All repositories based on the same profile have the same attribute definitions. A repository's attribute properties only apply to the repository's attributes. They do not apply to any other repository.

In order for an attribute to appear as a search filter, it must be relational. Making an attribute relational requires rebuilding the snapshot table. Depending on the size of the repository, rebuilding a snapshot tables can take a lot of time, therefore it is recommended that snapshot table rebuilds are scheduled during non-working hours.

To configure an attribute so it appears as a search filter when the repository is opened in a Repository View:

  1. Log into EnterWorks Classic as a user with administrative privileges.
  2. In the Feature bar, open Content, open the desired repository folder, select the desired repository, select Edit, and select Attribute Properties.
  3. The Attribute Properties window will appear. It lists the properties for each attribute defined in the repository's profile. The attributes are organized by the tab they are assigned to, so find the attribute under the tab section.
    • Check the Drill down Index checkbox.
    • If the Relational checkbox is not already checked, check it.
  4. Click the Save button on the bottom of the list.
  5. Clear the cache.
  6. Check the Job Monitor to see if a snapshot table rebuild was triggered. If it was not, drop and rebuild the snapshot table. You may need to refresh the Job Monitor to see the job's current status.
