Reindex
Under the Reindex tab you can find the Reindex section and the Tools section.
Reindex
Reindexing repairs or updates the search index. You can reindex a specific app (Workflow, Home Page, Folder, and so on) asset, an asset and all assets under it, TODOs (tasks), or perform a full reindex of the system. The size of the item being reindexed impacts the run time.
Reindex: To reindex the current asset, select Reindex.
Reindex with sub-entries: To perform a reindex of the current asset and also all it’s children’s assets, select Reindex with sub-entries. For example, once you execute this reindex on Database Server, it will index DB server, all catalogs under it, all schemas under it, all tables under it and so on.
Full reindex: To perform a full reindex of the system, select Full reindex.
Todo reindex: To reindex only Todo tasks (referenced from comment), select Todo reindex.
重要
Reindex is available for those with Admin rights only.
Reindex Location
You can perform the reindex in different locations.
