Overview
The Show Suggestions dialog is available from both the Action menu on the Ontology Card as well as the Action menu on the individual MSO Cards. The dialog shows all the suggestions for further enrichment of the MSOs found during the Ontology/MSO Discovery process allowing the user to either Accept or Reject each suggested item. This topic focuses on the Show Suggestions options for individual MSOs.
Suggestions
If the Show Suggestions dialog is opened from the Ontology Card, then a list of the MSOs for which suggestions are available will be shown on the left side of the dialog. If the same dialog is opened from the MSO Card, it only shows suggestions relevant to that MSO.
Users can Search MSOs and Filter MSOs based on which MSOs have Suggestions. For each MSO entry, users will seeā¦
XX - Suggestions remaining to be acted on
0 - No more Suggestions for MSO
xx - Suggestions that have been Accepted for MSO
xx - Suggestions that have been Rejected for MSO
The Suggestions will be displayed based on the following categories. The Filter icon next to the Accept All button will allow the user to only show a specific category if required.
RELATIONSHIP - links that can be created between MSOs.
WORDS - that can be used when asking Natural Language Questions of the data using the Easy Answers solution.
TRAIT - for additional functionality, behaviors, and automatic visualization of the data.
Some suggested items may have additional options to allow the user to view details about the suggestion before accepting or rejecting it. Also, a confidence score will be displayed for some items to guide the user of the relevance/accuracy of the suggestion.

When the Accept button is clicked for an item, the suggestion will be moved to the History tab and the MSO will be updated with the enrichment feature. When the Reject button is clicked, the suggestion will also be moved to the History tab, but the MSO will not be updated.

History
The History tab will show all previously suggested items that the user has either Accepted or Rejected on the Suggestions tab. If previously Rejected, the user can also Accept the item from the History tab. A previously accepted suggestion cannot be changed on the History tab. Such an update will need to be done by editing the MSO configuration directly. See Editing an MSO.
