Update Category Counts
Top  Previous  Next

Hyperseek does not keep a running tally of your category counts. You will need to periodically (as part of your daily maintenance) use the "Update Category Counts" utility to have the program recount and re-tally your listings. This is an ongoing part of database maintenance. When run, it will output a report similar to the following, showing you the Category, Category ID and the number of listings assigned...

Note that this report is merely a display of the current category counts. You will need to hit the "Re-Synchronize" link at the top of the page in order have the system re-count your categories, which will result in output similar to what shows below. Note that depending on the amount of categories and listings that you have in your system, it's quite possible that this function will fail to run due to memory and/or time constraints placed on the admin application by your web server. If this is the case, you may need to run the re-synchronization from the command line instead.
