If 1E Virtual Assistant has not been linked with a working Shopping implementation and the Share a folder topic is selected, the Virtual Assistant identifies the end-user and displays list of all the devices assigned to him/her. The virtual agent prompts the end-user to select the device on which he/she wants to perform the action.
