If the topic is not currently mapped to a model and intent, the NLU tab is not available. Specify a model and intent on the Properties tab in Virtual Agent Designer.

Role required: virtual_agent_admin or admin

## Procedimento

1. Navigate to AllConversational InterfacesVirtual AgentDesigner.
2. Set the topic discovery type toggle switch to NLU/Keyword.
3. Open a topic and view the NLU Intent tab.

5. **Opcional:** Associate entities with words in utterances.  
   Entities represent the context for the action. For example, common industry terms can be defined as entities to clarify the context. Universal system entities may include known elements like date and time or currency. NLU can match defined entities with user input to slot-fill the values. There are five types of entities you can define. For detailed information, see [NLU entities](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=entities&version=australia&pubname=australia-intelligent-experiences&ft:locale=en-US).
6. Select Save in the header bar.

## O que Fazer Depois

After making changes, you can [train, test, and publish the model](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/G8odwRx8MCfthk6EYMii2w "Use the NLU Intent tab to train and try a Natural Language Understanding (NLU) model that is mapped to a topic without leaving Virtual Agent Designer.") from this tab.
