Register Database

Manage | Database | Register

Note. Only the creator of the database, user #2, can register a database.

Optionally registering your database with the Heurist Index provides a number of advantages:

• Gives access to certain advanced features; if you have not registered and select such a feature, you will be notified to register first
• Gives your database a globally unique code. The code is the next available sequence number in the Heurist index, which is unique and permanently identifies that database, even if it no longer exists.
• Allows Heurist to check for new versions of the software and database formats. If your database is using an outdated version of Heurist, this is indicated on the Heurist Index Page.
• Makes your database available to other Heurist users. Registration of the database publishes the structure (but not the data) of your database to the Heurist Index Page, for use by other Heurist users. This allows other database users to import structural elements of your database (record types, field types and terms) but does NOT confer any form of access to data in this database.
