Step 1: Enable Ontology and Text to SQL

- Toggle “Text2SQL” to ON and select
Step 2: Enable Ontology Editing
- In the same settings panel, toggle “Ontology Editing” to ON
- This gives Ana permission to create and modify your ontology
Step 3: (Optional) Enable Auto Approve
- Toggle “Auto Approve” to ON if you want Ana to make changes without asking for approval each time
- Leave it OFF if you want to review each change before it’s applied (recommended for beginners)
- Select the database connector you want to build an ontology for

Recommended Workflow
We recommend the following workflow for building an Ontology with the in-chat editor:- Work with Ana in Text2SQL mode until you arrive at an interesting definition, data export, or plot
- Ask Ana in the same thread to add this metric to its ontology
