# Creating a List of Dates

## Selecting documents 

You can choose multiple files to build your List of Dates from.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**Select files** for preparing your List of Dates

[Upload the file(s)](/file-upload-and-management/your-files-and-documents/uploading-files-and-folders.md) that you want to use, and select them from the [Folder pane](/file-upload-and-management/your-files-and-documents/uploading-files-and-folders.md#open-your-folders-pane) on the left.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
You can see the selected document(s) on the main pane on the right, in the "<mark style="color:green;">Ready for Analysis</mark>" area.

You can select multiple files - both PDF and Word documents, up to a maximum limit of 150 documents.

2. Typically, the List of Dates is generated in 3-7 minutes, except the Master List of Dates that may take longer depending on the size and number of document(s) selected.

   {% endstep %}
   {% endstepper %}

**List of Dates is a background process.**

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.jurisphere.ai/creating-a-list-of-dates.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
