Defining forums index content

On the Index tab of a forum index, you can define which documents on the site will be indexed. This is done by defining allowed and excluded forums.

 

The dialogs for defining new allowed/excluded content can be accessed using the Add allowed forums (View) and Add excluded forums (AddExcludedContent) links.

Adding excluded forums

 

Excluded forums make sense only when you have all forums defined as allowed. By defining a forum as excluded, it will not be indexed and all forums but the excluded one will be indexed.

 

You can define an excluded forum using the Add excluded forums (AddExcludedContent) link, while the procedure is the same as when adding allowed forums.
