# Configure IDOL

This section describes the configuration concepts that are common to all HPE IDOL setups. While you can configure HPE IDOL for a variety of different functions, the following three sections describe the configuration that you always need to set up, depending on your data.

- Fields. All IDOL data is stored in fields. Connectors automatically create fields when they extract content from repositories. However, you must configure HPE IDOL to process the different types of field correctly. The exact processing you need depends on:

  - the connectors you use, and the repository

  - your content

  - how you want to use the data

- Languages. HPE IDOL performs a number of processing steps on all documents that you index. Some of these steps produce better results when you provide language-specific information.

- Security. Security is often a key consideration for organizations, and HPE IDOL allows you to secure your content so that only authorized users can access it.
