Indexing Properties
About this task
Indexing makes a property searchable in SOTI MobiControl for a certain amount of time (as specified by the Expiry Period field of SOTI Search Settings).
Follow this procedure to index a property:
Procedure
- 
                From the main menu, select Devices or
                        Apps. Then, select the SOTI
                    search bar to activate it. A drop-down menu displays the available categories
                    and searchable device properties. 
                 
- 
                Select 
                    Edit. The Edit Searchable Properties
                    dialog box opens.
                 
- 
                Choose a category and select searchable properties to index.
                 Remember: If an indexed searchable property is not used after a certain amount of time (as specified by the Expiry Period field of SOTI Search Settings), SOTI MobiControl automatically un-indexes the property. Once unindexed, the search property is no longer searchable and you must re-index it to make the property searchable again. Remember: If an indexed searchable property is not used after a certain amount of time (as specified by the Expiry Period field of SOTI Search Settings), SOTI MobiControl automatically un-indexes the property. Once unindexed, the search property is no longer searchable and you must re-index it to make the property searchable again.
- Optional: For an indexed searchable category, you can select the Set Default checkbox to make the property always available. SOTI MobiControl never unindexes the property.
- Select Save.
Results
Note: If a property is not
                indexed and displays an error in the search bar, select the wrench icon to index it.
                
Note: To search devices using custom properties, such
                as custom attributes and custom data, choose the appropriate custom attribute
                property to ensure it is searchable with SOTI search.
