Refreshing Application Indexes

When you make one of the following changes to a property's Default Type or Inheritance parameters (see Editing Property Parameters), the index for an application using that property may need to be refreshed in order for viewpoint queries to properly use the index.

  • Default Type is changed from Specified to None
  • Default Type is changed from Derived to None
  • Inheritance is changed from Positional to None

There are two ways that an application index gets refreshed:

  • Automatically, on a weekly basis
  • Manually, by performing an application index refresh

To refresh an application index manually, from Applications find your application, click actions, and select Refresh Index. You can rebuild indexes for active applications only.

Note:

You must be a Service Administrator or have Owner or Metadata Manager permission on an application in order to rebuild its index.
