Refresh a collection's attributes to apply newly created attributes and update extracted values using the latest attribute definitions.
Analyzer automatically extracts attributes when documents are added to a collection. Refresh the collection when existing documents need to be processed against new or updated attribute definitions.
Before you begin
Make sure:
- The collection contains documents.
- At least one attribute exists.
- Any changes to attribute definitions are saved before you refresh.
Refresh attributes in a collection
Select the collection you want to update.
Select Refresh outdated attributes.
Do not select individual documents. Refresh applies to the entire collection. If you select one or more files, the icon to refresh will be suppressed.
When prompted, select Refresh all.
Analyzer reprocesses the collection using the latest version of each attribute. Processing time depends on the number of documents and attributes being updated. Files still being processed display a progress indicator.
When processing finishes, the collection displays updated extracted values based on the current attribute definitions.
When to refresh attributes
Refresh a collection when:
- You create a new custom attribute.
- You update an existing attribute definition.
- Documents are added, updated, or reprocessed.
- Extracted values do not reflect recent configuration changes.
- Attribute values appear incomplete or inconsistent.
What refresh updates
Refreshing a collection's attributes:
- Applies newly created attributes to existing documents.
- Updates previously extracted values when attribute definitions change.
- Extracts values for documents added since the previous run.
Refreshing does not change the attribute definitions themselves.
