Fields

Claira writes AI responses directly into Nuix Discover fields. This means every result is stored alongside your other case data, searchable, exportable, and available to everyone with access to the case. Understanding how fields work is essential to getting the most out of Claira.

What fields are used for

Every time Claira scans a document, the AI's response needs somewhere to go. That destination is a Nuix Discover field. By connecting fields to Claira, you control:

• Where responses are saved -- which field stores the AI output
• What gets recorded -- you can track the prompt text and a log of Claira activity in separate fields
• Who can see results -- anyone with access to the field in Nuix Discover can see Claira's output

Most teams connect three fields:

These three fields are the minimum. The prompt and log fields are typically a single field each, but for the response field we recommend setting up multiple AI response fields tailored to the tasks you plan to run. It is common to have more than one response field for a single task.

How the Log Field works

Every time a Claira operation touches a document, Claira adds a reference to that document's Log Field:

• Bulk scan tasks write SC followed by the task number -- for example SC067 for task #067.
• Insights write IN followed by the insight number -- for example IN012. Every document whose results fed into the insight receives the reference.

Because the Log Field is one-to-many, references accumulate: a document included in three scans and one insight carries all four references. To pull up every document a given operation touched, run a Nuix Discover search on the Log Field with the exact reference (for example, Log Field is SC067). Each task's details window and each insight's sources panel shows the exact reference to search for.

Tailoring response fields to your tasks

Different review tasks produce different kinds of output, and routing each kind into its own field keeps results easy to search, sort, and export. Below are two common workflows and the response fields they typically use.

Metadata enhancement (objective coding)

When Claira is filling in or correcting document metadata, each metadata point usually lives in its own field:

Relevance review

Relevance tasks often pair a decision with the supporting context that justifies it:

These are just examples -- tailor your response fields to the specific tasks your reviewers will run.

Creating fields in Nuix Discover

Claira requires memo fields with one-to-many cardinality. This field type allows multiple values per document, which is important because you may run several prompts against the same document over time.

To create a new field:

1. Navigate to field management in your Nuix Discover case.
2. Create a new field with the following settings:
   • Type: Memo
   • Cardinality: One-to-many
   • Name: Something descriptive that includes the field's purpose

Finding the Composite ID

Every Nuix Discover field has a Composite ID -- a unique identifier that Claira uses to connect to the right field. You need this ID when configuring fields in Claira settings.

To find the Composite ID:

1. Open your browser's developer tools (press F12 or right-click the page and select Inspect).
2. Switch to the Network tab.
3. Navigate to the field in Nuix Discover (for example, open the field in the coding panel or field management).
4. Look for the API request that loads field data. The Composite ID appears in the response.

The Composite ID looks something like this:

Connecting fields in Claira

Once you have your fields created and their Composite IDs noted, connect them in Claira:

1. Open the Claira pane in your workspace.
2. Navigate to Settings.
3. For each field slot, paste the Composite ID.
4. Give the field a label that your team will recognize.
5. Optionally, add notes to explain what the field is used for.

Shared visibility

When you connect a field in Claira, that connection is shared across all users on the case. This means:

• You only need to connect fields once per case.
• Every user who opens Claira will see the same field connections.
• Any user can write to the connected fields by running scans.

Disconnecting fields

You can disconnect a field from Claira at any time from Settings, using the disconnect button next to the field.

• If a bulk scan is currently running or queued and writes to the field, the disconnect is blocked. Wait for the scan to finish, or cancel it, then disconnect the field.
• If teammates have the field selected in their scan settings, you can still disconnect it. Their selection is cleared automatically, and they simply pick a different field the next time they run a scan.

Disconnecting a field only removes the connection between Claira and the field. The field itself -- and every AI response already written to it -- stays untouched in Nuix Discover, and past scan results and history in Claira are unaffected.

If you reconnect the same field later (same Composite ID), it picks up right where it left off.
