In some situations, users might want the uploaded materials to be
automatically removed from the System after some time. The expiration
date, which you can specify using
, is used for this purpose. The files (or folders) in which
this option has been activated are automatically removed once they
expire. In some sections, the expiration date is imposed on files (or
folders) without any action on the part of the user. The expiration date,
if specified, can be found next to the name of file (or folder).
The information about the objects that have been removed is stored in the
file titled expired (placed in the Folder Management
folder). The expired file expires a year after it was last written
into.
If a folder containing a file (or folder) which has not expired yet
expires, it is not removed.
No expiration date can be specified for the sections of Study
Materials and Theses/Dissertations. On the other hand, the
Depository section requires that the users specify the date(s).
