If you want to add documents to the index without crawling
repositories, you can import information about the documents in comma-separated
value (CSV) files and make that information searchable when users
query collections.
To import CSV files, you run a wizard in the administration console
and specify:
- The file that you want to import (or the directory path for multiple
files).
- Options for parsing the data, such as the line where reading begins,
the column separator character, which lines to ignore, and so on.
- How elements in the CSV files are to be mapped to index fields
and options for parsing date and decimal data.
- Whether you want to save your settings to be able to run them
again. When you run the wizard, you choose whether you want to define
new options or re-use settings that you previously saved.
