Schedule Regular Content Crawls of Semantic Model Content

It’s the administrator’s job to select which folders to crawl and schedule when and how often to crawl the content.

1. Click Console.
2. Click Search Index.
3. On the Data Model tab of the Configure Crawls page, select Enable Data Model Crawl.
4. In the User to Run Crawl As field, enter an administrative user.
   The visibility of data and metadata in search results is controlled by the access rights of the administrative user.
5. For Languages, select all the languages for which you want to create indexes.
   Crawl results are added to the index in the languages that you specify. For example, if your company's headquarters are in the United States, and you have offices in Italy, then you can choose English and italiano to create an indexes in both English and Italian.
6. In the Schedule section, select the date and time to begin the crawl.
7. Select how often the crawl runs by providing values in the Run Every and Frequency fields.
   By default the data model is crawled once daily. When semantic models are updated, you must adjust the next index time to incorporate these updates.
8. Select which subject areas get indexed in the Select Data Models to Index section.
   By default, all metadata of all subject areas are included in the index. You can select which subject areas, tables, and columns in the subject areas are indexed by expanding the tree of subject areas.
   Any element in the hierarchy provides three options:

   • Index Metadata Only: This is the default selection. This indexes only the metadata associated with the element. For example the column “Product”, “Order” or metric names such as “# of Orders”.

   • Index: Use this selection for indexing both the metadata and the data values. This is applicable only to Dimension or Attribute columns. For example, if you select this on “Product” column, then the metadata about Product as well as data values like "iPad", "iPod", "iPhone" are also indexed.

   • Don’t Index: Use this selection to exclude subject areas, tables or columns completely from the index.

9. Click the Save icon in the upper right-hand corner.
