LightHouse — Reindex Documents

Current configuration of the LightHouse — Reindex Documents task in the Workflow Designer

The LightHouse — Reindex Documents task updates the indexes used to search and query documents in the Library.

Scope

Choose one of the following modes:

  • Collection: select one or more document collections.
  • Documents: select individual documents.

The selectors apply current permissions and show only elements manageable by the user.

Configuration

FieldDescription
ModeProcess only non-indexed documents, only those with errors, or all.
ForceRequire a new processing even when the document is already up to date.
LimitMaximum number of documents to process.
Max ErrorsThreshold beyond which the task stops the operation.
Update Searchable TextRebuild information used for text-based search.
Update Semantic SearchRebuild information used for meaning-based search.
Wait for CompletionKeep the workflow waiting for the result.

Select at least one of the two update options. Using Force on many documents may take longer: start with a reduced scope.

Results

The summary shows selected, updated, skipped, and unprocessed documents. The task does not modify document content or versions.

Use it when new documents do not appear in searches, after fixing an indexing error, or to realign a controlled set of content.
