Difference in ANIO Behavior: File Selection Required in Application but Not in Partner Portal ?

Hello,

We have set up an on-premises M-Files server. The application is installed on the server, and other machines are connected to it. Our license type is Named User, and we are using the M-Files Business Edition.

While setting up AINO in our application, we noticed that it requires us to select a file to proceed. However, in the Partner Portal, we can ask a question in AINO without selecting a file.

Could someone please explain why there is this difference? Is it a configuration issue, or does the AINO feature behave differently between environments?

For reference, I have attached images showing the behavior in both environments.

Thank you for your help!
