Why is "Update the search index to include the desired field" the correct answer?
When configuring a retriever in Data Cloud for PDF file ingestion, all necessary fields must be included in the search index. If a required field is missing, the correct action is to update the search index to ensure it is available for retrieval.
Key Considerations for Fixing Missing Fields in Data Cloud Retrievers:
Search Index Controls Which Fields Are Searchable
The search index defines which fields are indexed and accessible to the retriever.
If a field is missing, it must be added to the index before it can be queried.
Ensures Complete and Accurate Data Retrieval
Without indexing, the retriever cannot reference the missing field in AI responses.
Updating the index makes the field available for AI-powered retrieval.
Supports AI-Grounded Responses
Agentforce relies on Retriever-Augmented Generation (RAG) to ground AI responses in searchable Data Cloud content.
Ensuring all relevant fields are indexed improves AI-generated answer accuracy.
