    Role required: admin or ais_admin

    About this task

    AI Search indexes content from the indexed source for use with a semantic vector search. The group of semantic indexing settings for a particular indexed source is called a semantic index configuration. For more information, see Semantic index configuration for indexed sources.

    Procedure

    1. Navigate to All > AI Search Admin > AI Search Admin Home.
    2. On the Shared Configurations tab, select the Indexed Sources table.
    3. Select the indexed source that you want to configure the semantic indexing settings for.
      The selected indexed source opens in the Configuration form view.
    4. In the Semantic indexing configurations section, select Edit.
    5. On the Semantic Indexing form, select Create.
    6. On the form, fill in the fields.
      For a description of the field values, see Semantic Index Configuration form.
    7. Select Save.

      The Semantic indexing configuration form reloads and displays your selected field values and the Semantic fields section.

    8. In the Semantic fields section, follow these steps for each field that contains the content you want to include in the semantic index for the specified indexed source.
      1. Select Add.
      2. On the form, fill in the fields.
        For a description of the field values, see Semantic Index Field form.
      3. Select Add.
      The new semantic field configuration appears in the Semantic fields section.

    What to do next

    After updating the semantic index configuration settings for an indexed source, you must index or reindex the content from that indexed source. For more information, see Index the content from an indexed source for searchability.
