Google Search Appliance: Getting the Most from Your Google Search Appliance 59
Chapter 6
Essentials Chapter 6
Using the Admin Console
After the search appliance has been installed and configured, you can begin to use the Admin Console
to crawl and index content sources in your organization, as well as to enhance, fine-tune, and optimize
your search solution. The Admin Console is a web-based interface with pages that you use to set up and
manage a search appliance.
For example, to enable user alerts (see “Enabling User Alerts” on page 51), use the Serving > Alerts
page in the Admin Console. The following figure shows the Serving > Alerts page.
As shown in the figure, a navigation bar, which appears on every Admin Console page, provides easy
access to other pages.
To retain changes you make on any Admin Console page, click the Save button. If you navigate to
another page without clicking Save, your changes are lost.
Sections in this document that describe activities that use one or more Admin Console pages contain
references to those pages.
