Adding data sources (connectors) is one of the most important steps in effectively using CogniVis. This lets you integrate your company's data from various platforms, enabling artificial intelligence to smoothly analyze and automate processes. By connecting sources, you provide CogniVis with real-time access to information, allowing delivery of personalized and precise analyses for your business.
Add a new connector
Go to the Admin Panel, located in the top right corner of the screen.
Click "Add Connector" in the menu on the left side of the screen.
Select the tool you want to connect from the available list.
Follow the instructions shown after selecting the tool—each has its own configuration process.
Detailed documentation for each connector can be found in the dedicated Connectors section in the side menu.
Finally, after entering the required data in the chosen tool, decide whether documents should be public, then click "Update".
The Documents are Public option allows sharing documents with everyone without access restrictions. This means any user can view and download them without special permissions or authorization.
You can check the status of the added connector in the "Existing Connectors" tab in the left menu.
Immediately after adding a new connector, its status may be yellow—it means you need to wait a few minutes for the connector to properly index.
On this page, you can also check when the connector was last indexed (i.e., when its data was last updated).
Updating a connector
Automatic indexing
CogniVis automatically reindexes sources every 10 minutes to keep data current with changes in the source.
Indexing update
This feature fetches and indexes all documents added or modified since the last successful indexing process.
To use it, open the selected connector, click Run Indexing at the top right, then Run Update to start the process.
Full re-indexing
This option performs a complete reindexing of all documents from the source. The process may take longer depending on the number of documents.
To do this, follow the same steps but select the Run Complete Re-indexing button.
Pruning (cleaning)
This option removes from the index documents that no longer exist in the source. This keeps the index accurate and free of outdated entries. Pruning does not remove documents still present in the source—it affects only those deleted or unavailable.
To run it, follow the same steps but select the Pruning button.
