Expiring an item

Related topics
While adding or editing an item, you can set a date on which the item expires so that you don't have to remember to remove the item once it is outdated.
	To perform this task, you must be either a folder owner or have the appropriate folder or item-level privileges.

To expire an item:

Note: If you are already in the folder containing the item you want to expire, skip to step 4. In the Navigator, click the Content Areas tab to navigate to Path: Content Areas. In the Name column, click the content area link that contains the item you want to work with. The content area home page (root folder) is displayed with all the sub-folder links that were chosen. If necessary, click a sub-folder link to view the contents of a given folder. If you do not see the folder that you want to work with, this means that you have not been granted the appropriate folder access privileges. See your content area administrator to gain access. Click Edit folder located on the main banner to switch to Edit mode. This displays the item management tools next to all the items in the folder. In the folder area, locate the item you want to edit. Click beside the item. An Expired label displays next to the item as shown below:

Notes

Expired items are not removed from the database until the content area administrator performs a system purge of all expired items. Item attributes such as Author, Description, Expiration Date, Image, New Item Indicator, and so on are displayed in the folder area only if they were chosen to display. For more information, see Choosing item attributes to display in a folder region.
