  • Content Indexing

    • Retrieval and indexing of the following Jive object types:

      • Spaces (also known as Communities)

      • Groups

      • Projects (with related Tasks and Checkpoints)

      • People and their profiles

      • Direct messages

      • Ideas (private and public)

      • Videos (private and public)

    • Support for phrase substitution

    • Support for tags and categories

  • Security

    The connector indexes the permissions on Jive objects. Consequently, Coveo search results only contain Jive objects that the end-user can access within the Jive communities. Permission indexing is done using an optional plugin.

    Note: You cannot install the Coveo plugin in Jive Cloud.

  • Incremental refresh

    The connector periodically queries Jive for the latest edits, keeping the index content up-to-date.

    Notes:

    • CES 7.0.8691+ (December 2016) The incremental refresh takes account of deleted events (requires the Coveo plugin) (see Installing the Coveo Plugin on Your Jive Server).

    • CES 7.0.8541– (September 2016) A source full refresh or rebuild is required to remove deleted events from the index.

    • For Jive 8 (CES 7.0.8047+ (December 2015)) and 9 (CES 7.0.8996+ (June 2017)) spaces, due to a Jive REST API limitation, only the first level of comments on documents and replies on discussions are indexed by an incremental refresh, meaning that comments on comments and replies on replies cannot currently be retrieved unless performing a full refresh or source rebuild.

    • Since the Jive REST API does not provide the list of deleted File items, a source full refresh or rebuild is required to take the deletion of File items into account.
