Resolving tickets with the help of Ask HelixGPT
The summarized information helps you quickly analyze the root cause of the incident, perform necessary actions, and resolve the incident. You can also view the knowledge articles that are used by BMC HelixGPT to generate the information.
The following video provides a demonstration of how to find information to resolve an incident by using BMC HelixGPT:
Before you begin
Ensure that the incident ticket is created.
To use Ask HelixGPT to resolve a ticket
If your administrator has disabled initial resolution summary,
BMC HelixGPT
does not generate it when you click the Ask HelixGPT tab. A response is generated only when you ask a question. For more information about disabling the initial resolution summary, see Configuring Ask HelixGPT for BMC Helix ITSM.
- Open the incident ticket.
Click the Ask HelixGPT tab.
Based on the contextual data of the ticket, the Ask HelixGPT tab displays an initial resolution summary providing information about the possible resolution for the incident.The Ask HelixGPT tab also displays links to the knowledge articles from which the summary is sourced.
- If you have further incident-related questions, type the question in the Type a message field, and press Enter.
The Ask HelixGPT tab displays a summarized answer for your question along with links to the knowledge articles from which the answer is sourced.
To pin a knowledge article to an incident from the Ask HelixGPT tab
If the response generated by BMC HelixGPT helps resolve the incident, you can pin its source knowledge article to the incident.
Pinning a knowledge article to an incident increases its use count and relevance.
The articles you pin on the Ask HelixGPT tab also appear pinned on the Resources tab of the incident. The Resources tab displays the version number of the knowledge article you pinned.
If you want to attach an article to an email message, you must first pin it to the incident.
To pin a knowledge article to an incident, on the Ask HelixGPT tab, in the Sources area of the response, click Pin corresponding to the knowledge article.
To send a generated response, file, or pinned knowledge article in an email message from the Ask HelixGPT tab
When working on an incident, you might want to send the response generated by BMC HelixGPT to your customer or other IT users so that they can resolve the incident.
You can email the generated response from the Ask HelixGPT tab instead of using your standard email system.
You can also attach a knowledge article or a file to the email message. You can attach a knowledge article to an email message only if the knowledge article is pinned to the incident and has the Publish to External Audiences option set to Yes. The URL of the knowledge article is sent in the email message.
- On the Ask HelixGPT tab, click Email
below the generated response that you want to send in an email message.
The response is added to the email body. - Perform one of the following steps:
- Click Attach file to attach a file to the email message.
- Click Add knowledge article to attach a pinned knowledge article to the email message.
For more information about sending an email message, see Sending-email-messages.
To copy a generated response from the Ask HelixGPT tab
You can copy a generated response from the Ask HelixGPT tab and paste it into an email message or a document.
To copy a generated response, on the Ask HelixGPT tab, click Copy below the response you want to copy.
How Ask HelixGPT interprets prompts and generates responses
To get the most out of Ask HelixGPT, use prompts that align with its capabilities.
The following diagram depicts how Ask HelixGPT processes resolution and conversational queries to generate responses.
Understanding this workflow will help you draft effective prompts.
Effective prompts
These prompts are likely to return accurate and helpful responses.
Prompt example | Why/How it works |
---|---|
“My VPN connection is not working." | The question will get answered only if a knowledge article about the incident is available |
“Summarize activity logs." | A summarized response is generated only if the incident has activity notes entered by user. |
“I need to reset my password.” | Direct problem statement. The question will get answered only if a knowledge article about the incident is available. |
Weak prompts
These prompts may fail or return irrelevant results.
Prompt example | Why it fails | Recommended prompt |
---|---|---|
“Can you find a knowledge article for this incident?” | The incident context (summary) is not mentioned along with the question | “Can you find a knowledge article for an incident where VPN connection is not working?” |
“Tell me the current date and time.” | The question is not related to current incident in context. | |
“What is the status of this ticket?” | The question lacks an actionable problem description. |
