# Create a Database

Follow this procedure to create an IDOL database in the IDOL Content or IDOL Agentstore components, or IDOL Proxy.

To add a new database

1. Click + Add New Database.

   The Add New Database dialog box opens.

2. In the Database Name box, type a name for the database.
3. Select the Internal check box if you want the database to be internal, and therefore hidden.
4. Select the Read Only check box if you want to prevent documents being added to the database.
5. Select a priority for the index action. This determines how IDOL Server queues the action.
6. Click Create.

You can view the task progress by opening the Recent Tasks pane at the bottom of the window (see IDOL Admin Structure).
