  • There are two options for the Recommended Actions application: String-based and ML-based. These options decide the kind of data that you get for your search. It displays data about automations in all states except the Published state.

    Before you begin

    Install the Recommended Actions application. For more information, see Install Recommended Actions application.

    Recommended Actions searches for matching string in Process name, Description, and Applications used fields of the Automation requests form, and Automation name, Description, and Source in the Automation Attribute table.

    • String-based: Searches for the exact string in the same order as in the search criteria.

      This is a good option if you want to use short phrases or single words as your search criteria. By default, this option is enabled.

    • ML-based: This is helpful if you have too much data and your search criteria is long. To use the ML-based recommendations, you need at least 10 records in Automation Center.
