Store Configuration

After adding storage providers, model providers and embedding providers, we can configure the stores

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.

Casibase-stores-add

Fill in Store Details

Fill in the store details and click the Save & Exit button.

Casibase-stores-form-preview

Select the storage provider, model provider, embedding provider, text-to-speech provider and speech-to-text provider you added before.

Casibase-stores-select

Click the Save & Exit button and return to the stores list page:

Casibase-stores-view

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

Vector Stores

Sometimes you need one store to search through knowledge from multiple other stores. For example, you might have separate stores for different topics or departments, but want a main store that can answer questions by searching across all of them. The Vector stores field makes this possible by letting a store use vectors from other stores in addition to its own.

To configure this, navigate to the store edit page and find the Vector stores field. You can select one or more stores from the dropdown list. When you chat with this store, it will automatically search through both its own vectors and the vectors from all the stores you selected. This way, you can create a centralized knowledge hub without duplicating content across multiple stores.

tip

The store always uses its own vectors automatically. You only need to specify additional stores in the Vector stores field when you want to search across multiple knowledge bases.

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

2.Support Multi-store

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

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.

Casibase-stores-form-builtIn

Scroll down and find the Can Select Storefield, tick it.

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.

Select For Conversation

Casibase provides a very convenient method for selecting a store.

Casibase-stores-multi-store-choose

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.
