Multiple entities in the same question

Started exploring the PVA recently. Was wondering if there is any way to capture multiple entities in the same question.. as far as I explore, I don't see an option.. but I can see lot of potential for that.. for ex: 1000$ per month (1000, month as 2 entities).

Is there any other alternate for this (Except custom Skills)?

Thanks

Re: Multiple entities in the same question

I reproduced your scenario, but the maximum value got is 2 entities, you can configure your scenario as I will send here:

- Create an entity called Currency with items "GBP, Dollar, EUR" and insert some synonymous like "US$, euro, Dollar" inside each parameter to your chatbot understand synonymous for each item.

- Create an entity called Period with items "year, month" and insert some synonymous like "yearly, monthly"

- Inside your topic, create the first question with Identity using the Money entity (is created by default inside your environment)

- Create the second question with Identity using the Period entity

- Create the third question with Identity using the Currency entity

Maybe your conversation will follow these steps:

bot => What is your sal?

user => 5000 GBP per month

bot => thanks, pay period? (but will not send this question to the user because he understands the Money equals to 5000 and Period equals to Month)

bot => What is the currency? (the chatbot will send this question because he cannot get the currency parameter inside the message)

Re: Multiple entities in the same question

Hi @DeepakS Thanks for the reply. That's exactly what I'm doing now.. but imagine from end user point of view..

bot => What is your sal?
user => 5000 GBP per month
bot => thanks, pay period?
user => I told it is monthly 🙂

if you see the response 1 of user, there is potential to capture 3 entities a)Money b)Currency c)Period but all I can capture is just Money... it would be super useful if we can capture more than 1 entity really.. isn't it?

Thanks again..

Re: Multiple entities in the same question

Hi @ansrikanth ,

If you are working with entities and some fixed/synonymous values, your chatbot maybe will understand the entities.

E.g.

1st question - What is your currency? (options: dollar, yan, ... )

2nd question - What is the payment method? (options: money, credit card)

And if the user sends "dollar money", your chatbot will maybe understand but is not a 100% correctly, maybe your chatbot will show the question to the user the question depends on the scenario.

Re: Multiple entities in the same question

Hi @ansrikanth

I dont think you can use multiple entity in one question , but its good idea.

Alternatively you can achieve this with two questions:

Q1-What is your salary?

Q2- Pay Period?
