Getting Started FAQ

Start by identifying the workflow you want to improve first, such as engineering reuse, quoting, sourcing, MRO, or ecommerce product discovery. Then confirm which repositories, file types, and users are part of that first rollout.

After that, work through:

• Your deployment approach.
• Your initial file sources.
• Your indexing scope.
• Your user roles and access needs.
• Your first test searches and validation cases.

Start with the file types and repositories that are most valuable for the workflow you are trying to improve. For many teams, that means CAD files, 2D drawings, PDFs, images, and technical documents tied to active engineering or manufacturing work.

Begin with a focused but meaningful slice of data. A first rollout works best when it includes enough files to validate real search outcomes, but not so much that the initial onboarding becomes difficult to review or tune.

The best first rollout usually includes:

• A business owner for the target workflow.
• A technical or IT contact for data access and deployment coordination.
• A few real end users who can test searches and judge result quality.

Use real examples from daily work. Teams should test whether VizSeek helps them find similar parts, past drawings, reusable files, or related technical content faster than their current process.

• Review Deployment if your team is planning infrastructure or security review work.
• Use Best practices to improve data preparation and search quality.
