Adding Information Portal Profiles or Indexes

You have one Information Portal Library created from information imported into Information Portal from your Horizon database. Within your Information Portal Library, depending how your Horizon locations are defined, you can have several Information Portal profiles. These profiles can include main facilities, branches, or even collections.

You can add existing Horizon locations (as Information Portal profiles) and indexes (as search types) to Information Portal at any time. You add new Horizon locations and indexes after you create them in Horizon. If you add an index, you need to assign it to a profile before your users can use it. (A profile establishes the location, appearance, and capabilities of the Information Portal search environment.)

When you make changes to Information Portal, such as deleting indexes or removing profiles, your changes do not affect your Horizon database. The changes affect only the Information Portal database.
