Indexes: Index Edit View

Whenever you want to add a new one or edit an existing index, you will be redirected to the Index Edit View. This view helps you shape the index definition by providing code-completion, formatters, C# code generator, and more.

Action Bar

The following actions are available in the Action Bar:

• Save - saves an index on a server (if the index existed and the definition changed, then previous indexing data will be lost),
• Add - you can add another mapping or reducing function, define field, or spatial field, and determine max index outputs,
• Format - perform code formatting for mapping and reducing functions,
• Query - edit only - redirects to the Query View,
• Terms - edit only - redirects to the Terms View where you can view current index terms,
• Copy - opens a dialog where you can copy an index definition,
• Generate C# - creates an index definition class in C#,
• Refresh - fetches an index definition from the server,
• Delete - removes an index

Index Renaming

A new feature in v3.5 is being able to rename an index without needing to re-run the indexing process.

To rename an index, make sure you're in the edit view and change the index name in the text box. Click save.

A warning message will be displayed asking whether to rename or create a new index.
