Customer indexing
Customer indexing enables searching on Commerce customer data. Every time a customer is created or updated, the Commerce Engine updates the CustomersIndex
list, which in turn triggers an update to the Customer index (commerce_customrs_index
). The Search service uses this index for customer look-ups performed from the business tools.
The following fields are stored in the Customer index:
-
customerid
: unique identifier for the customer -
email
: customer’s email address -
status
: customer’s account status -
firstname
: customer’s first name -
lastname
: customer’s last name -
datecreated
: the date when the customer was added to the system -
dateupdated
: the date when the customer’s account was last updated -
articfactstoreid
: the ID for the environment where the customer was created
By default, the indexer runs every ten minutes.
