You can review index suggestions and indexes created by the Index Suggestion Engine
(ISE). The ISE provides three main views of index suggestions as they move through their
life cycle: index suggestions in review, index in progress, and index done.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin

## About this task

Access index suggestions from the Application Navigator or the Performance homepage.

## Procedure

1. Access the index suggestions for your instance by navigating to System DiagnosticsIndex SuggestionsIndex Suggestions \> To review.
2. In the Index Suggestions table, select the table associated with the index suggestion you want to view from the Table Name column.
3. Review the index suggestion for the selected table.  
   For a description of the field values in the index suggestion, see [Index suggestion form fields](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/ZIzICJBg3ybQkhrr_BtdOQ "A description of the fields in the index suggestion form.").
4. Choose the next processing step for the index suggestion.

   | Option | Description |
   | Export | Downloads the index suggestion as an .xml file, which can be [exported to a non-production instance for testing and evaluation](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/2azTPmP4jUQDGPyWhJOWZg "You can export an index suggestion from a production instance to a non-production instance for creation, evaluation, and testing before implementing the index on your production instance."). |
   | Ignore | Changes the index suggestion state to ignore, which indicates the index suggestion is no longer active and available for index creation. Index suggestions with an Ignore state are listed in the Index Suggestions \> Done view of the Index Suggestion table. |
   | Schedule creation | Opens the Schedule Index Creation window to [schedule an index suggestion for creation](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/9CmZBG~Ss8qaKQErqj_~Ag "Use the Index Suggestion Engine (ISE) to schedule an index suggestion for creation."). |
