How to define string as luis entity - bots

I'm working with Luis.ai, I can define entity as a word but dont know how to define entity as a string, for example:
I am working on setting up my computer
I want to receive entity = "setting up my computer"
Currently, Luis return entity = "setting"
any help is appreciated.

Have you tried making the Entity "computer" and the Intent "Setting Up"? And, you could add phrase lists such as "computer, laptop, desktop, machine" and "setting up, configuring, installing, building". Based on your example, it seems like this is the direction you are intending to go

Is there an easy way to create a "Movie-name" entity in dialogflow

I want to create an action that takes the name of a Movie or Tv show and returns some details about it.
The problem is that I need to add all the possible tv show names to an entity.
Even then there is the limit of 3000 for the maximum number of entities in an Entity. Is there a way around this problem?
Ideally I would like to give it some sample tv show names and when the user says a new tv show name(one that the entity doesn't contain), it is able to recognise it and pass it on to the intent.
You should create a custom entity, and train it with as many examples as you can. Additionally, mark the allowed automatic expansion, so that dialogflow will be able to recognize the names which you have not defined.
The problem could still be there, that dialogflow might recognize something as movie name which is not a movie name, for that you should have a validation function in your webhook code. If validation fails, you can prompt the user again for correct movie name.

Dialogflow(Api.Ai) Doesn't recognize custom entity

I have been working lately with Dialogflow to make chatbots to do some simple tasks. For instance with webhooks and youtube api where the user ask to show him a video and then the bot just answers with the youtube video url.
E.G.
USER SAYS
Show me Neil young harvest moon
AGENT SAYS
Here you go : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2MtEsrcTTs
I do this by using a custom Entity I called "YoutubeQuery" I checked "Allow Automated expansion" and unchecked "Define Synonyms" then I just added 2 values "Kavinsky Night Call" and "Indigo Night Tamino"
In my Intent I just made a couple of training phrases like these:
And everything works.
Now my issue is with a new Agent which I called Orders
I want just to get Order Id's from the firestore database, but before getting there I'm running in kind of a huge problem
I defined the order's ID entity just like the one with the youtubeQuery. And I added some example Order ID's , I want them all to Start with OD and have 4digits after example (DX0001,DX0009,DX9999)
Afterwards I made the intent
Now unless I give the EXACT order ID's from the traininphrase or the ID examples I defined in the Entity it will always give me a response with an empty parameter OrderID
I start my intent by saying "my order" then I get prompted with "What is your ID?
So when I give an ID that has not been used in the training phrases of the Intent I get an empty value in the parameters like this:
But when I give an ID that has been used in the training phrases like for instance the first one DX0808 it does work...
How can I make this work without adding all the possible order id's ranging from DX0001 to DX9999 in the training phrases or the entity.
I mean it does work for my youtube query, I can put anything there it does "catch" the value. Any help please?
It looks like the required parameter is the problem here, my suggestion would be to:
Create intent to get the order id in one sentence without reprompt (turn off required on the order id) and id is always present, ex: "my id is DX0402". Include training response where only ID is provided like "DL3932", ex. below:
Set other intent for scenario when customer wants to provide the id but it is missing, for ex. customer says: "my id" and make your bot ask for the id as an response ex. "ok, provide me your id"
If you do it, in case user doesn't provide the id, intent 2 will be triggered and after id is provided you'll trigger intent 1.
Hope this makes sense.

#sys.any gets all the string as the parameter value in api.ai

I'm working with api.ai and have a "user says" sentence like this:
Let's reserve a hotel named Flamingo with rents one night stay at 100$, two nights stay rented at 200$.
I defined "Flamingo" as hotel-name and its entity is #sys.any,"100$" as one-night and "200$" as two-nights and their entity is #sys.unit-currency.
Now, when I try this in "Try this now" section of api.ai, "hotel-name" is set to the whole sentence and "one-night" and "two-nights" are empty.
Would you please help me in this problem?
Thanks in advance
You need to add a Entity of type "Hotels" and add "Flamingo" to it.
Then you should change #sys.any to #Hotels
& that is because #sys.any will take any input which is coming its way. You should define #Hotel-names entity which has these hotel names entered as Flamingo,..,...etc etc & then use it in intent. That will help.

