Incident Clustering
Enterprise IT's Copilot leverages advanced machine learning techniques, algorithms, and large language models to categorize incident data into clusters based on similarities in symptoms, descriptions, priority levels, and other parameters. This proactive approach helps you identify potential problems, potential major incidents, major incidents and other priority 1 incidents.
To view the Incident Cluster, perform the following steps:
- Navigate to Incidents > Manage Incidents from the left menu. The list of Incidents in displayed.
- Clickon the top of list. Refer the below screenshot:
Figure: Incident Clustering button
A cluster of all the Incidents is displayed in the form of bubbles. Refer the below screenshot:Figure: Incident Cluster
Details about Incident Cluster
- Each bubble in the Incident Cluster contains Incidents with similar symptom.
- The outer circle of a bubble represents the common incident symptom. When you hover over the outer bubble, the tooltip displays the common Incident symptom of the Incidents contained in that bubble. Refer the below screenshot:Figure: Outer circle tooltip in bubble
- Each of the inner circle in a bubble represents an Incident. When you hover over any of the inner bubble, the tooltip displays details about that Incident (Ticket ID, Symptom, Description). Refer the below screenshot:
Figure: Inner circle tooltip in bubble - Clicking the inner circle of a bubble will open that particular Incident record in a new tab.
- Clicking the outer circle of a bubble will open the list page of all Incidents with the same Incident symptom.
The Incident Cluster screen lists out all the Incident symptoms with the color codes on the left side of the screen. Refer the below screenshot:Figure: Incident symptoms list
Filter Incident Cluster
Filter the Incident Cluster by clicking on a particular Incident symptom on the left side list. This will strike off the Incident symptom from the list on the left side. Subsequently, the bubble of that particular Incident symptom is removed from the cluster. Refer the below sample screenshot:

Personally Identifiable Information (PII) Data
Enterprises frequently deal with sensitive Personally Identifiable Information (PII) in their communications. Accidentally sharing PII can lead to serious compliance, privacy, and security issues. To prevent these risks, it's essential to identify PII, and our system can detect and mask PII data in real-time.
Copilot has a PII detection system by leveraging natural language processing (NLP) techniques and machine learning algorithms to identify and mask sensitive PII data in the Apex application. The system will integrate seamlessly with Apex application used within the organization, providing real time monitoring and intervention.
Key features of PII Data detection system
- Real-time PII Detection: Uses Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques and machine learning models to analyze text input in real-time. The system will constantly monitor and identify occurrences of PII, such as names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, social security numbers, and more.
- Alerting and Actions: When PII is detected, a pop-up alert notifies the user to prevent accidental exposure. If the user attempts to save the record, the system shows a pop-up message identifying the PII data and provides two options. This alert prompts the user to review the sensitive information and choose whether to mask it or give consent for its use.
- Mask and Submit: The masking option signifies the user's choice to have the detected PII replaced with placeholders or generic descriptors to protect privacy using the standard masking techniques.
- Give Consent and Submit: The consent option indicates the user's consent to use the detected PII as it is without redaction and submits the data.
- Audit Trail and Reporting: The system keeps a record of detected PII instances and the actions taken. This allows organizations to prove compliance and investigate incidents if needed.
Refer the below steps on how PII Data identification functionality works in a Incident or Service Request creation flow:
- Navigate to Incident > click My Incidents. The list page of all the logged in Incidents is displayed.
- Click New to log a new Incident. Details page is displayed. Fill in all the details. If there are any personal information in any of the fields and you click Save, then a pop-up displays all the PII data. Refer the below screenshot:Figure: PII Data pop-up
- There are two options: Give Consent and Submit, and Mask and Submit. Click Give Consent and Submit, if you want to provide your consent to use the details and create the ticket. If you want to create the ticket by masking the details and then create the ticket, click Mask and Submit.
- Everywhere in the application the details are masked for this record. Refer the below screenshots:
