Account Preferences
These settings control the default mail server for the SendMail command, source control management, and AI account configuration used with the Find by Description Preview.
Starting with EPF 26.2.1, these settings are also for specifying the account information for the third-party large language model (LLM) required by the Find by Description feature, which enables you to use an AI model to assist with your testing. Please note that use of this feature may incur additional costs in the form of tokens through your AI provider. For more information on tokens, see AI Model (LLM) Token Usage.
