Searching for data in CLC Locations

There are two ways of searching for data in your CLC Locations:

Re-indexing CLC Locations

The CLC Genomics Workbench automatically indexes data added to a CLC Data Location using CLC software tools. These indexes are used when searching in the Navigation Area, to fetch the relevant data elements when launching an analysis and for resolving associations between data elements and CLC Metadata Tables. When problems with any of these are experienced, it may be resolved by re-indexing that CLC Location.

To re-index, right-click on the relevant CLC Location in the Navigation Area and then, from the menu that appears, select the option:

        Location | Rebuild Index

Rebuilding the index for locations with a lot of data can take some time.

The index building process can be stopped under the Process Area.

Indexes are updated automatically when data is moved between CLC Locations, but not when data elements are moved within a given CLC Location. When searching based on names, this does not matter. However, for searches based on information in the path, the index may need to be rebuilt before searching.
