Chapter 3:

Working with Directories

9

Overview

MasterDirectory enables you to create, open, and modify directories. With MasterDirectory, you can import
data from multiple sources (Chapter 4), and then export the data to create and update corporate directories
(Chapter 5).

Each directory is associated with a configuration file (.md), a database file (.dbf) and an index file (.cdx).
The database and index files contain the actual directory data. The configuration file contains settings
describing the layout of the database and functional options.

This chapter describes how to:

•

manage the data in directories

•

modify the settings for directories
