# Sentences

The number of sentences that you want the summary to include.

If you set Summary to `ParagraphConcept`, `Sentences` represents the number of paragraphs that you want the summary to contain.

For a `Concept` or `Context` Summary, if you set both the `Sentences` and Characters parameters, IDOL Server attempts to satisfy both requirements. If it cannot apply both restrictions (for example, because the only sentences that contain the best terms are longer than the character restriction), it uses only the Characters restriction. If it cannot create a concept or context summary that fits either restriction, IDOL Server returns a `quick` summary.

This parameter has no effect when you set Summary to `Concepts`.
