Request a Data Analysis

This page summarizes all the capabilities that you can activate in a conversation.

Beyond Topics requests, Crystal lets you activate capabilities present in the Advisor by simply asking for them.

Right now, you can activate features linked to Crystal's data analysis capabilities.

Remember

These capabilities are only available for Configured Topics; Auto-generated ones do not support them.

Ask for an Anomaly Detection

With the Anomaly Detection capability, you can monitor a Topic until the system finds an anomaly.

To activate this feature, simply ask:

1. "Notify me / advise me / let me know etc" + "about"

2. Specify the Topic of interest

3. Specify Filters (optional)

Crystal will give you a feedback about the result of your request (e.g. request succeeded, failed, etc.) and you will receive a notification when the analysis is available.

Examples

• "Notify me about sales by week over time"

• "Advise me about sales by week over time for Italy"

Ask for an Anomaly Detection

Please Note

You can activate the same capability from the Topic Card of the chosen Topic.

Ask for a Threshold Monitoring

With the Threshold Monitoring capability, you can monitor a Topic until the value of the Entity goes above or below a specific threshold.

To activate this feature, simply ask:

1. "Notify me / advise me / let me know etc" + "when"

2. Specify the Topic of interest

3. Specify Filters (optional)

4. Specify the direction of comparison: "goes above" or "goes below"

5. Choose the threshold value: it can be an absolute value or a percentage

Recommendations

Consider the following recommendations to write the absolute threshold value correctly:

• The numeric value needs to be specified in full: you cannot include “,” or “.”

  • These symbols should only be used to indicate a decimal number

• You cannot abbreviate the number

• You cannot include a currency symbol

For example, you can not specify a number like "$ 3,4K": instead, you should write "3400".

Crystal will give you a feedback about the result of your request (e.g. request succeeded, failed, etc.) and you will receive a notification when the analysis is available.

Examples

• "Notify me when sales overtime by week goes above 80 million."

• "Notify me when sales overtime by week goes above 80 million in Spain."

• “Let me know when my total sales growth rate goes under 10%.”
