The LinkDB [LinkDB search index] search index contains all role information.

In case of role changes, a note is displayed in PARTadmin that it is necessary to update the LinkDB search index.

Ideally, the LinkDB search index should be updated for all catalogs used. (The time required is manageable)

Relevant role changes are: (see Section 4.7.3.1, “ Roles: General " tab page ”)

  • Preferred ranges

  • Filter condition for datasets

  • Viewing condition for table rows

  • Columns to be displayed

  • Columns not to be displayed (export only)

  • Display condition for parts selection

If the PARTdataManager Search indexes are not available without errors, the message Missing search indexes appears.
