Announcing our latest Community Member Spotlight... @fshahin31
Announcing our latest Community Member Spotlight... Faheem was one of the first Community Members back in December 2022. Since then, he's been asking excellent questions to help implement the Quantexa Platform and, more recently, sharing tech tips to help out other Community Members - which has earned him the accolade of our December Community Member of the Month 👏 Faheems is a Data Engineer with NextWave Consulting, we caught up with him to learn more about his experiences with Quantexa. How long have you been using Quantexa and what version do you use? I am currently using version 2.6.8 and have been using Quantexa since June 2022. What’s your favourite thing about the Community? My favourite part of the Community is how easy it is to find solutions or similar errors to the ones I'm facing. The threaded discussions make it simple to understand how the original problem was tackled, which really helps improve my approach to various challenges on my project. It's also great for staying up to date with the latest Quantexa updates. How often do you use the Community? I use the Community most days. What’s the best feature of the Quantexa platform? The best feature of the Quantexa platform has to be its User Interface (UI). It offers an easy and comprehensive view of vast amounts of data, which really helps us to understand the relationships in our data. Plus, the ability to customise UI components, like attributes and key client information, makes it even more engaging and useful. What’s the life hack everyone should know? One of the best productivity hacks I've found is using tools like 'Pomodoro timer' to focus on work in blocks without distractions. Also, I've been using an app called Opal which stops me from endlessly scrolling on my phone by removing access to certain apps for whatever time period I set. It's honestly a game-changer! Tell us a fun fact about yourself! I'm a very big fitness enthusiast who regularly goes running, gym, and CrossFit with my sight set on a 1:35:00 Brighton half marathon time in March 2025. And hopefully, work my way towards my first Hyrox in 2025/26! As a Member of the Month, Faheem will receive our December Member of the Month badge (worth 100 points) and a box of community-branded goodies. Want to know more about NextWave Consulting?

FAQ relevant for: all Academy versions If you perform a search in your UI and it only returns eg. Business entities but not Individuals or Addresses, then there are a few things you can check to resolve this issue. Firstly, remember that when you perform a general search (red box below), it will search within any field sets (orange box) you have configured in the search definitions of the resolver config. If you have configured these search definitions for all entity types, then also double check for any spelling errors in the resolver config in terms of fields that you are pointing at in the underlying data - these searches go off of fields in the cleansed Document Data Model. The other place to check is that your elastic has the data you expect in it - do you have address and individual data there? If not, then you may want to review your ETL pipeline, and check out this related FAQ. Lastly - you may need to refresh the security permissions to be able to access these additional Entities. You can do by running: ./drop_recreate_databases.sh In your home directory on the VDI (while the UI isn't running). After this, you should see the additional search fields and be able to find these entities. Let us know in a new post if you are still having issues after performing these checks!
