Setting advanced indexation properties

You can set attribute and prefix list properties for an index.

Attributes

You can add attribute information to the entries in an index. For example, you can define a RepCode for cities with a population attribute, and include the population values in the index, as follows:

Ottawa (300,000)..................................D4

In the Indexation window, click the Index List tab.
Click Advanced.
In the Indexation Advanced window, enable the Show Attributes check box.
Select an attribute from the Select attribute to use list.
Select one of the following formats from the Attribute display format list:
- Keep format : displays a value as 5, 12
- Integer : displays this value as 5 if a value of 5, 12 is displayed in the index
Click OK.
Click in the Attributes column for the cell where you want to add the attribute information and type the attribute information in parentheses.
Press Enter.
Click OK.

Prefixes List

The prefix list words are entered in an index in reverse order. For example, if the word "Lake" appears in the Swap prefixes list, then "Lake Rice" appears in the index as "Rice, Lake." Index entries are sorted according to the most meaningful names.
