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.

To set up an auto-archiving folder:

1. From the folder tree on the left, select the folder that you want to change.

3. Click 'PROPERTIES' to open the 'FOLDER PROPERTIES' dialog window (below image).
   
4. Enter the number of days that you want to retain documents within folder for by entering a number in the 'Archive Period' field. e.g. setting it to 5 days will mean that all documents created prior to the last 5 days will automatically archive.
5. From the 'Archive Folder' drop-down menu, select the folder you want to apply auto-archiving to.
