Include images in requests

When sending a request or question about an item to Smart Assistant, you can also include images that are provided as part of memo fields, comments, or test scripts, to generate relevant responses. When images contain helpful information, including them can improve Aviator's response.

For example, when there is an image in the description of a feature or defect, you might ask the following:

• What buttons are available in the image?

• What is the exception in the image?

• Suggest a What's New summary for the feature (which will take the images into account).

In addition, using images in a manual test can produce better results when converting it to an automatic test. Aviator can decipher any element of the image, not just test.

Your admin can control this feature using the following parameters.

Parameter name	Description
GENAI_USE_INLINE_IMAGES_IN_REQUESTS	By default, users can include images in Aviator requests. To block this capability, set the parameter to false.
GENAI_MAX_CONTEXT_IMAGES_PER_REQUEST	The maximum number of images that can be sent in a single request.

For details, see Configuration parameters.

To include inline images in a request:
