Reindex

Recommended Posts

If you click on File - Maintenance - Reindex, you get a message that reads: "This process may take several minutes. Index data now? Yes No". Not sure what this means, so I decided to look up what this is in the Help menu, which wasn't much help, for all it says is "The current project will be reindexed. Your data will remain intact."

 

So what does Reindexing do?

When would you reindex your index files? Is it something you should do as a maintenance function to prevent problems or perhaps speed up searches, or only if there is some sort of error that needs to be addressed?

You only need to use the reindex function rarely when there is some data lookup issue.

 

Normal maintenance is: optimize, validate file integrity, optimize.

 

Optimize reindexes as necessary.
