CloudView Administration Console is the main
interface for configuring data sources, indexing options and search processes
in the Exalead CloudView platform.
To access, go to the product’s
BASEPORT+ 1 (for example, if the installation is at http://host:10000 ,
admin will be at http://host:10001/admin ). Log in with the user app-admin and password exalead .

Composite widgets can be created with the standard widget library to handle very specific needs. Your new composite widgets
are added to the Widgets >
Composite Widgets group. They can then be reused as any other widget on any page of your application.
Updating a composite widget updates all its instances at once, which is useful when the same widgets are repeated on every page
(for example, menus, headers, etc.).
-
Facets
are used to narrow search results. Use them to drill-down into an area,
such as language, author, or file type. They are typically used in dashboard
analytics widgets, or in the Refinements panel for enterprise search.
- Feeds
are generic content fetchers for heterogeneous sources. The Mashup API
retrieves and searches hits from feeds and returns the results in standard
Atom format. Feeds can also be enriched using nested and/or parallel
requests.
-
Mashup API is the API which retrieves the contents of data sources to make them accessible to the data feeds.
Note that Mashup Builder Premium
also uses other APIs for
non-Exalead CloudView
feeds (for example, FlickR search).
-
Mashup UI is the search front-end of the
Exalead CloudView
solution.
-
MEL Functions (Mashup Expression Language)
are dynamic variable expressions which allow you to construct text that
contains dynamic content from your feeds, for example, ${feeds["persons"].metas["name"]} .
These expressions provide much more than just dynamic variables and support
common operations that would usually require editing JSP files.
-
Triggers can be added to the applications created with a
Mashup Builder Premium instance.
They allow you to launch specific actions and alter the default behavior of feeds, widgets and pages.
-
Widgets
are the graphic components which build up the
Mashup Builder. There are widgets
for:
-
Creating search forms
-
Displaying search results in different forms (lists, tables, charts,
maps...)
-
Controlling search refinements (facets)
For complete widget descriptions, see the Widget Reference.
