Content Ingestion

Search AI ingests Pages, News, and Custom Content Objects from LumApps, as well as posts from LumApps communities. Each page, post, news item, or custom content item is ingested as a separate document. Key fields in ingested content:
  • resource_type — identifies whether the record is a content object or a community post
  • doc_source_type — specifies the type of content object (page, news, or custom)
  • content — textual content from the ingested record
  • title, url, creation date, and update date are captured in their respective fields

​
Attachments

Attachments to content objects or community posts are ingested as separate records in Search AI. For the parent record, an attachment field lists all associated attachments with their name and URL. For each attachment record:
  • doc_source_type is set to attachment
  • resource_type is inherited from the parent content object
  • The record includes parent metadata: parent_name, parent_url, and parent_id
Supported attachment types: .doc, .docx, .ppt, .pptx, .pdf, .txt, .html

​
Content Filtering

Use content filtering to control which content is ingested from LumApps.
  1. Go to the Manage Content page and use the Object Type selector to specify the type of content to ingest (Page, News, Custom Object, or Community Post). Object Type selector
  2. Select Ingest Filtered Content and click Configure to apply field-based rules. Configure Rules
  3. Define field-based rules to refine ingestion further. For example, ingest only news items from the past week. Filter Example
Choose from available fields for the selected object type in the dropdown and provide operators and values. Field names must match the field names for the selected object in your LumApps account. Use logical operators to combine multiple conditions in a single rule.
