File System Indexing with TREX

[Former Member]

Do I have to set up taxonomies to be able to perform file system indexing with TREX, or can I just point the index at the file system, and it should work? I have tried to do this but cannot add the file system to the index as its data source because it is not in the available list of folders.

Thanks

Never mind - do you know if you can create subscriptions to documents in a file system without creating a taxonomy? i.e a user can choose a keyword and ask to subscribe to all documents containing that keyword?

I've already got it set up as a repository, but when I click on Add in the Data Source area of the index, it doesn't show up. Any ideas? We are on EP6 SR1

Sorry, Cindy,

that I assumed the too simple first.

No off-hand idea then.

Hi Cindy,

you need an index to create a taxonomy.

You do not need a taxonomy to index anything.

What you need is to have the file system connected as a repository. Then it should show up in your list of repositories (top-most level of folders).
