editing, review the current context before adding the draft as a new entry.
Permissions
Viewing context requires permission to view sources and destinations. Adding, editing, deleting, and undoing changes requires permission to manage sources and destinations. Ask your account administrator if the controls you need are unavailable.
Use question history to investigate answers and identify definitions your team should clarify.
