f. On the toolbar, click the fourth icon from the right to place the report window back into 
add mode. 
9. Define a field and an index:
a. Find a text string that can be used to identify the location of the field. The text string 
needs to contain a sample index value. For example, if you want to extract account 
number values from the input file, find where the account number is printed on the 
page.
b. By using the mouse, draw a box around the text string. Start just outside of the 
upper-left corner of the string. Click and then drag the mouse toward the lower-right 
corner of the string. As you drag the mouse, the graphical indexer uses a dotted line to 
draw a box. After you enclose the text string inside of a box, release the mouse. The 
graphical indexer highlights the text string inside the box.
c. Click the Define a Field icon on the toolbar.
d. In the Add a Field window, complete the following steps:
i. On the Field Information tab, verify the attributes of the Index field. For example, the 
text string that you selected in the report window is displayed under Reference 
String and the trigger identifies the trigger on which the field is based. Click Help for 
assistance with the options and values that you can specify. 
ii. On the Database Field Attributes tab, verify the attributes of the database field. In 
the Database Field Name field, enter the name of the application group field into 
which you want Content Manager OnDemand to store the index value. In the Folder 
Field Name field, enter the name of the folder field to display in the client search 
window. Click Help for assistance with the other options and values that you can 
specify.
iii. Click OK to define the field and index. 
e. To verify the locations of the fields, complete the following steps: 
i. Place the report window into display mode. Blue boxes are drawn around the fields. 
ii. Click the Select tool.
iii. In the Select window, under Fields, double-click Field 1. The graphical indexer 
highlights the text string in the current document. Double-click Field 1 again. The 
graphical indexer moves to the next document and highlights the text string. 
iv. Use the Select window to move forward to each document and display the field. 
Then, return to the first document in the input file.
f. Place the report window back into add mode.
10.Click Create Indexer Parameters and Fields Report to create the indexer parameter 
report that the PDF Indexer uses to process the input files that you load into the 
application. At a minimum, you must have one trigger, one field, and one index. For more 
information about the indexing parameters, see IBM Content Manager OnDemand - 
Indexing Reference, SC19-3354.
11.After you define all of the triggers, fields, and indexes, press Esc to close the report 
window. 
Important: Use the same principles for collecting fields as collecting the trigger text 
string in step 8b on page 170. If the fields that must be collected are close together, 
overlap them with adjacent fields to ensure that the box is as large as possible and 
to ensure that the data is collected at load time.
