Extracting Index Data

The Page Indexing Criteria panel defines the methods for extracting index data from a report. The panel contains extraction and search specifications. The extraction specifications define the location and length of the index data, and the search specifications provide the ability to locate index data and to qualify pages for index selection.

Index data can be obtained from a fixed or floating location on a page. A maximum of eight locations can be extracted from a page. If the location of the index data varies from page to page or multiple occurrences of the index data are contained within a page, search specifications can be used to determine the location of that index data.
