Keep your dataset field reference current
Have Notis check the field definitions for a selected dataset and explain which fields support the research you plan to do.
Trigger

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action

Why this helps
Research instructions can rely on assumptions about dataset fields that are absent or have changed.
- Ground research plans in actual dataset field definitions.
- Spot fields that are missing for the intended question.
- Refresh the reference without repeating the lookup manually.

- 3Tell Notis which dataset metadata to retrieve and which fields matter to your research.
