Control where an AI skill appears
Every AI skill is authored in the AI-skills editor in Settings. For the rest of the Playground (the skill rail, the System AI group, the Default effort selector, and the test runner) see Manage AI skills in the Playground. The Where it appears tab controls where a published skill shows up for your users: which surfaces offer it as a launch point, and the conditions under which it is offered. Getting this right means a skill appears exactly where it is useful and stays out of the way everywhere else.
Surfaces
Section titled “Surfaces”Pick the surfaces a skill launches from: for example the Business Modeling page, the Data Vault canvas, Catalog, or Knowledge. A skill only ever appears on the surfaces you select here.
Selection requirements
Section titled “Selection requirements”A skill can require that the user has something selected before it is offered: a table, an entity, a model, or another object the skill works on. When Selection requirements are set, the skill stays hidden until a matching selection exists, then becomes available. This keeps selection-driven skills (the ones that enrich or analyze a specific object) from appearing when there is nothing for them to act on.
Only show when nothing is selected
Section titled “Only show when nothing is selected”Turn this on to make a skill appear only while the user has not selected anything on the surface. It is useful for “start from scratch” skills, for example Suggest business domains, that stop being relevant once a domain, model, or entity is selected. This toggle is disabled while Selection requirements are set, because the two conflict: a skill cannot both require a selection and hide when a selection exists.
