About the SharePoint Online Add-In

The SharePoint Add-in allows your SharePoint application to interact with the AutoClassifier Engine to enable tagging in SharePoint document libraries and lists.

The SharePoint Add-in is comprised of four key components:

1. SharePoint Add-In Apps:
   • These Apps resides in your SharePoint App Catalog.
     
2. IIS website:
   • This website can reside on any Microsoft IIS Server which is exposed to network access from the SharePoint site.  
   • If you are installing the AutoClassifier Engine website and the Add-in website on two different Microsoft IIS Servers, there must be network access between the servers.
     
3. Windows Service 
   • Synchronizes the SharePoint Term Store with the AutoClassifier Engine.
     
4. Windows Service
   • runs Scheduled Annotation Jobs in SharePoint.

AutoClassifier for SharePoint Online/2013/16/19/SPSE Add-In can work in one of the two modes described below. Before you continue with your installation decide which mode better fits your requirements:

• Regular Mode: AutoClassifier pushes metadata values in SharePoint Online/2013/16/19/SPSE lists and libraries if they contain columns with names that match the AutoClassifier output metadata names.
  • For example: If AutoClassifier outputs the metadata "DetectedLanguage" and the SharePoint list or library contains a column named "DetectedLanguage", then that column is populated with the value of the detected language during the annotation process.
• Search Tags Mode: AutoClassifier automatically creates columns to match the metadata processed by the AutoClassifier Processing Pipeline in SharePoint lists or libraries. This does not allow manual creation of columns as columns are created automatically
