Copilot Answer – Everything you want to know about modern control #6

Introduction to modern Copilot Answer control

Copilot answer is a brand new control. It is a pretty slick control that can be used in a lot of enterprise applications. It allows end users to get generative answers to a predefined list of questions. So, it is not like a chatbot where users can type in their questions but it works perfectly when you want to feed certain questions to the end users.

Properties

1. Items - The Dataverse table that the questions will be related to (only Dataverse tables are supported for now)
2. Views - Any views of the selected Dataverse table that you want to use to filter the list of records
3. Fields - The list of fields needed to answer the list of predefined questions
4. Title - The title of the copilot answer control
5. Question for Copilot  - The question that the copilot answer control will answer
6. Show answer  - There are 2 options:
   1. 'CopilotAnswer.LoadingMode'.Lazy (called After sending in the dropdown - is the default value)
   2. 'CopilotAnswer.LoadingMode'.Eager (called Immediately in the dropdown)

Then, I added a gallery of questions and fed the control with the selected record from the gallery. Here is a working demo of the same:
