Valid from 5.0

The documentation below is valid from Datafari v5.0 upwards

Promolinks can be conceptually assimilated to google adwords: independently from the indexed content, it allows the search expert to display text in a dedicated place on the screen (usually on top or on the side). This display is triggered by the presence of specific terms in the search query. It works for simple terms as well as for expressions. Note that currently, you can have a maximum of one promolink per term or expression.

For instance, the illustration below shows a promolink entitled "Nice title"  which has the content “report” and is displayed because the keyword "report" was used in the search query::

You then have access to the promolink admin UI, which shows the list of all existing promolinks. You can do the following operations on the existing promolinks:

  • Delete by clicking the red button,

  • Edit by clicking  the keyword,

Using the search bar on top, you can filter out the results by typing in something and pressing enter.

To add a promolink, use the form at the bottom of the page, and fill in the fields to add a promolink.

Note that the dates are optional, that you may fill only one out of those fields, and that if you choose to fill both, the starting date must be prior to then ending date. If dates have been filled during the add, Datafari will check if, when a search is made on the matching keyword, the current date is posterior to the starting date and prior to the ending date
