You can also access the Command Center using URL http://<INSTANCE_HOSTNAME>/coveo/command-center/index.html, where <INSTANCE_HOSTNAME> is the name of your Sitecore instance. Non Sitecore administrators can only access the Command Center by URL (see Give Access to the Command Center).

Command Center Sections

The following is a summary of the information you can access and the actions you can perform in each section of the Command Center.

Indexing Manager

The Indexing Manager section of the Command Center provides an overview of index-related information. It lists your Coveo indexes, displays the index crawlers and the content each goes through, and the database where the information is stored.

You can initiate index rebuilding from the interface and subsequently monitor the status of the rebuild. The Indexing Manager also allows you to handpick the Sitecore fields that you want to index.

For more information about the Indexing Manager, see About the Indexing Manager.

Relevance Manager

The Relevance Manager section of the Command Center provides general information regarding Coveo Platform relevance features and direct links to those features in the Coveo Administration Console.

For more information about the Relevance Manager, see About the Relevance Manager.

Configuration Manager

The Configuration Manager section of the Command Center allows you to change the Coveo organization your Sitecore instance is linked to.

You can also modify content indexing settings, and enable or disable the Coveo for Sitecore proxy in this section.

For more information about the Configuration Manager, see Update Coveo for Sitecore Settings.
