Auto-archiving Folder Content

Automatically archiving a folder's content allows you to set an expiry date for certain documents that exist in the folder. Setting an archive period will archive any documents that were created outside of the days set. For example, if the 'Archive Period' is set to 5 days then all documents created prior to the last 5 days will automatically be removed off of your website and into an archive sub-folder.
