Using a space in a chat

Point a Rhazes chat at a space so answers are drawn from your own clinical documents first, and how that link follows the conversation.

Two ways to do it

From the space. Open it and press Use space. Rhazes selects that space and takes you to a new chat, ready to go.

From the chat. Open the space picker, choose a space and press Link space. This is the one to use when you are already mid-conversation and realise you need the local guideline.

What linking actually does

Once a space is linked, Rhazes searches its documents when working out an answer, and cites the file and passage it used. You can open the citation and read the paragraph rather than taking the answer on trust.

In an existing conversation the space is attached to that session, so it stays put when you come back to it tomorrow. Choose one outside a chat and it applies to the next conversation you start.

One at a time

A chat is linked to one space. That is a feature rather than a limit, because the value of pointing a question at a body of documents comes from that body being a defined one.

If a question genuinely spans two specialties, ask it twice against the two spaces and compare. That is also a more honest thing to do than blending two sets of guidance into one answer.

It stays selected

Your choice persists until you change it, so the space you work from every day is already selected each morning.

Spaces and web search are separate controls

Linking a space does not switch the web off. Rhazes can still reach the guideline index and the open web, and that is controlled separately in your source settings, where you can search globally, restrict to named domains, or work to regional guidelines.

See Choosing where Rhazes looks things up.

When the space had nothing useful

Rhazes tells you rather than letting you assume. See When your space has nothing to say.
