    Avant de commencer

    Role required: admin or sp_admin

    Remarque :
    Now Assist support for portals includes all pages within the portal.

    To define how a search query should be formed for checklist generation, configure the Service Portal Approval Configuration for a table.

    The sc_request and sc_req_item tables are provided by default in Approval Configuration. You can configure additional tables to go through the approval workflow.

    You can select the display fields that you want the AI agent to display in the results, such as a short description, opened by, and requested for. The display field order also applies to the Approval Info Record widget. You can add, change, or remove display fields for both the Approval assistance AI agent and the Approval Info Record widget.

    The checklist uses KB articles and policies to assist the Approval assistance AI agent in decision making. The checklist fetches information from knowledge base articles about specific requester approval tickets. All fields that are available from the approval configuration can be used by the Approval assistance AI agent. If you do not configure a table for the AI agent, the Approval assistance AI agent uses the default fields.
