Indexing off hours

Is there a way of making Logos index off hours? To be able to schedule indexing when I'm not using my PC. To apply an hour like 2AM… Something like the Windows update.
Sometimes indexing happens during the day when I'm busy using my PC… Very inconvinient.

Thank you.

    Hi @Al Sosa

    I think one way towards achieving this is in the programme settings. You can specify the download times, which would mean that the indexing would occur as soon as that download is over.

    The other way would be to set automatically start downloads to 'No' and then run 'Update Now' at the start of lunch break or the end of the work day. If there are any downloads and updates, the indexing will be done by the time you return to your computer.

    The caveat to this is application updates, which do not occur very often but are a two-step process. I suggest experimenting with these settings to see what best fits in your workflows.

    You can also just decide to pause indexing if it starts at an inconvenient time for you. Where you see the indexing icon on Windows/Mac, it will give an option to pause for 4 hours:

    I think this would work for you, as pausing the indexer will prevent it from processing more information, reducing the strain on some system resources, but as a caveat, it does not free up memory that is already in use.
