How rooms form a tree
The top room is your organisation. Ainomos creates it when the organisation is set up, and it cannot be archived. Every other room has a parent room and a type: Department, Team, Project or Special. The type is a label and does not change what a room can do. If your organisation shows its structure on its sign-in page, department and team names appear there, project and special rooms never do.Create a room
Who can do this: platform admins and owners of the parent room create a room directly. Other members of the parent room send a room request instead.1
Open the form
Open the room picker at the top of the screen and choose New Room. The room you are in is preselected as the parent.
2
Fill in the fields
Use the table below. Under Where it sits, the form shows what the new room inherits: you as its owner, the parent’s deciders per decision type, and the agent door.
3
Create or request
Choose Create Room. If you may not create rooms under this parent, the button reads Request Room and Ainomos files a request.
You become the new room’s owner and a member, and Ainomos writes an evidence record in the parent room.
The room details show the data class and the parent room but offer no way to change them later. Choose both with care.
Room requests
A request has no identifier field: Ainomos derives it from the name on approval. Open requests appear under Room requests in the room details of the people who can act on them. Approve creates the room, and the person who asked becomes its owner. Reject needs a reason. The person who asked can Withdraw an open request. Who can approve or reject: platform admins and owners of the parent room.The room details
Select a room, then choose Room details (the sliders button) in the bar at the top. Every member can open the drawer. What you can change depends on your responsibilities. The drawer shows, from top to bottom:- The room’s facts: Slug (the identifier), Data class, Type, Parent room and Your role.
- Overview and Where it sits: the room at a glance, the rooms above and below it, and how many rules, decisions and documents it inherits.
- Agents and Answers: the settings below.
- Responsibilities and Members. See roles and permissions. The members card shows only to owners and platform admins.
- Decision numbering: the next key per type, and where it continues.
- Danger zone: archiving.
Changes to agent proposals, question translation and source weights need a reason. Every change writes an evidence record.
Source weights in plain words
When Ainomos answers, it ranks the sources it found. Source weights tell it which kinds to prefer in this room: Decision records, Room knowledge (this room’s and what it inherits), Law, and Other subscribed brains (knowledge the room subscribes to from elsewhere).
The room’s purpose may suggest a weighting. Apply suggestion uses it; nothing is set automatically. Weights only reorder sources of the same standing, so a subscription marked authoritative stays first and a question about the law still finds the law. A change applies from the next question.
A room without a purpose
Rooms created by the setup wizard, or before purposes existed, may have none. Their owner sees the step A purpose in the room’s setup card in Knowledge and can write it there.Rename or archive a room
Who can do this: owners of the room.- Rename: choose Change name (the pencil next to the name), type the new name and choose Save. The identifier does not change.
- Archive: in the Danger zone, choose Archive, then Archive room. The room leaves the room picker, the tree and agent routing. Its evidence stays findable. Archive child rooms first. The top room cannot be archived.
