After you create a scenario in QuickSight, the data that Amazon Q generates is presented in threads and blocks. A thread is a vertical chain of prompts and responses. A block is a single prompt and response pair. Each thread can contain up to 15 blocks, and each scenario can contain up to 50 blocks total across multiple threads.
When a new thread is created, a list of Amazon Q-generated prompts appears inside of a new block. When you choose one of the prompts to drill down on, Amazon Q analyzes the data that is relevant to the chosen prompt and returns a summary of all data findings, forecasts, and conclusions that can be drawn from the analysis. The following screenshot shows a block that has generated a list of prompts to be considered for a new thread analysis.
To continue the thread and dive deeper into the prompt, choose the plus sign (+) located below the block to create a new block that contains a new list of generated prompts that factor in the findings from the previous block. To start a new thread that analyzes a different aspect of the data, choose the plus sign (+) above any block in the scenario to create a new thread. The following image shows a scenario that contains multiple threads.
Blocks can be collapsed, duplicated, or deleted from a scenario, as long as the block that you want to change has finished loading. Use the following procedures to make changes to a scenario block.
