# Choose an IDOL Database for Indexing

When you configured your IDOL Content component, you might have created one or more databases for indexed documents. This section explains how to configure your NiFi Ingest connectors so that documents are indexed into a specific database.

To choose an IDOL database for indexing

1. Right-click an IDOL NiFi Ingest connector, such as GetFileSystem or GetWeb, and click Configure.

   The Configure Processor dialog box opens.

2. Click the Properties tab.

3. Click Add .

   The Add Property dialog box opens.

4. Type `META:DREDBNAME`. `DREDBNAME` is a standard IDOL document field that indicates the database to index the document into. The `META:` prefix instructs the processor to add this field to documents that it creates.

5. Set a value for the property (the name of the database to use).
6. Click APPLY.

TIP: The PutIDOL processor also has a property named Default IDOL Database Name. You can set this property so that any document that does not have a `DREDBNAME` document field is indexed into the specified database.
