Fields
Voir en françaisHow Claira uses Nuix Discover fields to store AI responses, how to create the right field types, and how to connect them in Claira settings.
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 bulk scan task IDs 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 task ID 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.
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:
- Navigate to field management in your Nuix Discover case.
- 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:
- Open your browser's developer tools (press F12 or right-click the page and select Inspect).
- Switch to the Network tab.
- Navigate to the field in Nuix Discover (for example, open the field in the coding panel or field management).
- 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:
- Open the Claira pane in your workspace.
- Navigate to Settings.
- For each field slot, paste the Composite ID.
- Give the field a label that your team will recognize.
- 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.
