    Overview of a summary

    You can quickly learn the details of a regulatory alert from the record summarization generated by Now Assist summarization skill. By reading the regulatory alert summarization, you can get an overview of the alerts that are often high in volume. By default, regulatory alerts in the New state are eligible for summarization. You can, however, modify this behavior by defining custom states or conditions under which summarization should occur. You can also specify the different prompts and the fields from which you want to collect data to create the summary.
    Note:
    Only users with the sn_grc_comp_genai.reg_change_ai_user role are able to see the option to create a summary for a regulatory alert. This role must be manually assigned to an RCM user.
