Adding values
Easily learn how to create slot values and synonyms in NLX's Dialog Studio
What's the Values tab?
Values holds all the data and functionality for your custom slot’s values.
To reference your custom slot's values in an intent's flow or training phrases, be sure to attach it to the intent.
Add values
Click + Add new value > Enter 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).
Additional options (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 attributes that have been previously set in the flow by invoking the placeholder menu with an open curly brace { while in the Choice payload field
Optional: Add synonyms
Synonyms allow you to add alternate terms to a custom value that users are likely to provide when making a choice (e.g., a user may provide 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
Optional: Upload/download values
Upload: Allows for a .json, .csv, or .txt file to be ingested with slot values
Download: Prompts existing training phrase data to be downloaded to a .csv or .json file for editing. Tap the .csv/.json button beside the Download link to swap formats
