Define an indexed source attribute to configure the AI Search content indexing behavior for all records on a source table.

## Before you begin

Role required: ais_admin

## About this task

For details on available indexed source attributes and values, see [List of AI Search indexed source attributes](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/31YVVt3_RXbJAMAZGuRbLQ "You can adjust indexing behavior for an AI Search indexed source by configuring indexed source attributes and values.").

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllAI SearchAI Search IndexIndexed Sources.
2. Open the indexed source that you want to define an attribute for.
3. In the Advanced Configuration related list, select New.
4. On the Indexed Source Attribute form, fill in the fields.  
   For a description of the field values, see [Indexed Source Attribute form](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/15cPFMcV_ZjycftJQiK38g "The Indexed Source Attribute form enables you to create an indexed source attribute for an indexed source in AI Search.").
5. Select Submit.

## Result

The new indexed source attribute appears in the Advanced Configuration related list.

## What to do next

To make the new indexed source attribute take effect, perform a full table reindex for the indexed source. For details on this procedure, see [Perform a full table index or reindex for a single AI Search indexed source](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/bwrBDfHjTH51BUWqtnLaOg "Make content from an internal indexed source searchable by performing a full table index. This procedure indexes existing records from the source table and any child tables configured for indexing. You can manually reindex content from an internal indexed source by repeating this procedure.").
