Overview

Create a Verity collection

Data & Services > Verity Collections

You create a Verity collection either by using the cfcollection tag or in the ColdFusion Administrator. For more information on creating a collection in CFML, see ColdFusion Developer's Guide.

Create a Verity collection in the Administrator

1. On the Verity Collections page, enter a name for your collection in the Name field. The name can contain multiple words and spaces.

2. (Optional) In the Path field, specify a path to place the collection on another machine or in another location on the system. The default path at installation is cf_root/verity/collections (Server configuration) or cf_webapp_root/WEB-INF/cfusion/verity (J2EE configuration).

      Note: This is the location for the collection, not for the files that you search.

3. (Optional) Select a language other than English for the collection from the Language pop-up menu.

4. (Optional) Enable support for Verity categories by selecting the Enable Category Support option.

5. Click Create Collection. The Verity Collections table at the lower edge of the page shows the collection. You can now populate the collection. For details, see Populate a Verity collection.
    

Notes:

• When you add your first Verity collection, buttons for managing Verity collections appear along the lower edge of the table. For details, see Manage Verity collections.

• If the collection you are trying to create exists on the disk but is not registered with ColdFusion, the Administrator registers the collection with the Verity server. Such a collection may have been copied from another ColdFusion server instance or may have been created with the Verity mkvdk utility.
