Sources and activity
See the steps Nalar took for an answer, where its figures came from, and when it searched the web.
Every answer shows how Nalar got there. The activity list records the work Nalar actually did, such as reading a data source or searching the web, and the sources show where the information came from. Use them to check an answer before you rely on it or pass it on.
While Nalar is working
A status line under your message shows what Nalar is doing and how long it has been working. It may change several times as Nalar moves from one step to the next. When figures are being fetched, it can show how many rows came back.
The status line is a progress indicator, not part of the answer. It isn't kept when you reopen the conversation later.
The activity list
When the answer is done, a summary such as Worked through 4 steps sits above it. Select it to open the list of steps. You can also open the list while Nalar is still working.
Each step shows:
- what Nalar did, such as routing your question, reading a data source, searching the web, or preparing a table or document;
- its outcome: Running, Completed, Failed, or Stopped;
- how long it took, when that was recorded.
The count reflects the actions Nalar took, not the number of rows in the list. An answer that needed no steps, such as a reply to a greeting, shows no summary.
The list describes real work only. Nalar doesn't add steps to make an answer look thorough, and a failed or stopped step is never shown as completed.
Sources
An answer from your company's data shows the sources it used. Where Nalar knows them, a source entry names the business system and the dataset, table, or document behind the figures.
Sources follow the same access rules as the answer. You never see details of a source your role can't use, and connection details such as passwords are never shown.
A source tells you where information came from. It doesn't prove that the answer is correct, so check figures that matter before you act on them.
Web Search
Nalar searches the public web when your question asks for it, or needs current public information to answer.
There is no Web Search switch in the message box. To make sure Nalar searches, say so in your question:
Search the web for the latest Bank Indonesia benchmark rate and compare it with our average loan rate this quarter.Web results are marked as coming from the internet and are attributed separately from your company's data. A question about your own data doesn't trigger a web search on its own.
If a web search fails, Nalar says so instead of making up results.
