Automated Indexing
(See “Automated Indexing”.)
Automated Indexing automatically takes a data file (transforming it, if and when necessary), then it Indexes it and stores the resulting file and its index values, in the application.
Note: You must have Permission configured to allow you to perform Automated Indexing. If you do not have permission, Indexing may not be displayed in the tree view. See “Users and Groups” and “Permissions Inheritance” for more information.
Automated Indexing works in a similar manner to Import in Indexing Studio, with the addition of a manual save option at the end of the process.
The number of documents that can be Automatically Indexed and processed simultaneously is directly proportional to the number of processor cores + 1.
For example: A PC with a dual-core processor can process 3 documents at once. (All subsequent documents will be queued up and processed when a “slot” becomes available.)
Note: Automated Indexing cannot be used to populate User Supplied Fields. Therefore, Data Definitions containing only User Supplied Fields are not available for Automated Indexing.
The Automated Indexing options are described in Table 127.
