===[[Indexing Multiple and Single File Fields]]===
The '''Link Multiple File Field''' and the '''Link Single File Field''' both support a file index feature. Using this feature provides the ability to search documents attached to the field (subject to the [[User|user]] having permission to access the field).
<u>'''File Types Supported'''</u>
* When you add a document to this file you must make sure that the document can be indexed for searching. The following types of documents are supported: Microsoft Word and Excel, Adobe PDF, HTML and RTF files.
<u>'''Ensuring that PDF Files are searchable'''</u>
* If using PDF you must ensure that the files are text-searchable. You can test for this functionality by opening the file with Adobe Acrobat Reader and ensuring that the '''Select Text''' tool can be used to select text from the file.
<u>'''Indexing after uploading'''</u>
<u>'''Disabling a File Index'''</u>
<u>'''Notes'''</u>
* Files can be uploaded individually or in groups.
* When in '''Edit''' Mode, the following buttons will be displayed:

===PDF Document Options===
<u>'''Allow Merging (PDF files only)</u>'''
* If you are using a Multiple File field to store PDF documents then you can enable a '''Merge''' button:
* This feature will provide for easier printing of "sets" of documents.
* The resultant file cannot have a space in the file name.
