# Overview of the List of Dates tool

The Jurisphere List of Dates tool gives you the ability to draft a list of dates for the documents you have selected in a matter of minutes. The tool intelligently understands the context of the documents you provide and generates the output in a streamlined fashion, with five different ways to draft your output.

## Types of List of Dates

<table data-view="cards"><thead><tr><th></th><th></th><th data-type="rating" data-max="5"></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Brief List of Dates</strong></td><td>This option will provide you with a concise yet comprehensive list of dates containing all relevant dates and events across the documents you have selected. The tool intelligently understands the context of the documents and identifies the relevant dates for the matter at hand.</td><td>4</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Master List of Dates</strong></td><td>This option is most useful when you require a detailed and comprehensive list of all dates and events within the documents selected. The tool extracts any and every possible event - including irrelevant entries - and does not make any judgement call. Useful while drafting pleadings from scratch.</td><td>4</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Custom List of Dates</strong></td><td>The most useful type - allowing you to provide the necessary context and instructions, so you can get a LOD drafted just the right way. You may mention points and directions to help the tool judge relevance, and also provide language and style instructions.</td><td>5</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Respondent's List of dates</strong> </td><td>This option provides you with a concise yet comprehensive list of dates and events relevant to the respondent’s case. The tool intelligently reviews the selected documents and identifies key dates, events, and developments from the respondent’s perspective.</td><td>4</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Claimant's List of Dates</strong> </td><td>This option provides you with a concise yet comprehensive list of dates and events relevant to the claimant’s case. The tool intelligently reviews the selected documents and identifies key dates, events, and developments from the claimant’s perspective.</td><td>4</td></tr></tbody></table>

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

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.jurisphere.ai/list-of-dates/overview-of-the-list-of-dates-tool.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
