Creating a Step

Once you have created a skillset, and have added the necessary skill, you can start adding steps in it. Select the Add Steps button as shown in the image.

This will open a sidebar, as shown below, on the left-hand side of the graph. You can drag and drop the step you want from this sidebar

Once you drag and drop any of the step types from the sidebar, a new sidebar is opened with the RHS of the step type you selected. You will need to fill in some information about the step before saving it.

You'll need to add the following inputs:

  • Step Name: The label that will appear on the step on the graph.

  • System Name: The system name is used to uniquely identify the step in the backend. Only underscores and capital case alphanumeric characters are allowed in this field.

  • Step Type: Use step type to indicate if a step is a Start Step, End of Query or a Context Clear Step.

The Start Step indicates that this is the step that will initiate a new Query.

End of Query indicates that this is where the user's query gets resolved. It is usually the end of the conversational flow and also triggers Feedback flow. 

The "Context Clear" flag clears the entities and other contextual data of the conversation. This context includes the current position in the conversational flow.

You can read more about it, here.

Delete

Tip: When the user is in the middle of a query and the system cannot find a match
 to the connecting steps, our system will go over all the Start Steps to see if they can
 find a match to what the user said.

Status: Status indicates whether the step will be active or inactive. When you are first making a bot, we'll assume all the steps you create are active. Instances, when you will deactivate steps, will arise later on.

Click 'Save' when done.

Post creation of a step, the step will be displayed as depicted below:

Components of Steps

  • Add User Messages
