Build a Content Index

Before you can use a content agent, you must create an index of digital fingerprints for all files protected by the agent. Until an index has been built and the content agent has been published, the agent cannot be used in user policy. That is, any content agent trigger that uses an unpublished agent will be unable to detect fingerprinted files.

After adding the files that you want a content agent to protect, you must build an index of these files.

Follow these steps:

1. Select the agent in the Content Registration screen.
2. Click the Start Build button.

   This launches a scanning job. If you need to cancel the job, click the Stop Build button.

   When the build process is complete, you must publish the associated content agent.
