Auto-Create a Visualization from a Natural Language Prompt

As part of Exabeam Copilot and its set of AI-driven capabilities, you can use the natural language prompt at the top of the Dashboard application to quickly auto-create your visualization. If the automatically generated visualization does not produce the data you want to visualize, you can still modify the visualization settings to produce exactly the desired results.

Note

This auto-create option is currently available only for Event model visualizations.

If you do not want to use this feature, see Create a Visualization for steps to configure your measures, dimensions, and filters manually.

To auto-create a visualization from the natural language prompt:

  1. Enter the visualization creation process, in one of the following ways:

    • From the Dashboards home page, click the Visualizations tab at the top and then click New Visualization.

    • From inside of an existing dashboard, click Add Visualization at the top and then select Create new.

    A dialog box opens and displays the available Exabeam data models. The models displayed depend on the Exabeam products in your environment.

  2. Select the Event data model. A visualization dialog box opens and displays a natural language prompt bar at the top.

  3. Enter your visualization criteria in plain language in the prompt bar. For example: activity types by product for the past month in a table chart.

  4. Click the Build Visualization icon (icon-build-viz.png) on the right. The measures and dimensions are selected automatically, the filters are configured, and the chart selection is made. Then the visualization data is generated.

  5. If you want to tweak the visualization, you can manually change any of the measures, dimensions, filters, or chart type and then click Run Data to re-generate the visualization data. For information about manually configuring visualization settings, see Create a Visualization.

    Note

    When you modify the visualization manually, a note is displayed under the Natural Language prompt as a reminder that the prompt no longer reflects the changes to your visualization settings.

  6. When you are satisfied with the data your visualization displays, click in the title field in the upper-left corner of the dialog box and replace the placeholder text with a descriptive title for your visualization.

  7. To complete the visualization, do one of the following, depending on where you started creating it:

    • Creating from the Visualizations Tab – Click Save. The visualization is created and added to the library. You can access it for viewing and editing from the Visualization tab. If you want to be able to add the new visualization to one or more dashboards at a later time, you will first need to make it public. See Make a Visualization Public.

    • Creating from within a Dashboard – Click Add. The visualization is created and added to the dashboard where you started creating it. If you would like to add it to the visualization library, click the options icon (icon-options.png) of the visualization tile on the dashboard and select Add to Library. A library icon (icon-library.png) appears on the visualization tile next to the title.
