# FieldProcessingSection

The field processing configuration section in the configuration file that you want to update. You can use this method to modify the field properties without restarting your server.

- For PrintType and HighlightType fields, the changes become effective immediately.

- For CountType, MatchType, BitFieldType, NumericType (including NumericIntegerOnly), NumericDateType, ParametricType, ParametricRangeType, and SortType, you can modify the field properties but the changes take effect only after index regeneration.

- For some other fields, such as Index fields, you must reindex your data. If you attempt to modify fields with a property that requires a reindex, the index action returns an error status, and does not process the change.

When you provide this parameter, you can also set the Type parameter to `Auto` or `None`. For `Auto`, IDOL Server automatically detects the field configurations that you are updating, and regenerates the necessary index. Set Type to `None` if you do not want to regenerate, for example because you are making a number of field configuration changes and then run a single regenerate operation.
