Table of Contents
New Features
Dynamic Prompt
A new feature “Dynamic Prompt” is now available in Copilot4DevOps Plus which can be accessed from the respective modules (“Version Package” & “Smart Docs”) tool bar and work item context menu as well. It can also be accessed from “Queries”, “Backlog” tabs and “Work item context menu”.
It allows users with a more open approach to enter the prompt of their choice and perform any desired action through dynamic prompt and the result is then generated accordingly.
In this function there are two tabs “Prompt” and “Result”. Under the “Prompt” tab, select the desired Query 1 and Query 2 and their corresponding Fields from the dropdown. Check the “For each item in” checkbox for either Query 1 or Query 2, or both, if processing one work item at a time is necessary. Users can enter the prompt of their choice and choose to generate the result. The result is generated according to the prompt and id displayed under the “Result” tab. If any of the “For each item in” checkboxes are checked, a confirmation popup will appear containing a checkbox with the label “Don’t ask again”. On clicking the checkbox, the popup is not opened again until the cookies are cleared. Click on the copy button to copy the generated result. It also provides user to “Create work item” and publish work items within ADO projects/teams and VPM/Smart Docs grids.
The “Prompt” tab’s toolbar includes options to create new prompts, preview prompts with context input, save or save as prompts with custom names, and open existing prompts, allowing users to rename or delete prompts from the context menu.
Pseudocode
Pseudocode is a high-level description of a computer algorithm or program, using structured language resembling a programming language, but without adhering to specific syntax rules. Copilot4DevOps Plus can generate pseudocode for input work item data.
Through this function in Copilot4DevOps Plus, user can select the desired work item HTML field(s) along with the title from “Input parameters” dropdown to access the data to generate Pseudocode. The data is displayed in two panels for this function as below:
- Left Panel: The selected work item field(s) original data is displayed in this panel under field wise heading respectively.
- Right Panel: On clicking “Generate”, the Pseudocode is generated and displayed in this panel.
Users can opt to “Copy” the generated data in HTML format to place elsewhere as well. Additionally, they can add generated pseudocode to a selected work item HTML field using options like “Add to bottom,” “Add to top,” “Replace,” or create a new work item with the generated Pseudocode. Upon publishing this work item, it can be included in the ADO project/team. If permitted based on the template configuration, it may also be added to the “Version Package” and “Smart Docs” grids. There is an option of providing additional instructions that provide users with a further option and ease of appending any custom instruction that he/she might want to add to generate the result.
