Which “Mode” Setting for to use Index Management in 2.0

[sportame]

I'm running 2.0.2

Which Mode setting should be used for Index Management -- `Update on Save` or `Update by Schedule`?

And why does `Update on Save` appear in red? Makes me think it is in error.

Hello,

It is important to have indexes always updated as soon as possible.

For example your customer will see wrong price because of old price index.

"Update on Save" does not work for all cases:

Maybe it is why it is in red color.

"Update by Schedule" should work for all cases. But you should have cron jobs setup.

Hello,

It looks like normal magento cron job is enough:

I think most important for indexes is:

bin/magento cron:run
