When Show Past Conversation is set to Yes, all conversation sessions for the selected IA Domain will be saved to provide a scrollable history in the user's browser. Past history is available only for links that are created using the Share button for the selected application. The time period for storing sessions (up to 90 days) is set by the Conversation History Range dropdown menu that appears. Whenever the shared chatbot application link is opened using the same browser, the entire period of conversation history for the Domain will be displayed. When Show Past Conversation is set to No, past conversations for the selected IA Domain will not be saved. Each time the chatbot application link is opened in the browser, it will display only the current conversation session. Note: This setting stores data in the user's browser. Clearing the browser cache for the chatbot page will also clear all conversation session data. The Show Past Conversation setting does not have any impact on session history accessed from the Agent and Agent History applications, which is maintained separately. |
