Field
A Field is an attribute that you expect will give specific details about the intent expressed by the end-user, such as a time, date, or number.
Each Task may have a distinct set of Fields associated with it.
Every Field has a Field Type associated with it. For example: for the task orderStatus, a relevant Field for might be orderStatus_orderNumber with a Field Type of orderNumber.
Fields are then used in Samples to train the Assistant model on where to look for the given attributes. For example, I want to know if my order {orderStatus_orderNumber} shipped.
