Updating an Index created from the AI Studio

Question

Hi,

I have created a "chat with your data" app using Azure AI Studio. As part of this, I've loaded files into a Container within a Blob Storage. As part of the interface, the files were indexed and I have the demo working.

I now want to add more documents to the blobstorage container and re-index.

I cannot figure how to easily do this.

I've tried finding the job and re-submitting, I've tried cloning the job, etc. but this doesn't seem to work properly or reliably.

I have been able to completely create a new index and change the app environment variable to point to the new index, but this seem inefficient.

Suggestions on this?

Thanks,

Warren

Hello Warren English,

When creating a data source with Blob, you can select the Indexer schedule as shown on the screen. The Indexer will import Blob data into Azure AI Search at scheduled intervals based on the settings.

Once the Indexer is established, you can also directly modify the schedule settings through the Azure AI Search Portal.

Best regards,
Charlie
