You can configure previews to be created during content indexing jobs. Content indexing previews are copies of content indexed data in HTML format. Content indexing previews allow users to view the contents of data within search interfaces, such as Compliance Search, without restoring the original data. For example, in a preview, the content, attachments, meeting invitations, and conversation history associated with an email message are available.
If you choose not to create previews during content indexing jobs, previews are created on-demand when a user requests a preview from a search interface.
Note
To see previews of IBM Notes data or SharePoint data, you must configure content indexing previews. On-demand previews are not supported.
Content Indexing Previews
When previews are configured to be created during content indexing, an HTML copy of each item in the content indexing job is created and stored on the Search Engine. When a user clicks an item from a search interface, the preview stored on the Search Engine is sent to the search interface. This configuration results in faster previews from search interfaces, but consumes resources on the Search Engine and increases the amount of time it takes content indexing jobs to complete.
On-Demand Previews
When previews are configured to be created on-demand, no previews are created during content indexing jobs. Instead, whenever a user clicks an item from a search interface, the data is temporarily restored from backup media to the Search Engine where an HTML preview is created and then sent to the search interface. This configuration increases the amount of time it takes for previews to appear in the search interface, but decreases the space consumed by previews on the Search Engine index and decreases the amount of time it takes for content indexing jobs to complete.
