Open Database Manager
The "Database manager" window in "Preferences" displays all available database collections. Each database collection is reflected by a line in the table. The number of documents per collection is shown in the column "DB Doc Count".
Indexing
Indexing is a process, which optimises the search in the database. Indexing allows the query to be done not in the database documents themselves, but among their "indexes". The status of a corpus' indexing process is indicated by the background colour of its line in the "Database Manager". Each line can have one of three background colours. Green means that everything is indexed properly. Yellow indicates that this corpus is currently being indexed, while red stands for a problem that occurred. The column "Index Doc Count" shows the number of the already indexed documents in this corpus. Additionally, the Status of the corpus will be displayed in the "Status" column (OK- green, ERROR- red or INDEXING...- yellow). The "% indexed" column shows the percentage of the indexing process.
Re-Indexing
Re-indexing may take a while. The more databases you have to re-index, the longer it will take. During this process you will not be able to use BTS.
Re-indexing has three options:
- Re-index all
- Re-index all non-OK
- Re-index individual DB collection.
To re-index individual collections, select them by left-click, scroll to the right of the table and click on Re-index.

Leave the "Database Manager" window by clicking the Close button in the lower right corner.
