Path - The full path of the directory in which to store the collection. This directory is relative to the computer that hosts Information Server.
Document Root - Optional. Enter the path to the directory in which the collection documents reside. This path is used to resolve requests for documents if the collection contains relative file paths and was not created with a web indexer.

: For some imported file-based collections, you may need to create an HTTP alias with the appropriate administration tool of your HTTP server. For example, you might map the directory /docs/finance/reports to the URL alias /finreports. You would enter /docs/finance/reports here in the Document Root field, with a corresponding entry of /finreports in the URL Root field.

URL Root - Optional. Enter the URL alias, created in your HTTP server, to the collection documents. This path is used in conjunction with the Document Root field. For example, if you map the directory /docs/finance/reports to the URL alias /finreports, and enter /docs/finance/reports in the Document Root field, you would enter /finreports here in the URL Root field.
