Why can't I find old reports in my File Index?

The new File Index was completely rewritten from the ground up to improve stability, speed, and ease-of-use. To enjoy these new features with your existing reports, you'll need to rebuild your File Index.

Please note: you cannot work in Appraise-It while the rebuild is running. If you are operating on a network, this applies to all network users.

1. Open the File Index by going to FileFile Index, or clicking the File Index button on your toolbar.
2. Click Rebuild at the bottom of the File Index window.
3. A message will appear with a time estimate, though the time will depend on the speed of your computer, how many reports you have, and how large the reports are. Click Yes.
4. A progress bar will appear at the bottom of the File Index. When it finishes, you will receive a confirmation message.

You can now search all existing reports using the new File Index.
