Select the active model

Select the radio button in the Active column to set the organization-wide model. Assistant chat, AI generation, and reports all use this model, and an Active badge appears beside its name.

The same value appears in the model display in assistant chat. Only an administrator can change it.

AI features stop when there is no active model

If no model is registered or selected as active, AI generation on each screen is blocked and displays instructions to register and select a model.

Edit or delete a model

Select Edit or Delete from the row action menu.

Deleting the active model stops AI features

Model deletion cannot be undone. Deleting the active model also clears the active selection. Assistant, AI generation, and report features remain unavailable across the organization until another active model is selected.
