Adding values
Easily learn how to create custom slot values and synonyms in your NLX workspace
What's the Values tab?
Values holds all the data and functionality for your custom slot’s values.
Add custom slot values
After creating a new custom slot:
Click + Add new value > Enter custom slot value
Click + Add new value or use SHIFT + ENTER to create a new field. Repeat as needed
To remove a value from the list, select the remove icon
Avoid using special characters, keep values under 100 characters, and refrain from closely-named values (value 1 = Yes, value 2 = Yes, please).
Optional (expand a value to view):
Skip translation: Enable to prevent the value from being automatically translated when a language is assigned to the slot
Value ID: A unique and non-editable ID that is auto-generated when the slot is saved
Choice payload: Allows you to display a custom payload when the value is presented as a selection to users. You may also apply Context variables that have been previously set in the flow by invoking the placeholder menu with an open curly brace { while in the Choice payload field. They can also be useful to sort values within your application. For example, you could add
isLastValueto the choice payload field of the custom slot value:
Add custom slot synonyms
Synonyms allow you to add alternate terms to a custom slot value that users are likely to provide when making a choice (e.g., a user may respond with Sure or OK instead of Yes). In these cases, synonyms can be added to expand the scope of responses that capture the same value:
Expand a value > Select + Add synonym
Enter a synonym for the value. Repeat to enter as many synonyms for the value, as needed
Upload/download slot values
Upload: Allows for a JSON, CSV, or TXT file to be ingested with slot values