LUIS does not recognize names with spaces

So I got a bot built with Microsoft Bot Framework and it's using the LUIS API for text recognition. With this bot, I'm able to ask about information about different devices that I got in my backend. They got names like Desk, Desk 2 and Phone Booth 4. The first and second name works just fine but whenever I send a name that contains 2 spaces or more, LUIS will fail to recognize it. I have added all the names to a feature list on LUIS but it doesn't seem to do anything. When I'm in the bot code executes the method for that intent, the entity is just null whenever I send this kind of names. Any idea how I might solve this? As I described, names with just one space like Desk 2 works just fine. Maybe there is a way to save multiple words as an entity inside LUIS?
In the image below, the top entry is "show me phone booth 4" and the bottom one "show me desk 2".
It'll take a little leg work, but have you tried updating your model programmatically?
On the LUIS API reference, you can label individual utterances or do it in batches. The benefit of doing it this way is that you can select what should be recognized as an entity based on index position.
Example:
{
"text": "Book me a flight from Cairo to Redmond next Thursday",
"intentName": "BookFlight",
"entityLabels":
[
{
"entityName": "Location::From",
"startCharIndex": 22,
"endCharIndex": 26
},
{
"entityName": "Location::To",
"startCharIndex": 31,
"endCharIndex": 37
}
]
}
I admit I haven't attempted to do this before, but I do not see how labeling/training this way would logically fail.
One thing I do note about your entities is that they're composed of an item and also a number. You could throw them into a composite entity; but in this case doing it the way I mentioned above is a good way to do what you're looking for.
That said, if you plan on using the office-furniture-pieces(?) as entities for a separate intent, say, 'PurchaseNewOfficePieces', it might pay to create use a composite entity for 'Desk 2' and 'Phone Booth 4'.

Sharepoint alerts not working when multiple people are in an item

We use Sharepoint Services 3.0 as a project tracking tool. We have a list set up that contains your basic information (description, etc.) plus we have a "assigned person" column that is of type Person or Group that we use to associate list items with individuals. This column supports multiple selections.
We would like to set up alerts such that each person gets an alert email only if they are assigned to a list item. The approach we have taken is to set up a view on this list that is filtered to show list items where the assigned person equals [Me], and then to create an alert on this list that is set to send an email when someone changes an items that appears in the view.
This works well when there is only one person in the assigned person column. It does not work when there is more than one person in the assigned person column.
Does anybody know why this wouldn't work, or what I can do to troubleshoot? Is there a better way to achieve the end result? We could make several "assigned person" columns and not allow multiple selections, but that seems kind of kludgy.
Try this info site,
http://www.sharepointalert.info
it has a good alert trouble shooting guide.
The reason it works for one person but not multiple people is because the check is specifically against an individual. The comparison your view does is whether Assigned is equal to [Me], not if Assigned has [Me] as one of its entities.
Instead of using a list filter of is equal to, use the list filter contains. That should do the trick.
EDIT IN RESPONSE TO COMMENTS
To access the object model, you'll need to use Visual Studio. I'm unaware of a method to accomplish this kind of thing using SharePoint Designer, but maybe there's some sort of crazy Datasheet View thing you can do. Anyway... onto your actual needs...
The following code sample illustrates a very basic method for achieving your goal.
using (SPSite site = new SPSite("yourwebsiteurlhere"))
{
using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())
{
SPList list = web.Lists["titleoflist"];
SPView view = list.Views["filteredviewname"];
view.Query = "<Where><Contains><FieldRef Name=\"assignfield\"/><Value Type=\"Integer\"><UserID Type=\"Integer\" /></Value></Contains></Where>";
view.Update();
}
}
Replace "yourwebsiteurlhere" with the website url, "titleoflist" with the title of your list in question, "filteredviewname" with the name of the view, and "assignfield" with the internal name that you used for your assignment field. If you created it through the standard SharePoint UI, this should be the name of the field without any spaces.
As far as where to run the code, you could put this kind of thing in a one-time workflow. I sometimes do that just to make sure I have necessary privileges. Hope this helps!
If you're not able to/allowed to use Visual Studio, then your solution will probably have to be to look into a 3rd party solution.
