# AWS::Lex::Bot SubSlotValueElicitationSetting
<a name="aws-properties-lex-bot-subslotvalueelicitationsetting"></a>

Subslot elicitation settings.

`DefaultValueSpecification` is a list of default values for a constituent sub slot in a composite slot. Default values are used when Amazon Lex hasn't determined a value for a slot. You can specify default values from context variables, session attributes, and defined values. This is similar to `DefaultValueSpecification` for slots.

`PromptSpecification` is the prompt that Amazon Lex uses to elicit the sub slot value from the user. This is similar to `PromptSpecification` for slots.

## Syntax
<a name="aws-properties-lex-bot-subslotvalueelicitationsetting-syntax"></a>

To declare this entity in your CloudFormation template, use the following syntax:

### JSON
<a name="aws-properties-lex-bot-subslotvalueelicitationsetting-syntax.json"></a>

```
{
  "[DefaultValueSpecification](#cfn-lex-bot-subslotvalueelicitationsetting-defaultvaluespecification)" : SlotDefaultValueSpecification,
  "[PromptSpecification](#cfn-lex-bot-subslotvalueelicitationsetting-promptspecification)" : PromptSpecification,
  "[SampleUtterances](#cfn-lex-bot-subslotvalueelicitationsetting-sampleutterances)" : [ SampleUtterance, ... ],
  "[WaitAndContinueSpecification](#cfn-lex-bot-subslotvalueelicitationsetting-waitandcontinuespecification)" : WaitAndContinueSpecification
}
```

### YAML
<a name="aws-properties-lex-bot-subslotvalueelicitationsetting-syntax.yaml"></a>

```
  [DefaultValueSpecification](#cfn-lex-bot-subslotvalueelicitationsetting-defaultvaluespecification): 
    SlotDefaultValueSpecification
  [PromptSpecification](#cfn-lex-bot-subslotvalueelicitationsetting-promptspecification): 
    PromptSpecification
  [SampleUtterances](#cfn-lex-bot-subslotvalueelicitationsetting-sampleutterances): 
    - SampleUtterance
  [WaitAndContinueSpecification](#cfn-lex-bot-subslotvalueelicitationsetting-waitandcontinuespecification): 
    WaitAndContinueSpecification
```

`SampleUtterances`  <a name="cfn-lex-bot-subslotvalueelicitationsetting-sampleutterances"></a>
If you know a specific pattern that users might respond to an Amazon Lex request for a sub slot value, you can provide those utterances to improve accuracy. This is optional. In most cases Amazon Lex is capable of understanding user utterances. This is similar to `SampleUtterances` for slots.
