Adding a Dynamic Parameter to a Connector Source

Dynamic parameters apply to a single source and are created in the Add Source page. They are used to adapt indexing to a specific repository.

Before adding dynamic parameters, you must first ensure that a connector is configured to allow dynamic parameters to be added sources of this type.

To allow the creation of dynamic parameters for a connector

  1. On the Coveo server, access the Administration Tool (see Opening the Administration Tool).

  2. Select Configuration > Connectors.

  3. In the Connectors page, click the connector for which you want to enable the addition of dynamic parameters to sources using this connector.

  4. In the page that appears, in the Options section, select the Allow custom parameters check box.

  5. Click Apply Changes.
