File Cleanup

There are various ways of initiating a file clean-up on your workstation. The first method is using the File pull-down menu option. After selecting this option, the system will display a complete list of files that have been checked out and copied out to your workstation. You have the facility to limit the files that will be processed by defining either project or document related information that is used to select the files.

You can proceed by clicking on the Clean-Up button, which will display a confirmation of the list of files to be processed with the option of a Permanent or Non-permanent clean-up.

The second method of initiating a file cleanup is by right clicking on the set of documents displayed on the Project Navigator as having been checked out or copied out. You can then select the clean up option from the list of file transfer commands.

The third method is to right click on a project in the file list view, or on a document type or document set in the database view and select the clean-up option.

For all methods, a confirmation window is displayed allowing you to select a permanent or non-permanent clean up operation.
