Build a team decision log

Build a searchable team decision log in Jotsu with clear ownership, decision context, meaningful statuses, and review-ready outcomes.

What you will build#

A decision log where a team records context, ownership, status, and outcomes.

What you will learn#

You will shape a data model, add a status workflow, improve the interface, test persistence, and deploy.

Before you begin#

Sign in to Jotsu and open the dashboard.

Part 1: Plan the application#

Use one Decision record with title, owner, date, context, status, and outcome. Use proposed, decided, and revisited as statuses.

Part 2: Create the data model#

Describe the application and ask for a form, table, owner and status filters, and five clearly labeled sample records. Select Build for me.

At this point, you can create a decision and see it in the decision table.

Part 3: Build the main workflow#

Ask Codex to add actions for marking a proposal decided and revisiting a decision. Require an outcome before decided and preserve the transition time.

At this point, invalid transitions show an error and valid transitions persist after reload.

Part 4: Design the interface#

Ask for a compact working table, strong status indicators, an obvious create action, and an empty state that explains the first decision to record.

Part 5: Test and debug#

Create, decide, filter, and revisit one record. Check Dev logs after each action and repair any first failure.

Part 6: Deploy the application#

Select Deploy app, open the deployed URL, and repeat the create-and-decide workflow.

Review what you learned#

The application uses one focused record model, validated state transitions, and views organized around team tasks.

Extend the application#

Add related meeting notes, record who changed each status, or create a view for decisions due for review.
