Overview

This is a warning that M-Files Admin tool can show in the Index Management section.

This means that an existing property definition searchability has been changed.

For the end users:

- changing this setting from enabled to disabled will stop new entries of this property from being indexed, but old ones will stay in the index until the index is reindexed.

- changing this setting from disabled to enabled will only index new entries of this property; old ones will stay unindexed until the index is reindexed.
