Manage the basic configuration of a query pipeline

The Overview tab of a query pipeline configuration allows members with the required privileges to obtain information about the actions they can achieve to improve their query pipeline relevance with Coveo Machine Learning (Coveo ML). This section also let users modify the basic information of their query pipelines.

In this section, you can:

"Leverage Machine Learning" section

If the query pipeline isn’t associated with any Automatic Relevance Tuning (ART) or Query Suggestion (QS) models, this section shows the Coveo ML models that are available to be associated with the query pipeline in the Coveo organization.

Leverage machine learning section when no ML models associated
Notes
  • You can dismiss the model association alert for a given model type by clicking the minus sign (-) that appears next to the model type that isn’t associated with the query pipeline.

  • This section currently only shows possible associations with Coveo ML ART and QS models.

  • When no models exist in the Coveo Organization, the Overview tab only allows you create a new model.

Rename a query pipeline

  1. On the Query Pipelines (platform-ca | platform-eu | platform-au) page, click the desired query pipeline, and then click Edit components in the Action bar.

  2. On the page that opens, select the Overview tab.

  3. In the Identification section, in the Pipeline name input, you can change the name as needed.

Important

When renaming a query pipeline used in production, we recommend duplicating the pipeline and and then renaming it to ensure a smooth transition and prevent any disruptions:

  1. Duplicate the query pipeline that you want to rename.

  2. Rename the duplicated pipeline.

  3. Update all query pipeline references in your configurations, API calls, search interfaces, and scripts to the new pipeline name.

  4. Test the renamed pipeline in the Content Browser (platform-ca | platform-eu | platform-au) to ensure it works correctly.

  5. Once you’ve ensured that the renamed pipeline works as expected, you can delete the original pipeline.

Manage a query pipeline description

Once a query pipeline has been created, you can add or edit its associated Description.

Define a use case for the query pipeline

Once a query pipeline has been created, you can manage its associated Use case.

This option is useful when your Coveo organization contains many query pipelines, and that these query pipelines serve different purposes. It lets you categorize the query pipeline and identify its purpose.

To define a use case for the query pipeline

  1. On the Query Pipelines (platform-ca | platform-eu | platform-au) page, click the desired query pipeline, and then click Edit components in the Action bar.

EXAMPLE

In the Query Pipeline page of the Coveo Administration Console, you have the following query pipelines:

  • Insight-Panel-Pipeline, that serves your support agent portal.

  • ACME-Commerce, that serves your Coveo-powered commerce interface.

To help Coveo administrators better manage and understand the purpose of each query pipeline, you categorize your query pipelines as follows:

Query pipeline name Use case

Insight-Panel-Pipeline

ACME-Commerce

Ecommerce

ACME-Intranet

Workplace
