Setting context for natural language queries

To set the context for natural language queries, perform the following steps.

From the Toolbox, click Semantic Models.
Select a semantic model from the list.
Click the AI Settings tab and then select the Model Instructions under the Context section.
For the Business Context, describe the business purpose and usage of this semantic model. Adding this context enables Copilot to create more precise and relevant metadata.
Click Ask Copilot. The Ask Kyvos Copilot dialog is displayed.
On the dialog, complete the following information:
1. In the Additional Input Prompt field, enter any specific instructions or guidance to help generate the business context (for example, business purpose, domain details, or intended usage).
2. Click Generate to allow Kyvos Copilot to create the Semantic Model Business Context.
3. Review the generated content, including the Business Purpose and Sample Questions.
4. (Optional) Click Clear to remove the input prompt and enter new instructions.
5. Make any necessary edits to the generated business context directly in the editor.
6. Review the information.
7. Click Accept to apply the generated business context to the semantic model. You can also click Cancel to discard the changes and exit without saving.
Specify key insights instructions for generating natural language summaries in Summary Instructions. This tailors summaries to business needs and improves relevance.
