Error when adding topics to Virtual Agent |
Check the error log for details:
|
| Reports have intent matches, but no pre-built topic matches | Make sure ITSM Virtual Agent Conversations is installed and activated for the instance. If the app is installed, then none of the pre-built topics address the issues found in your reports. For more information, see Set up ITSM Virtual Agent. |
| Analysis reports are not available in production instances | This is the expected behavior. Analysis reports and Intent Discovery are designed to live in one instance only. Added topics and NLU models are made available in a "new" instance, but the Topic Recommendations reports do not move between instances. |
| Analysis report is stuck and says "Analysis in progress" | Check the status in the Discovery Report Definitions table:
You can also navigate to to see if something went wrong in the intent discovery process. For more information, see Intent Discovery. |
| Adding new topics takes longer than expected | Try the following:
|
| Can't generate a report with less than 10,000 or more than 300,000 records | Topic Recommendations currently supports a minimum of 10,000 records and a maximum of 300,000 records. This is done for performance and to ensure a statistically significant data set. |
| Model is not preselected in the app | If you are upgrading from Quebec and this is your use of the Topic Recommendations app, you must select a model. Once you select a model, Topic Recommendations preserves the selection. |
| Unmigrated model support | While you are encouraged to migrate your models to groups, Topic Recommendations does not require models to be grouped. |
| Unlinked topics | You don't have to link all recommendations. Topic linking is a way to "acknowledge" a recommendation if you have an existing topic. |
| The Topics/Requests VA Can Handle tab is not displayed | System property Navigate to ALL > sys_properties.list (or ALL sys_properties_list.do). Search for and select |
