USER AND SERVER CONFIGURATION

Assigning database categories for the Domain Search form
On the Design tab of the Database Properties box, you can assign one or more categories to each database to be included in the Domain Index. These categories appear on the search form to provide a user with a way to narrow a search. Categories are also displayed in views of the database catalog and Domain Catalog. You must have Manager access to a database to create the categories.

Note Searching within categories is supported only for IBM® Lotus® Domino™ databases. Whenever a user specifies a category on the search form, search results will not include any documents from file systems.

Use the Categories view in the Domain Catalog to see whether database managers have assigned databases to appropriate categories. To edit or add categories, use Database Properties for each database.

1. Open the Domain Catalog.

2. In the view pane, click Databases and then click By Categories to view a list of categories.

3. To see information on the databases that have been included in each category, select View - Expand All.
