New Service Bots module
Self Help integrates now a Service Bots module for deploying virtual agents.
A virtual agent is a new functionality that opens a conversation panel enabling an artificial intelligence to provide relevant knowledge to users via a text discussion. To do this, it relies on an NLP (Natural Language Processing) engine.
Characteristics
- The virtual agent can be integrated within a customer portal for a given domain.
- You can create several virtual agents.
- Each agent will be linked to a specific domain and to one or more projects within this domain.
- It can also be integrated within a HTML page to be accessed independently of the portal.
- The interface uses the evSH theme.
- You can define several properties to modify the characteristics of the agent, e.g. font displayed in the conversation panel, configuration of the call button, header and data entry field in the conversation panel, keywords displayed in the tag cloud when the conversation panel is opened, etc.
Implementation principle

| (2) | [00] Low level folder: This contains basic queries in the Service Manager REST API |
| (3) | [01] Examples and Help folders: This contains procedures and help procedures for the project. |
| (4) | Folders for each business object (Actions, Assets, Departments, Employees, etc.) containing the REST API functions used for higher-level actions such as updating Employee forms or creating tickets. |
Connexion package configuration using the oSetup variable
The object variable contains all of the required parameters for integration. It is found in the Library folder.
| (1) | auth object variable: This contains login information. |
| (2) | buildAuthHeader() function: Used to create the header of the query for the REST API. |
| (3) | buildUrl() function: Used to create the URL of the query for the REST API |
| (4) | isActive variable: Used to pause the running of queries, e.g. during testing. |
| (5) | isSetup() function: Used to check the workability of the configuration. |
| (6) | URL object variable: This contains information on the queried server address. |
How to use the connexion package

- Create your procedures using the aliases of functions found in the connexion package.
Content validation workflow
A content validation workflow for procedures and resources is now available.
- The status changes as the workflow progresses: Draft, To be approved, Rework, Approved, Published.
- The initial status of all content created within a project is Draft.
- All content imported within a project can retain their status (the status saved in the archive). They can also be initialized with one of the status of the workflow.
Graphic presentation of the process
Description of the process steps
- Approval Request step performed by the editor: The editor submits a content approval request to an expert with the relevant approval rights for the project. The expert receives an email indicating that there is new content to be approved.
==> Explorer pane > Right-click the content > Request change approval
==> New status of the content: To be approved
- Change Approval step performed by the expert: The expert validates the changes made by the editor.
==> Explorer pane > Right-click the content > Approve changes
==> New status of the content: Approved
Note: editors with approval rights for the project can perform the approval themselves.
==> Explorer pane > Right-click the content > Approve changes now
- Change Rejection step performed by the expert: The expert rejects the changes made by the editor. The expert must enter a comment explaining why the content was rejected.
==> Explorer pane > Right-click the content > Reject changes
==> New status of the content: Rework
==> The rejection reason is displayed in the content properties.
- Publication step performed by the administrator: The administrator publishes all content approved by experts.
==> A message will appear if some of the content was not approved (1).
==> In this case, the administrator can force the publication and publish the project with all of its content, even though some of it was not approved during the Validation step (2).
==> New status of content whose previous status was Approved: Published - Note: The other statuses will not be modified.
==> After publication, users will be able to access all authorized content, regardless of the status.
