Navigating the Context Management User Interface

The Context Management service includes two tabs, Overview and Context Library. The functionality available from each tab is described below.

Overview Tab

This tab lists all of the context tables that have been configured in your environment. For each context table, the following information is displayed:

Column

Source

Includes both the name of the context table and the vendor from which it is sourced. Tables that you create yourself are labeled custom.

Context Type

The category of context data provided by the source.

#Items

The number of records the context table contains.

Last Updated

How long ago records were fetched from the source.

Status

Indicates whether the table is healthy, has an error, is running, or is stopped.

On the Overview tab, you can take the following actions to interact with the context tables:

  • Filter the list of tables by vendor, by context type, or by status.

  • Use the Search field at the top of the page to navigate to a specific table.

  • Click the name of a specific table in the list to open a detail page and display the data the table contains.

  • Click the Options icon (icon-options.png) to the right of a specific table and select Details to view status and attribute information for the table.

  • Click the Options icon (icon-options.png) to the right of a specific table and select Edit to configure table attributes.

  • Click the Options icon (icon-options.png) to the right of a specific table and select Delete to remove the table. You can opt to delete any custom attributes from the selected table that are not used in other context tables.

  • Click the Options icon (icon-options.png) to the right of a specific table and select Export to export the context table data. The context data is exported in a comma-separated value (CSV) format that can be downloaded. When the export is complete, you will receive a notification with a link to download the file to your local computer.
