Created by Crystal Ann Harvey, Modified on Fri, 22 Aug at 4:44 PM by Crystal Ann Harvey

There are several ways to delete attachments and what happens to deleted attachments will depend on your settings in DM Attachment Options


Steps

Press F1 while on any of the fields to learn more about each setting's function.

If you only need to delete a couple of items, DM Attachment Index Search works well.

Select the document(s) you want to delete and click on Manage Selected Attachment. Click on the delete tab, then the delete button. Close.

The DM Expired Documents Purge form works better if you wish to delete a larger group of the same type of attachments. Optionally, before purging documents from Viewpoint, you can have the system back them up to a specific network directory. You can choose to purge/back-up all documents associated with a single attachment type, or for all attachment types.

The system only deletes documents that are older than the time you specified in DM Attachment Types.
