Create Index

Use this page to add a user-defined index and to specify the attribute and rule.

Index Name
Lets you type a common name for the name of the index. If you do not specify the index name, the attribute is automatically assigned as the index name.

Note: Creating an index automatically restarts limber as a background process.

Attribute
Allows you to select an attribute from a list. Every index must have an attribute, because search matches are performed using schema attributes.

Rule
Lets you select the rule for the index.

Value
Matches the entire value or the first part of the value of an attribute. For example, value matching could be used to find entries with a "LastName" that is equal to "Jensen," and entries with a "LastName" that begins with "Jen."

Presence
Requires only the presence of an attribute rather than specific attribute values. A query to find all entries with a "Login Script" attribute would use a presence index.

Substring
Matches a subset of the attribute value string. For example, a query to find a "LastName" with "der" would return matches for "Derington," "Anderson," and "Lauder."

A substring index is the most resource intensive to create and maintain.
