Global Prompts is a configuration screen where administrators can define prompt text that is automatically injected into Compass's automated workflows. This allows organizations to customize AI behavior across scans without modifying individual diagnostic or definition settings.
Accessing Global Prompts
Navigate to Global Prompts from the Compass sidebar. The link is visible to users with Architect-level access or higher.
Presentation Guidance for Scans
The Presentation Guidance for Scans field accepts free-form text that is appended to the prompt sent to the AI when it automatically builds a presentation at the end of a scan.
When a scan completes all of its sessions and begins building the summary presentation, the AI receives a starting prompt that instructs it to organize findings into slides. If presentation guidance text has been configured, it is appended to that starting prompt as additional instructions.
Example Uses
- Direct the AI to emphasize specific themes (e.g., "Focus on cost trends and utilization patterns").
- Request specific chart types or layouts (e.g., "Use bar charts for comparisons across entities").
- Set a preferred tone or audience (e.g., "Write for a clinical leadership audience").
- Exclude certain topics (e.g., "Do not include pharmacy analysis in the overview slides").
How It Works
- An administrator enters guidance text on the Global Prompts screen and clicks Save.
- The text is stored as a system setting (
CompassPresentationGuidanceForScans). - When a scan finishes and triggers automatic presentation creation, the system reads this setting and appends it to the AI's starting prompt.
- The AI incorporates the guidance alongside its default instructions to structure and populate the presentation.
If the field is left empty, the default scan presentation behavior is unchanged.
Access Control
- Authenticated users can view the global prompts.
- Architects (and above) can update the global prompts.
