Intents Analytics

The Intents Analytics page provides an overview of the performance of the intents being used across all of your bots. You can use this information to get a better idea of the questions that your users are asking, and what additional intents it may be helpful to author in your bots. For more information, see Intents.

Accessing the Intents analytics

  1. From the Application Bar, click Analytics.

  2. Click Intents.

Intents analytics page layout

The Intents Analytics page consists of two columns: Unmatched User Utterances and Intent Matches/Matched Intent Utterances. It also contains a Global Date Range button in the top right corner of the page.

Global date range button

Hover over the Intent Analytics banner to display the Global Date Range button.

Click here to set the date range for all reports on the Intent Analytics page.

If you select Custom from the drop-down menu, a calendar will appear for you to select a start date and an end date.

  • After you make your selections and click Apply, the reports will adjust to display data from this range.

  • Click Clear to reset the calendar.

Unmatched user utterances

This report contains a list of the messages sent by users that your bots were unable to identify and match to an intent, along with the number of times those utterances occurred. The system will group similar unmatched utterances together, so the count could either indicate that users are typing the same thing, or that they are typing similar things.

You can use this report to assign unmatched utterances to the appropriate intents. For more information, see the Assign Utterances To Intents section below.

Reviewing your unmatched utterances and matching them to proper intents should be done frequently to ensure that customer questions are being answered by your bots.

3

Clustering Settings

Click here to open a drop-down menu containing a slider tool, which you can use to adjust the clustering settings for unmatched user utterances.

Moving the slider toward "Cluster Loosely" will permit utterances with lesser degrees of similarity to be grouped together, resulting in fewer and larger groups. Moving the slider toward "Cluster Tightly" will require utterances to have greater degrees of similarity in order to be grouped together, resulting in more and smaller groups.

In the text field, you can type the maximum number of words that the intent will take into consideration when determining how to group an utterance.

Your adjustments will save automatically.
