# RegenerateNumericIndex

Regenerate modified numeric fields without reindexing the Content component. Set `RegenerateNumericIndex` to `true` if you want to define NumericType fields or add extra NumericType fields but have already indexed content. This allows Content to generate the files that it requires to internally identify NumericType fields at startup, so that you need only to restart Content to be able to use NumericType fields, rather than having to reindex all your data.

`RegenerateNumericIndex` also allows you to regenerate the numeric index after the ValidateNumeric part of a validation fails.

After the numeric index has been regenerated, OpenText recommends that you disable `RegenerateNumericIndex` again to avoid wasting time by regenerating the numeric index every time you restart Content.

NOTE: You can also regenerate the NumericType index without restarting the server by using the DREREGENERATE index action.
