Configuring Data Domains

This section describes how to build graphs to configure data domains.

About configuring data domains
All data domain configuration procedures are optional.
Global Configuration Record
The Global Configuration Record (GCR) stores global configuration settings for the Endeca data domain.
Configuring attributes
The attribute schema of a data domain is defined by its Property Description Records (PDRs) and Dimension Description Records (DDRs). Standard attributes are defined by PDRs, while managed attributes are defined by both PDRs and DDRs.
Configuring record search
This topic describes how to build a graph to configure record searches.
Configuring value search
This topic describes how to create a graph that loads the configuration for value search.
Configuring relevance ranking
This topic explains how to build a graph to configure relevance ranking.
Configuring stop words
This topic describes how to create a graph that loads stop words.
Configuring the thesaurus
This topic describes how to create a graph that updates the thesaurus on the server.
Configuring precedence rules
A precedence rule suppresses refinements of an Endeca attribute until a condition is met. Suppressing these refinements simplifies navigation through the data and helps avoid information overload problems.
XML-based configuration graphs
XML-based configuration graphs use an XML file as the input to the graph.
CSV-based configuration graphs
CSV-based configuration graphs use a CSV file as the input to the graph.
Exporting and importing data domain configurations
This section describes how to export and import data domain configurations.
