What a source is

A source feeds a knowledge base on its own. Anything you add by hand instead is a one-off upload, which is exactly how the Sources tab puts it:

Connect IntELIEKonnect connectors to auto-ingest documents into this knowledge base. Upload one-off files in the Documents tab.

One knowledge base, many sources; one source, many documents​

A source is connected to a single knowledge base and can bring in any number of documents over time. Each document keeps its origin, so the Documents table badges every row either IntELIEKonnect or Manual upload — you can always tell what a source delivered from what somebody added.

The tiles on Sources​

Sources opens on a grid of source types. IntELIEKonnect is the one you use — select it to reach IntELIEKonnect connectors and connect one. The remaining tiles are not selectable, and you lose nothing by ignoring them: a connector already reaches Google Drive and other file stores.

So in practice, everything on this page is about connectors — see Choosing a connector type.

What a source carries​

Only an import connector that is Active and Connected in IntELIEKonnect can be connected here; anything else is simply absent from the list, with nothing to explain the gap. Connecting one also sets the defaults it stamps on every document it pulls in:

  • Access metadata — the audience for those documents, because a connector brings no permissions of its own. Save stays disabled while the audience is internal with no role, department or group chosen.
  • Chunking template — leave it on Auto-detect (default) unless the source is all one document type.
  • Custom tags — key and value pairs applied to every document from that source.

Pausing is not disconnecting​

The Enabled switch stops a source ingesting while leaving it connected; Disconnect removes both the connection and the settings above. Fetch now pulls straight away rather than waiting for the connector's own schedule.
