About Indexing Subject Areas for Oracle Analytics AI Assistants and Home Page Search

Administrators can control which subject areas in the data model are indexed and whether the Oracle Analytics AI Assistants and home page search can use the indexed data in their responses.

In the Data Model tab you can use the Assistants and Homepage Search checkboxes to determine if one or both can use the data in datasets or columns as part of their output.

• Assistants - When you enable the AI Assistants to use subject area content, you allow the associated data to be used in responses to natural language prompts.

• Homepage Search - When you enable Homepage Search to use subject area content, you allow the associate data to be used when generating visualizations with prompts from the home page search bar.

When configuring the data model index, you should be deliberate in choosing which data is indexed. If you choose to index all the data for the AI Assistants and Search, you might achieve poor prompt results and indexing more than 500 columns can lead to slow responses, reduced relevance, and increased processing costs. See Improve Responses from Oracle Analytics AI Assistant.

Note:

Avoid indexing data for columns that contain sensitive data, as this exposes those sensitive data values in any places where those columns can be searched and in responses from the AI Assistants.

The way you configure the index for datasets is different. See About Indexing a Dataset for Oracle Analytics AI Assistant and Home Page Ask.
