    Fusion UI Tour

    The Fusion UI gives you easy access to all Fusion features.

    The UI service utilizes the API service, so each UI feature has an API equivalent. For programmatic access to the features you see in the UI, see the API Reference Guide.

    Logging in

    The Proxy service runs on port 6764 by default. Access the Fusion UI through the Proxy service. To log in, point your browser to this port on the Fusion host, for example, http://FUSION_HOST:FUSION_PORT/.

    When you are the first user to log in:

    Fusion prompts you to set the password for the "admin" account and agree to the license terms. All other accounts must be created by an admin.

    Set the admin password

    The first time you log in:

    Fusion opens the Quickstart, to give you a demonstration of Fusion’s most basic features. You can click Exit the Quickstart to close it and go to the Fusion launcher.

    You can open the Quickstart at any time by navigating to the Fusion launcher and clicking New here? Get started…​.

    The Fusion workspace

    You can reach the Fusion workspace by clicking on any app in the launcher. When you enter the Fusion workspace, you find all the tools you need to configure the selected app:

    • On the left side are the app tool menus, where you can find tools for working with your app.

    • System-wide tools are at the top of the UI. With the exception of the Collections tool, which allows you to switch between collections for your app, these tools do not concern your app specifically.

    On the left side of the screen are six menus where you can find tools for working with your app:

    1. Indexing Indexing (getting data in)

      The Index Workbench is the primary tool for getting data into your app through the Fusion UI. It provides an all-in-one view of the components of a datasource. You can also access those components individually through this menu.

    2. Querying Querying (getting data out)

      For getting data out, the Query Workbench is the main tool. It shows you a live preview of search results while you configure and fine tune your query pipelines.
