# Create an indexed source attribute in AI Search

Define an indexed source attribute to configure the AI Search content indexing behavior for all records on a source table.

## Before you begin

Role required: ais\_admin

## About this task

For details on available indexed source attributes and values, see [List of AI Search indexed source attributes](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/platform-administration/ai-search/indexed-source-attrs-ais.md).

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **AI Search** > **AI Search Index** > **Indexed Sources**.

2.  Open the indexed source that you want to define an attribute for.

3.  In the Advanced Configuration related list, select **New**.

4.  On the Indexed Source Attribute form, fill in the fields.

    For a description of the field values, see [Indexed Source Attribute form](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/platform-administration/ai-search/indexed-source-attribute-form-ais.md).

5.  Select **Submit**.


## Result

The new indexed source attribute appears in the Advanced Configuration related list.

## What to do next

To make the new indexed source attribute take effect, perform a full table reindex for the indexed source.
