How do I change my input? Copied!
Navigate to the Global Input Library, located in the top-left corner of the screen, and hit Edit.
When do I need to add an input? Copied!
You need to add an input during the first step, or whenever you are adding a net-new input (rather than using an output generated from a previous step).
I replaced an input with a file that has different formatting — how do I get the agent to work with the new file? Copied!
If the replacement input has different formatting or structure, you will likely need to reprompt each step of the agent.
Can I edit a version once I’ve saved it? Copied!
You can always edit the agent. Once you make edits and save again, it will give it a new version number. This is to preserve the audit trail and to maintain a historical version that you can return to as needed. If you need to revert to an older version, you can make the older version ‘active’ and it will make that version the active one, and assign a new version number.
For a closer look at how drafts and saved versions differ, see Understanding Drafts vs. Saved Versions in FloQast Transform.
I lost my draft — how do I get it back? Copied!
No need to panic! To recover your draft, go to the top-right corner of the screen, click on the Version dropdown, and select the draft. Then, click the three dots (…) icon next to it and select View.
How do I move my agent from Pending to Live? Copied!
- Click the gear icon in the top-right.
- Set agent visibility to Live and click Save.
How do I straighten the lines / center my view in the Visual Agent Builder? Copied!
There is a menu at the bottom of the screen with a few icons. The broom icon will straighten lines and center your screen. It will also clean up any unused steps that were created and are floating freely.
My formula and formatting changes aren’t showing — why can’t I see them in the preview? Copied!
Currently, formulas and formatting do not display in the preview window. You can download the file and view the formulas and formatting in Excel (be sure to click ‘Enable Editing’ in your Excel).
Can I copy headers and tabs from the preview? Copied!
No, the Preview Window is strictly a visual mockup of your files and does not contain the same functionality as Excel.
Can I attach an output to a reconciliation or checklist? Copied!
You can send outputs to Reconciliations / Checklists (in Beta).
Can I feed in bank info with Trovata like I do for AI Matching? Copied!
No, but you can bring in bank details with BAI2 instead.
