  • The .xlsx file structure:

    • When we import a KB using a new custom schema, rather than its original type, we will only import the data for the properties that are in common. Other new properties will be ignored in the target location during importing.

    • When we create a KB using the custom schema, the user-defined properties will be exported in customData.propertyName column. For example, If we have the property firstName in the custom schema, the exported Excel header will be customData.firstName.

    • Excel file header reference:

Primary Question

Question Variation

Voice Answer

Text/Chat Answer

Answer Screen

Labels

Guid

customData. propertyName

  • The search functionality is extended to search using the Labels, the data in Voice/ Text/ Screen/ Buttons, Question Variations, Intent ID and the Content ID.

Flow Studio

  • Hide Message Bubble- This new option is available only for Text box input type in allows for accepting input utilizing a Single Input control . Check this checkbox if you need to hide the Single input control in the chatbot. By default it is unchecked. This overrides all the other options in the Text box input type ie. Hidden, Single line, and Multiline.

This helps when using an adaptive card. This option lets the bot pause and get the input from the User, which otherwise does not happen. More info in 3.3.9 Flow Studio Controls

...

  • The formatting of the date and phone number input type while getting inputs from the User in a chatbot is made better now.

...

  • with NO output rendered to prompt the user. You can find this in the Single Input control. This is useful in scenarios where the expectation is that an indicator is presented via another mechanism, such as when using a hook that renders HTML5 directives or Adaptive Cards. In these scenarios, instructions for input are generally provided with the mechanism itself, making the additional bubble redundant.

    In previous versions of the platform, when you had a hook & Single Input combination, both controls would be rendered, presenting an additional message bubble with every hook rendered.

  • One output pin- This new option when checked is available in the Choose One control> Choice tab, we will get and Yes/No controls under the Choice tab. A new section to choose the number of output pins to display for the control is added. The new option, One output pin will render only one output pin from the control in the flow studio canvas rather than showing outpin pins equivalent to the number of choice. By default, the checkbox is not checked.

    Previously on loading the flow studio Flow Studio canvas. This option lets the user connect the out pin of Choose One or Yes/No to the next control easily. This will be helpful where the flow is the same regardless of the chosen option.

By default, One output pin per option will be selected as previously set. This will give us output pins equal to the number of choices in the control.

Chatbot Settings

  • All Chatbot Settings (Settings, Custom CSS, Custom JS and Header) are editable except the Template. To update the Template settings, we should make a copy of the Default Chatbot settings file.

  • Previously when copying the Default chatbot Chatbot settings, the Header content was not copied. This is handled now. has now been resolved.

  • For Chatbot Settings, there are a few changes done as part of v4.0.98 Patch updates which are also available in v4.0.100. Please refer to them here https://orbita.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/OCS/pages/2143092942/GA+Release+-+4.0.98#Chatbot-Settings

Chatbot v3

  • For chatbot v3, there are a few changes completed in the v4.0.98 patch updates which are also available in v4.0.100. Please refer to them in https://orbita.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/OCS/pages/2143092942/GA+Release+-+4.0.98#Chatbot-V3

  • Now, by using the property send_advance_message, we can pass different Value and Text data in the hook function. A simple use case will be in a Button action where the display text and the value passed to the backend can be different. This is similar to the submitQuery property in the v2 bot.

Sample code snippet

Code Block
self.parent.OrbitaChatBotV3.hook('send_advance_message', `You chose an appointment for ${WEEKDAYS[formattedDate.getDay()]} ${MONTHS[formattedDate.getMonth()]} ${formattedDate.getDate()}, ${formattedDate.getFullYear()} at ${selectedTime}`, null, {
        date: selectedDate,
        time: selectedTime,
        timezone: timezone
    });
