Time-Based Publishing

Use

You use this report to search for documents whose visibility is controlled by the service for time-based publishing. The report provides an overview of the current status of documents for which you have entered a Valid From or Valid Until time.

Features

You can configure the following settings for this report.

Parameter

Description

Location

You can restrict the report to certain repositories or folders (including all subordinate folders). Specify all repositories and folders that are to be searched.

Maximum Results

The system terminates the search when it has found the corresponding number of items.

Parameter

Description

Valid From Earlier Than

Displays all documents for which the Valid From time is before the selected time.

If you want to display all documents that should have become visible up to the current point in time, do not specify a date.

Valid To Earlier Than

Displays all documents for which the Valid To time is before the selected time.

If you want to display all documents that should have become invisible up to the current point in time, do not specify a date.

Command

Description

Scheduler Command

Normally, the system executes scheduler tasks at regular intervals. These tasks switch the documents to visible or invisible. The default setting is every 15 minutes.

This command allows you to force the system to execute these tasks immediately.

Results List

In the Valid From and Valid Until columns, you can see the information that is set in the properties for the documents in question.

The checkboxes in the last two columns tell you whether the system has switched the documents to visible or invisible:

  • Visible Flag Set : This checkbox is selected if a scheduler task has switched the document to Visible in the past.

  • Invisible Flag Set : This checkbox is selected if a scheduler task has switched the document to Invisible in the past.

Example

If you have the impression that documents are already visible that should not yet be visible, choose a time in the future for the Valid From Earlier Than parameter. If the checkbox in the Visible Flag Set column is not selected, the scheduler has not yet switched the document to visible. If you can still see the document, this could be because you have write permissions for it, for example.
