    • New: The rule has never been published.
    • Draft: The rule is saved with unpublished changes.
    • Published: The rule is saved with all changes published.

    Apply only to Genius Results Option to make the result improvement rule only operate on Genius Result answers when activated.
    Note:
    When this option is selected, the result improvement rule can only contain block actions.
    Triggers
    Expand Synonyms For Query Conditions Option for enabling synonym expansion for Query condition arguments. This field disappears if you select Activate on all queries.

    When expanding Query conditions, AI Search only considers active synonyms that are defined in the same search profile and that have a language matching the language of the result improvement rule.
    Triggers List of conditions that must be met for the result improvement rule to activate. This field disappears if you select Activate on all queries.
    Select one of the following fields as the subject for your condition:
    • Keywords: Operates on one or more keywords found in the user's search query. For example, a [Keywords] [are] [password] condition is satisfied by searches for How do I change my password or password reset.
    • Query: Operates on the user's full search query. As an example, a [Query] [is] [password reset] condition is satisfied by a search for password reset, but not by a search for password reset steps.
    • User Context: Operates on a user context element from the search user's ServiceNow AI Platform® session. The system displays the source table and field after the user context element name. As an example, a [User Context - Country (sys_user.country)] [is] [Japan] condition is satisfied when the search user's User [sys_user] record has country set to Japan.
