File errors and re-indexes
EXACT databases are based upon tables, each table contains a different type of information such as patient data, appointment information and many more. If an issue occurs to one of these tables and their indexes you may experience an index error. The only way to resolve an index error is for the Software of Excellence support team to perform a re-index.
A re-index is an automated process that is performed to re-establish the connections between the indexes and tables, linking all the data and information contained inside them correctly.

Reasons for a re-index
The most common reason for a reindex is the corruption of a datase, most commonly caused by the sudden shutdown of a server computer, such as a powercut or server hardware issues.
Depending on the error displayed, other factors may be causing the error, these may require the assistance of your IT support provider depending on the severity of the issue at hand.
Expected timescale for a re-index
Performing a re-index is an intensive procedure, utilising a lot of the operating power of a computer. This means that there are several factors in play that can affect the length a re-index takes to complete.
Factors affecting the length a re-index takes include,
- Server computer operating power, age and health
- Any other programs running (such as anti-virus, backups, etc.)
- Size of your database
