Indexes are entities that enable referencing of sections (one or more pages) of reports. For example, you can reference the section of the checking statement report for a particular account number. Locating the pages of the report requires matching an index name that is based on a particular value.
Each index is assigned a unique name; the name can have up to eight different parts. In the preceding diagram, index names are represented as Name1, Name 2, Name 3, and so forth. For example, an index can be named "ACCOUNT#" or "ACCOUNT#, MONTH, YEAR".
An index that spans multiple reports is called as a cross-report index. Index 1 in the diagram is a cross-report index; it is an index for both Report 1 and Report 2. An index references a section of a report. A report handle references as an index. The Index List Web Service returns report handles to pages of reports that are based on index or cross-report indexes.
The Index List Web Service retrieves the list of cross-report indexes in a repository, the report handles for sections of reports for an index matching a specific value, the list of indexes for a report, and the section of a report that is indexed by a specific value.
Note: The CA Dispatch repositories do not hold indices.
