How can I create sub-entity inside dialog task?

[gaetano.picilli]

Hi,

I wish to use a composite entity but I’m not able to create related sub-entities.
The documentation “Working with Composite Entities” doesn’t explain how can I create sub-entities inside dialog task.
As example, starting from an Intent node, is it necessary create first sub-entity node, then next sub-entity node and so on, and finally the composite entity node, creating the following chain of nodes:

intent node → subentity node 1 → … → subentity node N → Composite Entity node

Is it correct ?

Can you give me a picture with an example of dialog task with sub-entity nodes ?

Thanks for your support.

Regards.

Hi @gaetano.picilli,

Kindly refer usecase-2 in the following link which illustrates an example for creating a composite entity:

Fetching Multiple Entity and all needs to obtained before proceeding the follow

Hi @ashwing2, Please follow the instructions as mentioned under the below use cases and let us know if you have further questions. Use Case 1: Extracting entities from the user utterance and ask user only for the entity values which are not present in the utterance: ->Do Entity tagging for the utterances provided at the task and train them, the bot would extract the entities from the user utterances and would only ask those weren’t present in the utterance. Ref to below snips for more detai…

Also, please go through the following post for better understanding.

How to use Composite Entity

Thanks @andy.heydon for you reply. Actually in the composite entity I have set the pattern as ‘my first name is @firstName and last name is @lastName’ And if I provide the bot input as ‘my first name is himanshu and last name is goel’. For this input also bot is getting confused and not working correctly. We are having some scenarios where we want to search records based on different parameters, some of the parameters are of string types’

Let us know if you need any further clarification on the above.

Just connect the nodes, and change the node configuration, The first one should be “mandatory” and “explicy prompted”, the others N-1 subentity nodes should be “hidden” and “evaluate the unused text and text of the previus…” So your node will ask to the user one time then extract the N entities from the same user input.
