The signals store is the repository in your Lucidworks Platform workspace that holds query, click, cart-add, purchase, and facet usage signals gathered from customer interactions on your site.

Create a Signal Store

One of the tasks to use signals is to create a repository to store signals.
  1. Navigate to the the megamenu and click Signals.
    Signals store
  2. Click Create New.
    Create a signals store
  3. In the Name field, enter a unique user-defined for the signals store.
  4. In the Region field, select the geographical area for the signal store.
    This selection cannot be changed. If you need a signal store in a different region, you need to create another signal store with the other region specified.
  5. Click Create. After the signal store is created, you can configure the signals beacon.

​
Signal fields stored

If present in the signal, the information collected by the signals beacon and housed in the signals store for each signal is:
  • Product ID
  • Title
  • Image URI
  • Price

​
Technical components

The properties of each signal store include:
  • User-defined name.
  • Universally unique identifier (uuid) of the signals store.
  • Location of the signal store, which is also referred to as a data cell
The uuid and data cell define the endpoint where the signals are sent. For example, <signals_store.uuid>.signals.lucidworks.com is a CNAME to the appropriate data cell endpoint. For more information about signals, see signals.
