Update Entry [Advanced Feature]

The Update Entry dialog is where you can update an existing Entry using AI.

NOTE

To update an Entry manually, just edit it on the Entry description tab.

Fields

There are several fields you can (optionally) fill in:

• Name - The name of the Entry. This is required to complete the Entry, but you can leave it blank, and it will be generated for you along with the description.
• Type - The Type of Entry. This text box works the same as the Type field on Entries with respect to autocomplete and adding new Types.
• Species (Character only) - The spcies of the Character. This is optional. Leaving it blank will pick a random one from your configured Species list. You can also put a new species name here and it will be sent to the AI, though it won't add it to your list. Most useful if you want to include the species name in the description but it's not one of your standard ones.
• Parent (Location, Organization only) - The parent of the Entry. This is optional. Typing in the box will search for matching Locations/Organizations.
• Description - The description of the Entry. This is optional, but highly recommended if you plan to generate an image or description (Advanced Feature). The description can be a very brief description or just a list of characteristics. Any information contained in the description will be included in the generated version (if it fits).

These will all populate from any existing information on the Entry. Name, species, and description can all be generated if you leave them blank (or make them blank if they were pulled from the Entry). Type won't be generated.

Once you fill the information in the fields, hit "Generate" and the AI will create a name, species, and description (depending on what you filled in). You can hit "Generate" as many times as you want, if you don't like the results. Note that if you want to regenerate the name or species, you'll have the clear those values before rerunning.

When you have what you want, hit "Use" and the resulting values will be updated on the Entry.

Add to Current Session

This option is only available if you are in Play Mode, and only for Characters or Locations. When checked, this Entry will be added to the Current Session after you hit "Use". Characters are added as NPCs, while Locations are added as Locations. The default value of this checkbox is controlled by the "Default 'Add to current session'" Module Setting.

Generating other fields

This dialog only populates the default description field. To AI-generate other fields, configure them for generation and then use the generate buttons next to the field names.
