Use

You use the Index Administration iView to manage indexes for searching and classifying documents.

Procedure

You can carry out the following functions in index administration:

  • Creating Indexes

    If you have a large number of indexes, you can group them into index groups.

    For more information, see Creating an Index .

  • Assigning data sources to an index

    The following types of data source are supported:

    • Hierarchical repository, or part of a repository

    • Web repository

    For more information, see Assigning Data Sources .

  • Creating taxonomies

    If you already have a folder hierarchy in a repository that you want to use as a taxonomy, you can copy this folder hierarchy into a taxonomy. If you create an example-based taxonomy, you can also train the taxonomy with documents from the folders.

    For more information, see Creating Taxonomies for an Index (only for classification indexes and combined search and classification indexes).

  • Determining permissions for indexes

    Permissions determine who is allowed to use an index for searching and who is allowed to maintain an index.

    For more information, see Permissions for Indexes .

    For more information, see Indexing Status .

  • Reindexing and carrying out an incremental update
