It seems like you're having trouble finding the predefined data types when creating an entity in Voiceflow. Here are the steps to ensure you can access the predefined data types:
1. Click on the 'New entity' button located in the upper right area of the screen within the Entities CMS interface.
2. A dialog box will appear prompting you to define the new entity.
3. Enter a name for the entity in the 'Name' field. The name should represent the kind of information the entity will hold, like "city_name" or "product_type".
4. Choose a 'Data type' from the drop-down menu. This could be 'Custom' for unique data types or something predefined like 'Number', 'Date', etc.
If you are only seeing 'Custom' and not the predefined data types, it might be due to a few reasons:
- Platform-Specific Limitations: Ensure that the platform you are using supports predefined data types. For example, some platforms like Dialogflow CX or IBM Watson may not support built-in entities.
- System-Defined Entities: Voiceflow has 14 predefined entity types for English-based projects, including NAME, EMAIL, PHONENUMBER, PERCENTAGE, GEOGRAPHY, NUMBER, TEMPERATURE, DIMENSION, DATETIME, CURRENCY, AGE, URL, and ORDINAL. Ensure that your project settings are configured correctly to access these entities.
If these steps do not resolve the issue, it might be a specific configuration or a platform-related limitation.
For more detailed information on creating and managing entities, you can refer to the Entities Documentation.
Don't use entities, just use a set ai block to find / verify your entities.
