LLM System Instructions
Form ID: (ML203000)
You use this form to create reusable system instructions, which can help centralize security, safety, and governance guidance for your prompts.
You define template instructions once and make them available to prompt engineers, who can then insert and adapt the text directly in their LLM prompts. This approach promotes consistent AI behavior, supports compliance efforts, and speeds up prompt creation across the system.
This form is available only if the AI Automation feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form.
For details, see Integration with LLM Providers: Use of System Instructions.
