本頁說明如何編寫有效的提示，以供 Looker 的 Conversational Analytics API 資料代理程式使用。這些提示是您使用 system_instruction 參數定義為字串的撰寫內容。
關於 Looker 中撰寫情境的注意事項
Looker 開發人員也可以使用 LookML 參數，直接在 Looker 模型中定義部分內容。資料代理程式會從這些 LookML 定義中收集適當的脈絡，您不必在系統指令的鍵定義中重新定義這些脈絡。
資料代理程式可從下列 LookML 參數衍生背景資訊：
description：這個 LookML 參數只會定義欄位的說明，對應於您可以在fields和measures鍵中定義的說明。synonyms：這個 LookML 參數只會定義欄位的同義字，對應於您在fields和measures鍵中定義的同義字。relationship：這個 LookML 參數會定義已聯結檢視區塊之間的join關係。
系統指令主要元件範例
以下章節提供 Looker 系統指令主要元件的範例。這些鍵包括：
tablesfieldsmeasuresrelationshipsgolden_queriesgolden_action_plansglossariesadditional_descriptions
如要瞭解這些重要元件，請參閱「使用撰寫的內容引導代理程式行為」說明文件頁面。
使用 tables 描述資料
下列 YAML 程式碼區塊顯示表格 order_items 的 tables 鍵基本結構：
- tables:
- table:
- name: order_items
- tags:
- ecommerce
- transaction
使用 fields 說明常用欄位
下列 YAML 程式碼範例說明 orders_items 表格的 total_sale_price、total_gross_margin、created_month_name、30_day_repeat_purchase_rate 和 count 等重要欄位：
- tables:
- table:
- name: order_items
- synonyms:
- sales
- line items
- items sold
- orders
- fields:
- field:
- name: total_sale_price
- description: "The total monetary value from items sold. Corresponds to 'Revenue'."
- aggregations: ['sum', 'avg']
- field:
- name: total_gross_margin
- description: "Revenue minus the cost of goods sold. Corresponds to 'Profit'."
- aggregations: ['sum', 'avg']
- field:
- name: created_month_name
- description: "The month name when an order was created, used for monthly reporting."
- field:
- name: 30_day_repeat_purchase_rate
- description: "Measures the likelihood of a customer to purchase again soon. Corresponds to 'Buying Propensity'."
- aggregations: ['avg']
- field:
- name: count
- description: "A count of order items."
- aggregations: ['sum']
在本範例中，欄位 synonyms 已在基礎 LookML 中定義，因此不需要在此重新定義。
使用 measures 定義業務指標
舉例來說，您可以將資料表計算 profit 定義為收益減去費用的計算，如下所示：
- tables:
- table:
- name: order_items
- measures:
- measure:
- name: profit
- description: Raw profit (earnings minus cost).
- exp: earnings - cost
- synonyms: gains
使用 relationships 定義資料表聯結
舉例來說，您可以定義「訂單項目探索」的 order_items 資料表與 users 資料表之間的 order_items_to_users 關係，如下所示：
- relationships:
- relationship:
- name: order_items_to_users
- description: >-
Connects customer order data to user information with the user_id and id fields to allow an aggregated view of sales by customer demographics.
- relationship_type: many-to-one
- join_type: left
- left_table: order_items.order_items
- right_table: order_items.users
- relationship_columns:
- left_column: user_id
- right_column: id
使用 golden_queries 提高準確度
舉例來說，您可以為 order_items 資料表中的資料定義常見分析的金鑰查詢，如下所示：
- tables:
- table:
- golden_queries:
- golden_query:
- natural_language_query: What were total sales over the last year?
- sql_query: >-
SELECT SUM(total_sale_price) AS total_sales FROM order_items
WHERE created_date >= '2024-01-01' AND created_date < '2025-01-01';
或者，您也可以使用 Looker 查詢 (而非 SQL 查詢) 定義黃金查詢，如下所示：
- tables:
- table:
- golden_queries:
- question: what were total sales over the last year
looker_query:
model: thelook
view: order_items
fields:
- order_items.total_sale_price
filters:
order_items.created_date: last year
sorts: []
limit: null
query_timezone: America/Los_Angeles
使用 golden_action_plans 規劃多步驟工作
舉例來說，您可以定義按年齡層顯示訂單明細的行動計畫，並加入 SQL 查詢和視覺化相關步驟的詳細資料，如下所示：
- tables:
- table:
- golden_action_plans:
- golden_action_plan:
- natural_language_query: What is the correlation between customer age cohort and buying propensity?
- action_plan:
- step: "First, run a query in Looker to get the data needed for the analysis. You need to group by `users.age` (NOT AGE TIER) and calculate the average `order_items.30_day_repeat_purchase_rate` for each age."
- step: "Then, pass the resulting data table to the Python tool. Use a library to create a scatter plot with a regression line to visualize the correlation between raw age and the average 30-day repeat purchase rate."
使用 glossaries 解釋企業字詞
舉例來說，您可以根據特定商家情境定義常見商家狀態和「忠實顧客」等字詞，如下所示：
- glossaries:
- glossary:
- term: Loyal Customer
- description: A customer who has made more than one purchase. Maps to the dimension 'user_order_facts.repeat_customer' being 'Yes'. High value loyal customers are those with high 'user_order_facts.lifetime_revenue'.
- synonyms:
- repeat customer
- returning customer
使用 additional_descriptions 納入其他操作說明
舉例來說，您可以使用 additional_descriptions 鍵提供有關代理程式的資訊，如下所示：
- additional_descriptions:
- text: The user is typically a Sales Manager, Product Manager, or Marketing Analyst. They need to understand performance trends, build customer lists for campaigns, and analyze product sales.
範例：在 Looker 中使用 YAML 的系統指令
以下範例顯示虛構銷售分析師代理程式的系統指令。
