For more information about Predictive Intelligence, see [Predictive Intelligence](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=predictive-intelligence&version=australia&pubname=australia-intelligent-experiences&ft:locale=en-US). Role required: admin ## Procedure 1. Navigate to AllPredictive IntelligenceSimilaritySolution Definitions. 2. In the Similarity Definitions list, search for and select the Similar Demands solution definition (ml_sn_global_global_similar_demands). 3. On the Similarity Definition form, verify the default field values for demands. For more information about the Similarity Definition form fields, see [Create and train a similarity solution](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=create-similarity-solution&version=australia&pubname=australia-intelligent-experiences&ft:locale=en-US). 4. Select Update \& Retrain. 5. Open the Similarity Definition form for the Similar Demands solution definition (ml_sn_global_global_similar_demands). 6. In the ML Solutions related list, view the training solution progress in the Progress column. Note: Alternatively, you can select the link for the solution in the Active column. On the ML Solution form, select the Show training progress related link to check the training solution progress. ## Result When the solution is complete, the similar demands appear in the Similar demands section on the Demand form. ## What to do next * Review similarity examples: On the Similarity Definition form, in the ML Solutions related list, when Progress is 100%, in the Active column, select the link for the solution. On the ML Solution form, select the Similarity Examples related link to view the Similarity Examples list. * Update the similarity score threshold: On the ML Solution form, on the Solution Statistics tab, enter the required value in the Similarity Score Threshold field. Right-click the ML Solution form and select Save. * Test the prediction output for the records: On the ML Solution form, on the Test solution tab, enter your text in the Short description field and the maximum number of expected results in the Top N field, and then select Run test. The results above the similarity score threshold value are displayed. {#train-similarity-solution-dm__ul_gy2_khj_rhb} **Related concepts** * [Assess demands](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/rUWyI2B9oj6bgLpkVKd0aw "The Demand Management application comes with two demand visualization tools that can aid decision makers with demand assessment.") * [Add details to demands](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/wiDjvk2SfzjvUBtMD4lU5Q "The demand manager typically works with a business relationship manager to identify stakeholders and elicit requirements, risks, and other important information.") * [RIDACs records for a demand](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/85AuNXmPycWd0InqWRcELQ "RIDAC is an acronym for Risk, Issue, Decision, Action, and Request Changes records.
