Change the IDOL Reference Field

When IDOL Data Admin requests a document from IDOL by its reference, it specifies that the reference value it requests is from the DREREFERENCE field. Specifying the field ensures that it retrieves the correct document in cases where your documents have multiple reference fields (for example, if you index subfiles with a reference to the parent file).

In most systems, the IDOL Content component uses the default reference field DREREFERENCE as the main reference for your documents. If you use a different field as your main reference, you can modify the reference field that IDOL Data Admin requests, by updating the referenceField property in config.json.

To change the IDOL reference field

  1. Go to the IDOL Data Admin home directory.

  2. Open config.json in a text editor.

  3. Find the referenceField property, or add it if it does not exist, and set it to the name of the reference field that you want to use. For example:

    "referenceField": "MainReference"
  4. Restart IDOL Data Admin to apply your configuration changes.
