Opening the .NET Interface Editor

You can access the .NET Interface Editor directly from a Coveo search interface or from the Coveo Front-End server.

Note: Only a Coveo administrator with full access or member of the Search Interface Designers role can access the .NET Interface Editor (see About Administration Roles and Assigning Users to Administration Roles).

To open the .NET Interface Editor

• From a Coveo search interface:

  1. Open the Coveo search interface that you want to modify.

  2. At the top-right corner of the search interface, in the Do more menu, select Edit this Interface.

     

     Note: The Edit this Interface option appears in the Do more menu only when you have full Coveo administrator privileges or when you are a member of the Search Interface Designers role (see About Administration Roles and Assigning Users to Administration Roles).

• From the Coveo Front-End server:

  1. Using an administrator account, connect to the Coveo Front-End server on which you want to modify a search interface.

  2. On the Windows Start menu, select All Programs > Coveo .NET Front-End 12 > Interface Editor.

  3. Select the Search Hubs tab, and in the Current Hub drop-down list on the menu bar, select the hub containing the search interface that you want to modify.

  4. Select the Search Interfaces tab, and in the Current interface drop-down list on the menu bar, select the search interface that you want to modify.

• Using the .NET Interface Editor URL:

  1. In the address bar of a browser, enter the .NET Interface Editor URL in the form:

     [Coveo_Front-End_Server]:[Port]/SearchAdmin

     The default port is 8080 but may be customized (see Ports Used By the Coveo Platform) .

     Examples: When you are logged in to the Coveo server, use: http://localhost:8080/SearchAdmin
     From any computer, use: http://MyCoveoServer:8080/SearchAdmin

     Note: If you get an error when you try to access the .NET Interface Editor from a remote computer, ensure that:

     • The URL contains the appropriate port. 

     • The firewall on the Coveo server is allowing communications for the port.

  2. In the dialog box that appears, enter your Coveo administrator user name and password, and then click OK.
