What Are Use Cases?

A use case is the purpose a session served, such as document drafting or code review. Velatir identifies the use cases of every session once it ends. A session can serve several use cases, and each one carries a score for how closely the session matched it. Use cases appear on Sessions, in Insights, on the Workspaces page, in Reports, and in an optional summary notification.

Declared and Undeclared Use

On their own, use cases show what AI is used for. Once you declare what a service is meant for, Velatir also compares each session against that.
Use is only flagged as undeclared once its service has declared use cases. Until then it shows as Not measured.

Declare What a Service Is For

Administrators declare use cases on services that are already declared in the inventory.

Open the service

Open Inventory. On the service under Declared services, select Declared use cases.

Add use cases

The dialog lists the use cases identified on that service so far. Add the ones that fit your policy, or remove ones you declared before.

Save

Select Done. New sessions on the service are compared against the declared set.
Members who can view the inventory but not change it see the same dialog read-only.
You can also declare a use case straight from a session. See On a session below.

Workspaces

Workspaces inherit the use cases declared for the organisation, and nested workspaces inherit from the workspace above them. Each workspace can adjust what it inherits:
  • Undeclare an inherited use case for that workspace.
  • Declare further use cases for that workspace only.
  • Return to inheriting to drop its own changes.
To change them, open Workspaces, expand a workspace, and select Edit use cases on a service under Declared services. The dialog groups use cases as Inherited, Inherited but undeclared, and Declared for workspace. A change made at the organisation still reaches every workspace, unless that workspace changed the same use case itself. Each service in the list shows which use cases are declared or undeclared for the workspace. Open the badge to see each use case’s share of the workspace’s sessions on that service.

Where Use Cases Appear

The Sessions list has a Use cases column. Undeclared use cases are listed first. Select a use case to open the session with its Session summary.The summary lists the Identified use cases, grouped into Declared for and Undeclared for the session’s service. A declared use case shows whether it was declared for the organisation or for a workspace.Administrators can declare an undeclared use case from here, and choose whether it applies to the organisation or to one of the workspaces the session belongs to. They can also remove a declared use case at the level it was declared.
The General view has a Use cases section. It shows how all use splits across Declared, Mixed, Undeclared, and Not measured, which use cases are declared or undeclared, and how the undeclared share compares with the previous period.Mixed means a use case is declared for some services or workspaces and not others.Service cards and workspace cards also have a Use cases tab. See Insights.
Reports can include a Use cases section. See Reports.

Use Case Summary

Each member can turn on a regular summary of declared and undeclared use. It shows the declared and undeclared shares, how they changed since the previous period, the most undeclared use (use case, service, and workspace), and a link to the matching sessions.

Open the settings

Open Notifications in the sidebar and select Settings.

Choose scope and period

Under In app use case summary, set the Scope to the organisation or a workspace, and the Period to every week, every two weeks, or every month.

Choose where it arrives

Turn on In app use case summary to see it in Notifications. For email, turn on I want to receive e-mails relevant to this organisation and select A use case summary. Then select Save changes.
A summary arrives after each period ends. A workspace scope includes the workspaces nested under it. When nothing in the period was undeclared, no summary is sent.
