Troubleshooting Process Copilots

The following are some common issues within a Process Copilot implementation and suggestions for how to best address them.

Interactive Debugging

Each Process Copilot is interactive, and you can use this interactivity to troubleshoot. If your Process Copilot is having trouble and you don’t know why, ask very clear questions about the problem. Asking your Process Copilot questions such as “I’m doing some troubleshooting - please tell me the exact problem you ran into” can often reveal the root cause faster than digging through the logs on your own.

Issue

How to address it

Your Process Copilot gives an answer that you know can't be true.

  1. Check the Inspect panel.

  2. Make sure this Process Copilot used the correct KPI or Attribute and applied the correct filters. A Process Copilot can make mistakes.

Your Process Copilot is not providing an answer.

“Sorry for the inconvenience…”

This problem could be:

  1. The PQL the Process Copilot tried to run is broken;

  2. Your Process Copilot tried to join two tables that don’t have a common table;

  3. this Process Copilot can’t find data in the Knowledge Model (KM) related to what was asked, so it tried to write a response in python but failed.

Make sure you read the full error messages to identify possible issues. Sometimes you will need to give your Process Copilot additional guidance.

You asked a question such as “Filter on all Vendors with a Rework Rate of over 10%” that your Process Copilot can’t answer.

Like dashboards, a Process Copilot can’t filter on KPIs, but it will try. Make sure to check the filter statement in the Inspect panel.

Broken components

There are three potential issues here:

  1. Broken PQL - There’s an issue with the KM or the Data Model.

  2. Broken filter - This Process Copilot wrote a filter that does not work.

  3. Bug (Rare) - There’s a bug and your Process Copilot returned a field in the component that is not in the KM.

In this case, you should try to recreate the view on your own using the same fields that the Process Copilot used. This will immediately tell you if the issue is caused by your Process Copilot or by the data.

You want multiple KPI fields included in your answer.

Try requesting this information by explicitly asking your Process Copilot the exact names of the KPIs and the dimension you are interested in and for this information to be shown in a table. The Process Copilot will provide the table you requested.
