Optionally display the best answers for a search query as actionable Genius Result cards included with search results.
A Genius Result configuration includes a trigger condition and logic for creating answers. The trigger condition determines whether the Genius Result configuration activates for a search query. When activated, the configuration checks for search results with extremely high relevancy. If it finds any, its answer logic populates one or more Genius Result cards with information and actions derived from these results. The Genius Result cards appear alongside normal search results, giving the user immediate access to the most relevant answers and actions.
To use a Genius Result configuration in searches, link it to one or more of your search profiles. For details on this procedure, see Link a Genius Result configuration to a search profile.
Genius Result evaluation order and result limit
A search application configuration's Genius Results Limit field value specifies the maximum number of Genius Result cards the application can display. For more details on search application configuration settings, see Search Application Configuration form.
Genius Result trigger conditions
- Always: The Genius Result configuration activates for all search queries.
NLU: The Genius Result configuration activates when the search query's detected intent matches a specified Natural Language Understanding (NLU) model intent. For more information on NLU models and intents, see Natural Language Understanding.
- Term: The Genius Result configuration activates when the search query consists of a single specified term or phrase.
Genius Result answer types
- Search: When triggered, displays Genius Result cards for results from a search query. The search query must be defined in a server-side script included in the Genius Result configuration. Each search result displays as a separate Genius Result card, to a maximum of three cards. If the search query returns no results, no Genius Result card is displayed.
- Script: When triggered, displays a Genius Result card containing key-value pairs. The object containing these key-value pairs must be defined in a server-side script included in the Genius Result configuration. The script can use methods from any ServiceNow AI Platform® public API to construct this object.
Language support
In the base system, Genius Results only support English search queries.
Table record limit for Genius Result configurations with NLU trigger conditions
If an NLU model includes a table vocabulary source that references a table containing more than 100,000 records, sync fails for the vocabulary source. When sync fails, the model can't be successfully trained, and Genius Result configurations that use the model in their NLU trigger conditions don't operate correctly.
- Catalog Item [sc_cat_item]
- Department [cmn_department]
- Location [cmn_location]
- User [sys_user]
For more information on NLU vocabulary sources, see NLU vocabulary.
