How to delete Document Revisions and the associated Files automatically?

If you want to do it from the application,

• In Document Management\Document Revisions, you can query for obsolete documents.
• Select all, RMB File operations > Delete document revision (if you want to delete the file only, then select RMB File operations > Delete document files).
• However, you will be prompted with information messages, questions for each document revision most of the time, so again this will not be a complete automatic process

Another option is to use a data repair. The data repair should be written in a way you will have to delete the connection, then delete the file and document object.

Is this feasible to create into a scheduled task based on the days since obsolete???

Thanks!

Hi @Mathias Dahl ,

I was referring to this:

"In the Document Basic data there is a tab named Document Default Values where you can change parameter settings to meet your needs. The parameter to determine how long to keep an obsolete document is called DAYS_EXPIRED"
