0:06 Welcome to this IT Explainer video, part of our System module topic range.

0:10 In this video, we’ll cover the subject of search engine optimization in SLM Data.

0:16 Search engine optimization in a web application refers to the practice of optimizing the structure, content, and data within the application to improve its visibility and ranking in search engine results.

0:29 In this video, we will address what types of search engine optimization is used in SLM and how can administrators rebuild the search engine indexes in SLM.

0:44 SLM utilises an indexing process where the search engine organises information in advance to ensure quick response times.

0:52 Data is indexed based on object ID, type, and field.

0:56 When a user performs a search, the SLM data search engine retrieves keywords from the index tables, streamlining the process and eliminating the need to analyze each piece of data in SLM individually.

1:10 Administrators can rebuild index tables in SLM through the system module.

1:15 SLM has three types of index, one for objects, one for action items, and one for SLM documents, all of which function in the same way.

1:26 Rebuilding the index, administrators must select the data type of the object that they want to rebuild.

1:32 Let’s go ahead and select Site.

1:35 Let’s click on Rebuild Index.

1:38 A background task has now been created to index all objects of data type site.

1:44 So if we look at the Background Queue monitor, we can see the background task that’s been created.

1:53 Additionally, whenever an object is edited, a background task is triggered to update the index tables with the most updated data for that object, ensuring the indexes remain current.
