Resources for Setting Up Viva Topics and Viva Connections

Hi Mike.  Thanks for the reply.  I've posted the question on the Blog link you provided.

One other thing you may consider is that our mechanism around creating AI models for classification, auto-application of metadata, and content centric processing are really within SharePoint Syntax

Hi Mike.  I've been prevented from setting up a trial of Viva Topics due to an error that was probably caused by my typo on naming the Topic Center (typo was "Topic Centrer") that also ended up in the URL (topiccentrer). I've since corrected the typos in both the name and URL, but I think this has prevented the MS backend server to create Viva Topics in my tenant. I would like to start over by having this prior attempt deleted and have raised support tickets, but the issue has been outstanding for 2 weeks.  Is there a specialist that can help me with this.

Hi taliesin It would be raised up through your account team and/or followup on the support ticket. 

Hi Mike.  Thanks for your reply.  I've sorted this out on my own after more than 2 weeks of back-and-forth with MS Support.  I'm now trying to understand the interaction of metadata and tags with the Viva Topics AI (or through some other techniques) so I can steer AI to add specific documents to my topic cards without having to attach the documents one-by-one to the topic cards.  Also, how to programmatically access the list of topics in my topic center.

Is the MS Viva Topics team planning to have office hours? 

taliesin Hi Nelson, I do not know if they are or not. You might try their blog Microsoft Viva Blog - Microsoft Tech Community where you can message to the folks from the team who are publishing there.

MichaelGannotti I thought that Syntax was for classifying information within business forms (which is not my focus).  For years, I have been manually creating topics and links within my SharePoint Online tenant and using OneNote as a clunky way to do what I think Viva Topics is designed to do.  I've been waiting for something like Viva Topics for years and am excited about its potential.  There's a lot of marketing effort, but I'm searching for a forum for Q&A with the Viva Topics team.  Responses to Blog posts in my experience are slow.  Thanks for your responses.

Hi taliesin wish I had more to contribute around this but I am tapped out.

Hi @Mike Gannotti  No problem.  Thanks for replying.
