Namespace

This field is only available if you integrated with Dropbox Paper Business. This field allows you to select the team folder in which the Parent Folder will be selected from.

Parent Folder

This field allows you to define which folder to create the Paper document in. The list of folders shown in the dropdown are determined by whether if you integrated with Dropbox Paper or Dropbox Paper Business.

  • If you integrated with Dropbox Paper, then the list of folders will be restricted to your personal folders.
  • If you integrated with Dropbox Paper Business, then the list of folders will be dependent on the folder selected in the Namespace field.

Title

This field allows you to define the title of the Paper document. It is defaulted to match the title ( {{ incident.title}} ) of your incident. This field supports Liquid syntax.

TIP: You can use the Incident Variable Explorer to test out what value each liquid variable returns.

Retrospective Template

This field allows you to use a predefined retrospective template to create the body content of the Paper document. The list of selectable templates can be defined in the Retrospective Templates page.

If a template is selected in this field, the content defined in the Custom Retrospective Template field will be overridden.

Mark Post Mortem as Published

This field allows you to define the status of the retrospective. A retrospective can be in either a draft or published status. This is typically used if you have automated notification workflows that are only triggered when the retrospective status is published.
