Creating custom dashboards by using HelixGPT Insight Finder
HelixGPT Insight Finder is an AI Agent that can generate dashboards for BMC Helix ITSM based on natural language input. It simplifies the process of creating dashboards and improves the quality of insights derived from them. You can specify your requirements as prompts to HelixGPT Insight Finder. It analyzes the prompts and provides responses in the form of dashboard panels. Before saving a panel, you can add additional prompts to change the panel configuration, such as:
- Rearrange or resize the panel
- Specify the type of visualization to be used. The following visualization types are supported:
Table, Bar chart, Stat, and Pie chart - Sort the column order when the result is displayed as a table
You can add more columns by specifying them in a prompt. However, some of the previous columns might be removed. To preserve all columns, explicitly add it to your prompt. For example, add Company and Site, and keep the existing columns. - Rename or remove columns
- Rename the panel
HelixGPT Insight Finder uses the views available in Visual Query Builder. The scope of the fields is limited to the fields available in the views. The following views are supported:
- Change Management
- Incident Management
