Answer Server 23.3

# CustomizationData

A JSON object that defines additional requirements for the Ask action. For Fact Bank systems, you can also use this parameter with the Report
action.

For a Passage Extractor system, you can use `CustomizationData` to supply a SecurityInfo string to use with your `Ask` action. For Passage Extractor, this option allows you to use document security with the IDOL Content Data Index, to ensure that users receive answers only from documents that they have access to.

For Fact Bank, this option allows you to use document security with the facts in your SQL database fact store. To use security with Fact Bank, you must have a SQL database fact store, which includes the `sources` and `security_types` tables, with ACL information for your sources. You must also configure the security types in your Answer Server configuration file. For more information, refer to the Answer Server Administration Guide and see Security Configuration Parameters

For Answer Bank, you can use `CustomizationData` to supply additional `FieldText` to the query to your Answer Bank Agentstore. You can use this option to restrict Ask actions to a subset of your Answer Bank data, without having to set up multiple Answer Bank systems and Agentstores. For more infomration, refer to theAnswer Server Administration Guide. For details of syntax and options that you can use for `FieldText`, refer to the IDOL Server Administration Guide.

You can retrieve the full schema for the customization data object by sending the GetResources action with Type set to `Schema`.
