Remove a search index

You can remove search indexes to speed up the time it takes to save a record.

Overview

Indexes make searching on a field in Vernon CMS more efficient.

However, there are many indexed fields in Vernon CMS, and these can slow your system down. For example, the Object file is complex, and some fields only describe specific types of objects.

As of version 12.2, each search index is optional. You can remove an index to speed up the time it takes to save a record, especially if you do not use a field.

Steps

Warning: First, make sure all other users are logged out of Vernon CMS. If records are changed while their index is updated it can cause issues. See Log out and lock out users.

  1. Go to Tools > System Maintenance > Search Tool > Optional Indexes.

  2. In Datafile, enter the file. For example, Object.

  3. Select the field you want to remove an index for.

  4. Click Remove index.
