Understand the Network Content Source
A network content source represents the file system folders that are currently
being indexed and monitored on a network machine.
Folders shown in a network content source are watched for file system events,
such as Add, Save, and Delete. An indexing process keeps a current catalog of
the files and objects located in the watched folders. You can easily locate files
in the specified folders based on search criteria, such as the date last updated,
the author, a property value, or the file type.
You can configure which folders are watched on the network machine in two
ways:
■ If AutoCAD or an AutoCAD vertical is installed on the network machine,
launch Content Explorer and add the folders through the Autodesk Content
Explorer- Configure Settings dialog box.
■ If AutoCAD or an AutoCAD vertical is NOT installed on the network
machine, launch the Autodesk Content Service Administration Console
and add the folders through the Add Watched Folder dialog box.
When you search a network content source, only watched folders on that
network machine are searched. If you need to search a different network
machine, you must select that content source from the Content Source
drop-down.
If AutoCAD or an AutoCAD vertical is installed on the network machine where
you want to add watched folders, you can add and remove watched folders
with Content Explorer on the Autodesk Content Explorer Configure Settings
dialog box.
