### Step-by-Step Guide
1. Navigate to the 'Context' tab.
2. Ensure you are in Edit Mode.
3. Add in specific business terminology you would like Lumi to know about.
4. Add in context on how Lumi should calculate key metrics when prompted.
### Business Context Types
* An **Alias** is an alternate name, abbreviation, shorthand, or business term that Lumi should recognize as referring to a specific entity, field, value, or concept in the data.
* A **KPI** is a business metric that Lumi should calculate in a specific way when users ask analytical questions. KPI definitions should explain the logic, filters, formulas, or conditions Lumi should apply to produce the correct metric.
* A **Detail** is supporting business context that helps Lumi interpret the data correctly, but is not necessarily a metric calculation. Details usually explain business rules, time periods, classifications, or conditions that affect how Lumi should understand the data.
### Sample Examples For Reference
To help guide your input, consider these examples illustrating how to define business terminology and key metrics calculation instructions:

### Business Context Best Practices
* **Clarity Is Key.** Use clear, concise language to describe terms and calculation methods. Avoid ambiguity to ensure Lumi accurately interprets your instructions.
* **Consistency Matters.** Ensure consistency in terminology and metrics definitions across your inputs to prevent confusion and ensure reliable analytics outputs.
* **Validate Through Testing.** After inputting your business context, run test prompts to verify that Lumi correctly understands and applies the provided information. Adjust as necessary based on the outcomes.
* **Regular Updates.** Business operations and metrics can evolve. Regularly review and update your context inputs to keep Lumi's outputs relevant and accurate.
