Indexed data is the data recorded for a product to supplement its MSDS. This data includes some items that may be found in the MSDS text—such as the product's hazards and chemical ingredients—but when you index this data, this enables users to view it directly, rather than having to search for it in the MSDS text. Other indexed data may be separate from the product's MSDS, such as its unit bar-codes and its locations of use or storage at your facility.
When this data is recorded for a product, it is displayed when you view the product and enables searching and reporting based on this data.
