How to control number of the number of responses returned

The Ticket Deflection Score threshold lets TVA know how and when to reply to a request in the following order:

1. Tikit Knowledge Base (Articles and/or Templates)

2. Optionally look to generative AI to construct an answer

3. Create a new Ticket

TVA’s confidence in an answer is known as the confidence score, a number between 0% and 100%. A score of 100% is likely an exact match, while a score of 0% means that no matching answer was found.

The recommended and default threshold is 65% but you may want to adjust it to balance between accuracy and coverage of questions:

• The Score Threshold determines the minimum level of confidence, or the amount a question/phrase matches a Knowledge article phrase, for its associated response to be returned.

  •  NOTE: If the Azure AI integration is configured and no responses exceed the confidence level. Deflection will then search against your configured OpenAI instance for a generative response.

• The Number of Responses controls how many responses are returned in a deflection for a user to choose from sorted from most to least confident

• When the most confident response is greater than the following number setting alters the behavior of multiple responses as configured above. When the most confident response is greater than this threshold, only a single response is returned rather than a selection for a user to choose from.
