After you create a collection, use the Verity Collections page to populate, or index, it with data from text and binary files in a directory that you specify. Collections consist of metadata that describes indexed documents. Data from a ColdFusion query can be indexed only using the ColdFusion cfindex tag in a ColdFusion application page.
To populate a collection:
Click Server>Verity Collections in the ColdFusion Administrator navigation frame. The Verity Collections page appears.
Select the collection to
be populated from the Connected Verity Collections table.
Click Index. The ColdFusion Administrator page appears with the selected collection name at the top.
On the ColdFusion Administrator page, review the extensions in the File Extensions field. You can add, edit, or remove extensions for files in the collection, if necessary.
In the Directory Path field, enter the path to the directory that you want to index. Click Browse Server to locate and enter the pathname.
In the Return URL field,
enter a URL to which documents found in the search for this collection
should be returned. For example, if you index the ColdFusion documentation
directory, the directory you index could be:
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\cfdocs.
You would enter the return URL as:
http://my_server/cfdocs/
To include subdirectories of the specified directory, enable the Recursively Index Sub Directories option.
From the Language drop-down list, select the language of the documents.
Click Submit
Changes when you finish specifying information for the collection.
ColdFusion then populates the collection with data from the specified
directory.
Note: You can exit this page any time without saving changes by clicking the arrow image .
