Preparing Documents for Compass Server Removing Documents from Compass Server iPlanet Compass Server is a search service you can use to find information on your local network or parts of the global Internet. Your administrator can add, delete, or change Compass components, so what you see may not be exactly the same as what is described here. At the heart of the iPlanet Compass Server is an index of documents located on your network.
Documents can be web pages, web sites, text files, and other items.
The Compass index is similar to the card catalogs found in libraries, and for each document the index usually lists title, author, dates, keywords, location, and so forth. From time to time, as determined by your administrator, the index is updated. When you use iPlanet Compass Server, you search the index for documents that match the criteria you specify. For example, you could search for Sales Reports or all documents written by a particular author, or everything with one or more keywords. The documents available through the iPlanet Compass Server are usually organized into subject categories that are defined by your system administrator.
