Configuring a Collection
After you have initially created a collection, you can modify some of the initial
settings for the collection. This data resides in the collection information file,
dblist.ini
, and when you reconfigure a collection, the
dblist.ini
file is
updated to reflect your changes. For more information about the configuration
files, see “Configuring Manually” on page 400. You can revise the description,
change its label, define a different URL for its documents, and define how to
indicate highlighting in displayed documents, which pattern files to use, and
how to format dates.
Note
This window allows you to modify some of the settings for the web publishing
default collection,
web_htm
, because you are not changing actual collection
data. Avoid making unnecessary changes to this collection’s settings.
To configure a collection:
1.
From the Enterprise Server, choose Search.
2.
Click the Configure Collection link.
The Configure Collection window appears.
3.
In the optional Description field, you can type a description for your
collection up to a maximum of 1024 characters.
4.
In the optional Collection Label field, you can type a user-defined name for
your collection.
This is what users see when they use the text search interface. Make your
collection’s label as descriptive and relevant as possible. You can use any
characters except single or double quotation marks, up to a maximum of
128 characters.
5.
In the URL for Documents field, you can type in the new URL mapping for
the collection’s documents if that has changed.
That is, if you originally indexed the directory of files that corresponded to
those defined by the URL mapping
/publisher/help
, and you have
changed that mapping to the simpler
/helpFiles
, you would replace the
URL of
/publisher/help
with the
/helpFiles
in this field. For more
information about additional document directories, see “Mapping URLs” on
page 393.
