Ask a colleague

Like 'phone a friend', but easier.

Who this is for: Anyone reviewing a QuickTurn questionnaire who hits a question they need a teammate to answer.

Time: Under a minute per question.

What it does

Hands a single question off to a specific teammate. The question's status changes to Assigned so you can keep working and come back to it later.

How to do it

  1. On the questionnaire page, find the question you want to hand off.

  2. Open the per-row actions menu and click Ask ("Ask a colleague for the answer").

  3. The Ask a Colleague panel slides out. You'll see:

  • Question — the question text, read-only.

  • Select Colleague (required) — pick a teammate from the dropdown ("Choose a colleague…").

  • Context Note (Optional) — type anything that helps ("Add any additional context or instructions…"). Useful for pointing to a specific doc, clarifying scope, or flagging a deadline.

  1. Click Assign Question. The button shows Assigning… briefly.

The row's status updates to Assigned and the question now sits under the Assigned filter.

If the dropdown is empty

If you see "No other team members found in your organization. You can invite colleagues in the Settings page.", you don't have any teammates in AnswerPath yet. Invite them first — see Invite teammates.

When to use this

  • The question requires information that's not in your Context Hub (internal-only knowledge, deal-specific answers).

  • The question needs subject-matter expertise (legal, security, pricing).

  • The answer needs sign-off from someone else before you can commit to it.

When not to use this

  • You can answer it yourself in a minute — just click Edit on the row instead.

  • The Context Hub almost has the answer but needs a small update — fix the underlying document, then re-run Generate Answers on that row.

Tips

  • Pick one owner. Assigning to the person most likely to answer, rather than spraying assignments, usually gets you an answer faster.

  • Use the context note. A one-line note ("Please confirm SOC 2 status as of April 2026") saves a Slack exchange.

  • Track assigned items. Use the Assigned filter to see what's outstanding before you export.
