Editing the Index Data of Registers
You change the index data of a register in the index data form associated with the register. Open the index data form of a register via the hit list of a register or document search or via the content or navigation area of a folder window.
The administrator can specify that the index data of registers or individual fields cannot be edited.

-
Select a register in a hit list or in the content or navigation area of a folder window.
-
Right-click to open the context menu of the register and click
Edit index data.
Alternatively, you can also click
Index data >
Edit index data in the Hit ribbon tab or the Folder ribbon tab.
The index data form of the register will open.
-
The index data form contains tabs for the register and the folder in which the register is located. Enter the changes in the tabs and click
Save.
The index data will be edited, and the hit list refreshed.
If another user changes the index data after you opened the index data form, a corresponding message will be shown. You will need to reopen the index data form in order to make changes.

Changing Index Data of Multiple Registers Simultaneously
To make changes in batch mode, you will need the Client: Execute changes in batch mode system role.
You can change the index data of multiple registers simultaneously. If you select the register and open the index data, an empty data sheet is displayed. The index data will be displayed for fields that have identical indexing.
For batch changes, please note the following:
-
Fields that you do not edit will not be changed. If you enter values in a field, the index data of all registers will be overwritten with these values.
-
If you enter values beginning with a + in the fields, the new values will be appended. Values with a leading & are placed before the existing index data. The index data will be deleted if you enter a -.
-
If you enter a value beginning with a + or &, the value will only be appended to non-empty fields.
-
When editing the index data of multiple registers at one time, mandatory fields, key fields, and read-only attributes will be ignored.
-
Data in tables cannot be modified. Add-ons will also not be run.
