### **Auto-selection of Business View (SmartView Search)**

From 4.3.1, users need not select the relevant Business View as a first step to execute a query. SmartView Search eliminates the need to select a Business View before querying. It intuitively identifies the best-fit Business View based on your query's context, streamlining the search process.

SmartView Search in Tellius revolutionizes the way you interact with data, offering a seamless and intuitive search experience. Here's an in-depth look at its features:

1. **Entity extraction:** It identifies crucial elements like column names and values in your query, ensuring focused and relevant search results.
2. **Intent classification:** Tellius determines whether you're looking for a chart or an insight, customizing the results to fit your query's purpose.
3. **Business View shortlisting:** SmartView Search scans all accessible Business Views to find the most relevant ones for your query, removing the need for manual selection.
4. **Intelligent scoring algorithm:** It evaluates every potential Business View and ranks them based on their relevance to your query, ensuring the most suitable Business View is used for your search.
5. **Auto correction:** Automatically corrects typos in your query, ensuring accuracy in the search results.
6. **Smart chart logic:** Recommends the most appropriate chart type based on your data.
7. **TQL generation:** Translates your query into Tellius Query Language for efficient processing.
8. **Chart rendering:** Visualizes your search results for easy interpretation.
