Add a Store

We have added a storage provider, a model provider, and an embedding provider. Now we need to configure a store to use these providers.

This guide assumes that you have already deployed a Casibase knowledge base system. If you haven't done, please refer to the Deploy Casdoor and Casibase tutorial.

Besides, this guide assumes that you have already added a storage provider, a model provider, and an embedding provider. If you have not, please follow the Add a Storage Provider, Add a AI Model Provider, and Add an Embedding Provider guides.

Step 1: Add a New Store​

Stores are used to integrate storage, model, and embedding providers into Casibase. You can add them by following these steps:

Click the Stores button on the home page and then click the Add button to add a store.

Now, you can use the store to store knowledge base data, convert text to vectors, and chat with the chatbot.

In the next section, we will learn how to chat with the chatbot in Casibase.

Support Multi-store​

The multi-store mode provides users with different models, suggestions, and more within each distinct store.

Step 1: Enable Multi-store​

First, you should enable multi-store mode in the built-in store.

Click the Stores button on the home page and then click the store-built-in button to enter the store-built-in store.

Step 2: Add Usable Stores​

The multi-store mode only provides usable stores. To make a store usable, you need to configure its storage provider, model provider, and embedding provider.

Step 3: Select For Conversation​

Casibase provides a very convenient method for selecting a store.

Just hover your mouse over "New Chat" and then you can select the Store you wish to use from the list that appears below.

If you click the "New Chat" button, the system will assign you a default Store.
