Last modified by Tom Jardine on 06/11/2025, 14:23

The following functionality areas provide administrators with additional tools to further configure the system:

Database Connections

By creating Database Connections, relevant connection settings can be saved and made available across different areas of the solution.

Cloud File System

The Cloud File System functionality allows users, with the relevant permissions, to import files from a third-party cloud storage account into the solution. This negates the requirement for local file storage under certain circumstances.

Targeting

The Targeting functionality provides the ability to create Targets based on key data items to help monitor, maintain and measure key performance indicators.

Currency Management

Using the Currencies functionality, monetary conversions can be setup within Indexes.

Twitter Configuration

Through Twitter integration, key information from the social media site can be Indexed for further analysis.

Interface Customisation

The appearance of the solution is fully customisable using the Skinning and Colour Palette options.

Metadata Web Services Integration

Metadata web services provide the programming interface to enable interaction between CXAIR and third-party software applications.

The web services offer open, platform-independent APIs which allow applications to access metadata relating to the core Search Engine and Index structures, while exposing interfaces that allow these applications to construct queries. These then initiate CXAIR queries or reports in a secure and non-invasive manner.

Remote Servers

Configuring a remote server allows Indexes to be exported to other remote CXAIR instances.

Extension Management

CXAIR is pre-configured with adapters for the most common extension and MIME types. Administrators can further extended Indexing compatibility as new extension and MIME types are created.
