Configuring AIML options


BMC Virtual Chat uses Program D to assist with artificial intelligence processing. Program D allows for additional optional parameters to be specified in the Artificial Intelligence Markup Language (AIML) file.

Program D AIML files can contain the following options:

  • Auto Open URL: Use this option around an anchor tag to tell the virtual agent to open the specified URL. For example:
    <span class='autoopenurl'> Anchor Tag </span>
  • Knowledge Base Path: Use the anchor tag to create a link to a knowledge base article. For example:
    <a href=<bot name="kbpath">/rkm?doc=555>KB Doc</a>

    Warning

    Note

    To prevent broken links to knowledge articles, specify the knowledge base server value in the properties.xml file.

  • Users Screen Name: You can insert the user's screen name (as defined in the User Preference Form) anywhere within an AIML response. Add the [FIELD:SCREENNAME] parameter into the Program D AIML response wherever you want the user name to appear. The brackets are required and the screen name parameter is case sensitive. For example:
<category>
 <pattern>BYE</pattern>
 <template>Goodbye [FIELD:SCREENNAME]. I hope I was able to help you. Please click "Close Out Question" at the bottom right of this window or click "Exit" to exit completely.
 </template>
</category>
