Interactive Exploded View, 360° Views and AI Entity Definitions
The Interactive Exploded View is a visualization concept that allows users to explore complex information structures by “exploding” an entity into its constituent elements—such as components, related documents, and contextual relationships—through hyperlinks that lead directly to corresponding 360° views.
A 360° view is a consolidated, holistic view of an entity (e.g. supplier, customer, project, etc.) that draws together data from multiple sources and presents it in a unified interface. Fabasoft Approve provides preconfigured 360° views for many object classes that can be customized or extended using Fabasoft app.ducx.
An AI Entity Definition is a structured description of an object that the AI uses to identify and link to a 360° view from within an interactive exploded view.
Creating AI Entity Definitions
To create a new AI entity definition, switch to the configuration and navigate to the AI Settings form page. Select Create AI Entity Definition and provide the following information:
- Multilingual Name: Enter a name for the AI entity definition, e.g. “Supplier Number”.
- Definition Name: In this field you must enter the fully qualified reference of the property the AI entity definition should be bound to. Prefix it with “_” and replace the “@”, “.” and “:” characters in the reference with “_”.
Example: If you want to bind the AI entity definition to the ID (SOLAPPROVEQUALITY@111.1001:supid) property of a supplier enter “_SOLAPPROVEQUALITY_111_100_supid”. - Property Name: In this field, you must enter the short reference of the property the AI entity definition should be bound to.
Example: If you want to bind the AI entity definition to the ID (SOLAPPROVEQUALITY@111.1001:supid) property of a supplier enter “supid”. - Patterns: In this field, you have to provide one or more regular expressions for the recognition of the objects you want to be able to identify. For example, if you want to create an AI entity definition for suppliers, and in your system all suppliers are identified by a 10 digit number in the ID (SOLAPPROVEQUALITY@111.1001:supid) property enter “\d{10}”.
After you have created all the desired AI entity definitions, you have to add them to your AI indexing configuration:
- Open the properties of the AI indexing configuration.
- Reference the created AI entity definitions in AI Entity Definitions field of the Indexing Settings field for the desired entry or entries (e.g. object class “Document”).
- Click Next to save your changes.
