# 3. Configure parameters and prompts

## Defining parameters

Parameters are responsible for analyzing data using AI. 

1. **Open the** [**Parameters**](https://docs.borndigital.ai/insights/workspace/design/parameters) **module**
2. **Create or import Parameters**
   1. Creating new parameters 
      1. Choose type **Custom**
      2. **Name** the parameter
      3. Select the **language** in which the definition will be written
      4. Write a **definition** that will be used for the analysis
      5. Select the expected **output** **type** of the analysis
      6. Write a **list of values** that should be used as an output. Each of them needs to be confirmed using the "Enter" keyboard key. 
      7. Write a **fallback value** for cases where the analysis will fail and will not produce the desired output, using the list of values
   2. Importing parameters
      1. Use the **import** button
      2. Select the parameters file you want to import

### Defining the flow connector parameter

This parameter passes values from the Insight project to the flow.

1. **Open the** [**Parameters**](https://docs.borndigital.ai/insights/workspace/design/parameters) **module**
2. Create a **new parameter**
3. Choose type **Flow parameter**
4. Select a **project to connect** (it is highly recommended to select a [proxy flow project](https://docs.borndigital.ai/insights/building-new-projects/1.-create-digital-agent-flow-projects#create-a-proxy-flow-project)) to which you would like to pass data 
5. **Select trained version** that is to be used for the analysis (usually, the latest is enough)
6. **Name** the flow connector parameter to be referred to from the selected flow project
7. (Optional): Specify **output variables** if you need the passed data processed by the flow and then used back in the Insights part (visualisation, etc.)
8. (Optional): Enable **send from previous prompts to the flow** if you want to publish previous prompts and their values to the flow, but not transcription or the mail text
9. (Optional): Enable **should process email attachments** to let the flow inspect and use email attachments

## **Defining Prompts**

Prompts combine parameters into logical groups. 

1. **Open the** [**Prompts**](https://docs.borndigital.ai/insights/workspace/design/prompts) **module**
2. **Create or import Prompts**
   1. Creating new Prompts 
      1. **Name** the parameter
      2. Select the **language** in which the prompt should be processed
      3. Select **parameters** individually (user-created, imported, or predefined/hardcoded ones)**,** or optionally use any of the **predefined parameter group**s
      4. (Optional): Select the **previous parameter** if you wish to pass a value of the selected parameter (for example, a summary of the transcription or a text) as input for this prompt
      5. (Optional): Change **instructions** if you need to change output specifics
      6. (Optional:) Add any **condition** to run the prompt based on the selected parameters and values
      7. (Optional:) Change a **temperature** value if you want the output to be stricter or more creative
      8. (Optional:) Change the model **provider** if you need to use a different one
   2. Importing prompts
      1. Use the **import** button
      2. Select the prompts file you want to import
