Creating a document class subscription for watsonx summary

You can generate document summaries only after you enable watsonx summary generation for a document class or a parent class of the document.

Before you begin

Before you enable watsonx summary generation for a document class, make sure that you enable persistent text extraction for that class. For more information, see the topic Configuring text extraction for document classes.

About this task

By default, a document class is not enabled for watsonx summary generation. You need to create a document class subscription for watsonx summary generation. After you create the subscription, a document summary is automatically generated for any new documents that are added to the object store, which belong to the subscribed document class. However, you need to run a custom sweep job to generate a document summary for existing documents that were added to the object store before the subscription was created.

Procedure

  1. In the Administration Console for Content Platform Engine (ACCE), go to the object store where you want to enable watsonx summary generation.
  2. Go to Data Design > Classes > Document and select a document class.
    You can select a document class that subscribes to the Gen AI summary request event action.
  3. For the selected class, click Actions > New subscription.
  4. Enter a subscription name and click Next.
    For example, you can enter Document-Summarize as the subscription name.
  5. Select the subscription behavior Scope value as Applies to all objects of this class and click Next.
    Leave other properties as default values.
  6. Select Checkin Event and Update Event as events that trigger the subscription and click Next.
  7. Select Gen AI Summary Request Event Action as the event action for the subscription and click Next.
  8. Specify the values for additional options.
    1. Set the initial state as Enable the subscription.
    2. Select Include subclasses if you want to enable watsonx summary generation for all subclasses of the parent class.
      Tip: If you want to enable watsonx summary generation for the Document class along with subclasses, create the subscription for the Document base class and select Include sub-classes.
    3. Set Run synchronously as the subscription run mode.
    4. Leave other fields blank and click Next.
  9. Click Finish to create the subscription for watsonx summary generation.
  10. Repeat the process for all document classes where you want to enable watsonx summary generation.
