Getting Started with Spotter

To edit a Spotter answer, click the Edit button above the Spotter question box. The Edit Answer window opens.

You can add or remove query tokens, change measures and attributes and even drill down by different attributes directly in the answer while in edit mode or even in the conversation itself.

To save your changes, click Done editing. Otherwise, click Discard changes.

You can see sample rows of the underlying Model to get a sense of what columns are in the data set and how the sample rows look by clicking Preview data. Note that Preview data is not available for Models with chasm or fan traps, unless you contact ThoughtSpot Support.

You can click tokens in a Spotter answer to edit them for clarity, such as specifying whether a measure should be classified as count or unique count, or changing the column being used as an attribute.

To edit a Spotter answer’s tokens, follow these steps:

You can give feedback on a Spotter answer without interrupting your conversation. This feedback is visible to your administrator in the Spotter Conversations Liveboard. This can be particularly helpful if you give feedback on incorrect answers, as this can highlight places where Spotter’s coaching can be better tailored to your business use cases.

If Spotter provides a correct answer, click the check mark at the bottom of the answer. If you see a thumbs up icon, you can review and save the underlying business terms and search query tokens so Spotter remembers your choices in the future for similar questions.

If Spotter provides an incorrect answer, click the X . If you are using Spotter Agent, you can give further details on what the answer got wrong. If you see a thumbs down icon, you can edit the underlying question, save, and then review the business terms and search query tokens of the answer.

To save a term, you must Approve or Reject it. After you approve or reject at least one business term, you can click Submit to save and share your feedback with Spotter.
