Custom Default Prompts in Asa Pro let you pre-set your go-to analysis question for each dataset. Once set, the prompt runs automatically whenever you start a new conversation in that project. This saves time, reduces setup, and ensures a consistent starting point for your analysis.
Key Benefits
Instant analysis: Asa Pro runs your chosen prompt right away
Project-specific: Set unique defaults for different projects
User-specific: Your default doesn’t affect anyone else
No extra clicks: Launches automatically when Asa starts
Setting a Custom Default Prompt
Before You Begin
To set a custom default prompt:
Open the dataset in Canvs
Make sure Asa Pro is active
Start a conversation to access the Prompt Library
Steps to Set a Default Prompt
Open the Prompt Library by clicking the icon next to the input field or pressing the spacebar
Browse your saved prompts
Click Mark Default next to the one you want
The button will turn green and display Default
Note: Only one default prompt can be active per dataset per user.
Managing Default Prompts
To Change a Default Prompt
Open the Prompt Library and select a new prompt using Mark Default
The new selection will replace the previous one
To Remove a Default Prompt
Click the green Default button to deselect it
Asa Pro (Beta) will return to using the standard Canvs default prompt
Prompt Types Eligible for Defaults
You can set any saved prompt as a default, including:
Canvs prompts: Available to all users
Organization prompts: Shared across your team
User prompts: Private to your account
Best Practices
Defaults are user-specific and dataset-specific: Each user can set one default prompt per dataset. Other users and projects are not affected.
Test before setting: Always run the prompt manually first to confirm it returns useful results.
Think long-term: Choose prompts that offer broad value or align with repeat use cases like trackers or brand studies.
Use organization-level prompts for alignment: Shared prompts help teams stay consistent across projects.
Defaults can be changed or removed at any time: Update your default as your needs evolve.
No default? No problem: If no custom default is set, Asa Pro will automatically run the standard Canvs prompt (Overview & Key Takeaways).
