We start by adding a new index. First, notice the instructions area at the top of the screen. Directly below it, on the left, are the controls used to add indexes. To add an index, first provide a name for it by typing into the Index Name field. Next, select exactly what is to be indexed from the list of available sources. This list shows all the assigned metadata elements, as well as an option to use a full 'text' index. Having selected a source, now choose the level (i.e. what granularity) of the index, using the level selector. Once these details are complete (and assuming that there is not already an index with the same settings), the [A]dd Specified Index button becomes active. Click it to add the new index to the list of assigned indexes.

To remove an index, select it from the list of indexes beneath the instructions and to the right, and click the [R]emove Selected Index button. The selected index will then be removed from the list.

The default index is the one used on the collections search page. To set it, select the desired index from the list and click [S]et Default Index. The index's name will appear in the default index field directly below the assigned indexes list. Note that the default index field is not editable.

To reset the default index click the [C]lear Default Index button and the default index field will become blank.
