If you want to continually search for the latest data made available by your organization, you can schedule your index to update hourly, daily, monthly, or for any other recurrence you desire. Use the ReportCaster Scheduling tools to schedule your index the same way you would schedule a report procedure, and your index will update each time it is run by the Scheduling tool.
InfoSearch provides you with the ability to customize the location where your index data is saved. Typically, you would customize this location when using a Docker container, so that the index data is stored outside of the container and you can prevent the loss of any data. This feature is enabled through your WebFOCUS Client application server that is configured with your WebFOCUS environment. The following procedure outlines how to configure your index location using Tomcat.

With WebFOCUS InfoSearch, you can perform search analytics, and discover business intelligence assets by searching a combination of content titles, metadata, and data elements.
To interact with InfoSearch using voice commands, you must also follow these steps:
In addition to searching for parameterized reports, you can optionally enable Report Library output data for indexing and search InfoSearch. Unlike report procedures (FEX), a Report Library output does not need to contain a parameter to be found in InfoSearch.
When the Index Library Output check box is selected and saved in the ReportCaster Console, all subsequent Report Library distributions will be indexed and made searchable by InfoSearch.
Note:
On the WebFOCUS Home Page, you can use tags to categorize your content. This is particularly useful when reviewing lists of content with multiple tags. It also lets you choose which tags to apply to your repository item.
The Shared tag helps you filter just the content that is specific to you. The Personal tag makes it easy for you to filter just your personal My Content.
