Indexing

Indexing

Indexing is how Harmony reads a file so it can be searched, linked to other files and used by Harmony Agent. It happens automatically whenever a file arrives or changes.

The Knowledge index status, with files indexed, links and clusters

Read the status

The control at the top of the wiki shows the index at a glance, for example 21/21 · 131: 21 of 21 files indexed, and 131 links found between them. Open it for Knowledge index:

Item Meaning
Files How many files are indexed
Links Connections found between files
Clusters Groups of files on the same subject
Numbers read from files Figures Harmony picked out of tables and text

Each file shows Indexing, Indexed or Index failed.

Reindex

When a file's source changed or its index failed, it's marked need reindex (source changed).

  1. Open the index status.
  2. Choose Select all files needing reindex, or select files yourself.
  3. Choose Reindex.

You can stop a running index with Cancel indexing.

Files that can't be indexed

Format not supported and Empty file mean there is nothing Harmony can read. The file stays in the wiki but doesn't appear in search.
