Configuring Item Cleanup

Print Friendly and PDF Follow

The customization keys for Item Cleanup are configured in the Ares Customization Manager under System | Item Cleanup. To turn on the Item Cleanup function and enable the system to remove expired electronic items from the web interface, set the ItemCleanupEnabled key to Yes.

Turning On Item Cleanup

Turning on Item Cleanup will enable Ares to remove expired electronic Items from the web interface.

  1. In the Ares Customization Manager, navigate to System | Item Cleanup | ItemCleanupEnabled.
  2. Change the value to Yes.
  3. Click Save.

In versions before Ares 4.5, you could delete certain Items with the ItemFileCleanupAction key even if the ItemCleanupEnabled key was set to No. This key no longer exists in Ares, and to continue to delete Items the ItemCleanupEnabled key must be set to Yes.
