If you renamed a source or you removed a section, you need to delete the content of the source. Otherwise the source entries are orphaned and “float around” and will be seen on the dashboard or inside the global search results.

An index, and therefore its content, can be deleted with this call:

/api/deleteIndex

Status
colourGreen
titlePOST

Body:

Code Block
languagejson
{
  "indexName":"FirstSteps"
}

We recommend you to use Postman for such administrative tasks.

Sources can be managed in the Administration Panel:

...

Reindex

This manually triggers a reindex operation which syncs the data from the connection to our local Portrait cache.

Only available for Source Types other than API.

Force Reindex

Same as Reindex. In addition, this also rewrites entries that did not change. Therefore, also creating a new activity feed for each entry.

Only available for Source Types other than API.

Empty

This removes all entries from the index until the next reindex operation or manually inserted entries via the API seeCreate and Update API Source Entries

Delete

This removes all entries and the entire index from the local data cache. This will result that the data won’t be reindexed anymore.

Note

You also need to remove the source configuration from the Configuration. Otherwise the source will be recreated when the application restarts.
