# Allocate Files to IDOL Server Databases

You can configure the IDOL Content component to use a field in each document to determine the database into which it indexes the document.

For more information about fields, see Fields.

To configure IDOL Server to read the database from a document field

1. Open the IDOL Content component configuration file in a text editor.

2. In the `[FieldProcessing]` section, add a new process to the list, to identify your database fields.

   For example:

       [FieldProcessing]
       0=MyFirstProcess
       1=MySecondProcess
       2=DatabaseFields

3. Create a configuration section with the listed name. For example:

       [DatabaseFields]

4. In this new section, set the `Property` parameter to the name of the property section for the process (you configure the property later). Set the `PropertyFieldCSVs` parameter to identify the fields that you want to associate with the process.

   Optionally, set `PropertyMatch` to identify a specific value that fields must have to be processed.

   NOTE: The property that you create must not have the same name as the process.

   For example:

       [MyFirstProcess]
       Property=MyFirstProperty
       PropertyFieldCSVs=*/MyField,*/MySecondField
       PropertyMatch=*myString*

       [MySecondProcess]
       Property=MySecondProperty
       PropertyFieldCSVs=*/MyOtherField,*/MyOtherSecondField

       [DatabaseFields]
       Property=Database
       PropertyFieldCSVs=*/DREDBNAME,*/DB,*/Database

5. Create a section for your indexing property and set the `DatabaseType` parameter to `True`.

   For example:

       [MyFirstProperty]
       HiddenType=True

       [MySecondProperty]
       Index=True

       [Database]
       DatabaseType=True

6. Save and close the configuration file.

7. Restart the IDOL Content component for your changes to take effect.
