Configuring Data Storage for Collaborative Widgets

With collaborative widgets (Comments, Star Rating, etc.) you can enrich your document with added data saved in the data storage.

Note: Collaborative widgets are available in Mashup Builder Premium only.

Storage in Mashup allows you to:

  • Get arbitrary chunks of data (JSON strings, images, Java objects, etc.) attached to your Mashup Builder application.

  • Delete, replace and append metas and categories to Exalead CloudView documents.

  • Store private data per user.

By default collaborative widgets only save and retrieve data from the data storage. They manage their own data display and safeguard. They do not communicate with the index. This default behavior guarantees that each action performed within the collaborative widgets will be instantaneously propagated to all search pages.

Optionally, you can choose to index storage data to improve your data model. You will then be able to apply all index features on collaborative data (analysis, processing, search, refinement, etc.). Every change made to the document will be notified to Exalead CloudView. Changes will therefore be available after the next indexing action. The elapsed time between each indexing action can be configured in the Administration Console.
