      | Field | Description |
      |-|-|
      | Name | Name of the custom adapter property: synthesized_text_citation_strategy. |
      | Value | Property value that controls how Virtual Agent API sends the synthesized text response with citation labels and links. If you want to configure the way citations are displayed in the response, then choose any of the following options: * endnotes (default): With this selection, the citation label and links are displayed at the end of synthesized text response. * inline-link: With this selection, the citation links are attached to the citation reference (\[1\], \[2\]..). * inline-link-with-endnotes: With this selection, the synthesized response is displayed with both endnotes and inline-link. * none: With this selection, the citation label and links aren't displayed in the synthesized text response. The third-party chat systems can use their own logic using citations to render the output text from the synthesized response. {#va-api-enable-synthesized-response__ul_bnh_zv4_4hc} |
