Action Dates
The 'action_dates' plugin will automatically perform certain actions based on resource metadata, for example, archiving a resource when an expiry date is reached.
Automatic resource deletion settings
|
Automatically delete resources when the date in this field is reached |
Select a field containing the expiry date |
|
Fully delete resource when deletion data passed? |
Set to 'True' and the resource will be deleted permanently. Set to 'False' and the next setting will be used to determine a state to move the resource to, rather than permanent deletion. |
|
New state to move to (if fully deleting resources, than this is not taken into account) |
If 'False' is selected above, resources will be moved into this state rather than permanently deleted. Therefore, this can be used to archive resources, or move them to other workflow states. |
|
Email administrator a set number of days before this date is reached. Leave blank for no email. |
Enter a numeric value for a number of days. A warning will be sent. |
|
Automatically restrict access to resources when the date in this field is reached. This will only apply to resources currently in the open state. |
Downgrade access to restricted when the date is reached - it will not be possible to download the files (for general users). | Remove resources from all associated collections when state is changed? (version 8.6+) | Optionally remove resources from all collections when changing archive state? (version 8.6 and later) |
Additional actions (v8.6+)
In this section you can select multiple additional fields and the archive states that resources should be moved to when the date in that field is reached (version 8.6 and later).
