How do Indexed Field Names originate?

Craig_Eissler_Iceman

I know how to recognize an Indexed Field Name by the the asterisk (*). And, I know how to add an Index to a field and remove it.

But, how do Indexed Field Names originate? In other words, how do they become indexed in the first place?

I ask because, I can have a Field that is indexed, but when I share that layer with someone else, it may not be indexed when they open it.

Thanks

Oh OK, thanks for the clarification.

Yeah, nothing I'm referring to is hosted online.

The link outlines how tools like filters and search apply an index on
fields.

My comment about users is that I don't believe other users accessing a
shared hosted feature later control over indexing.

...Hmmm, I may be misunderstanding your response. Fields CAN absolutely be Indexed by a User using the "Add Attribute Index" tool. Users can also remove it using a tool.

My question, however, is about Fields that become Indexed WITHOUT User involvement -- and, I'm referring to fields other than the 'ObjectID" field.

It appears that some tools will automatically do this to certain fields as seen by the Output layer or table. ...That's what I don't quite understand. ...Does anybody know more bout this?

You can create them or some other actions can create them e.g. search settings or filters.

I don't believe the fields are indexed by users. It may be because they are not the owner they don't see the * or something.
