I’m currently working with QuickSight Q Topics and noticed something I’d like to confirm with the community.
On the Q&A dashboard (Amazon Q), when I open the help/info panel next to the Suggested Questions, it only shows the Named Entity I created and lists the specific fields tied to that entity. However, other fields from the same dataset that are not part of that Named Entity don’t appear in the panel — even though they’re included in the Topic.
Hello @Kitin , welcome to the QuickSight community!
Your Q&A will respond to questions using your dataset. The named entities will be incorporated into the response depending on the question, but the response will not be based solely on the named entities.
In terms of dataset fields visibility, does the Q&A panel only show Named Entities and their field values, and not all available fields from the dataset?
Is there a way to show all fields or make more of them discoverable in that side panel without converting every single one into a Named Entity?
I’ve experienced the same limitation.
From my experimentation, I’ve concluded that Q&A panel only show Named Entities and their field values , and not all available fields from the dataset.
How I’ve resolved this:
Created a Data Dictionary Excel file with the columns: Column Name, Description, Sample Values.
Added it as a second dataset in the topic.
Excluded all the fields, to not be used in user questions.
Created a named entity for Data Dictionary named description for all columns.
