Data Maintenance - File Upload Retention

Forms
Updated December 1, 2020
asked on December 1, 2020

Will Laserfiche Forms be adding the ability to manage the removal of uploaded attachments at the process level?  Currently I only see "Remove files uploaded to the Forms database" at the global option level.  Currently we are on Forms 10.4.4.444.

We have the ability to set retention at the global level as well as at the file upload field level. Go to a form with a file upload field, click the variables tab, then click the settings gear next to the file upload field to open field settings. There you can override the global retention and set it specifically for that file upload field.

Thanks so much Jared.  It was just a bit buried.  I thought that I'd see it in the process options.  If I change the setting does it take effect immediately and purge the uploaded files from the database that are older than X number of days?  Is there some sort of nightly scheduled cleanup?

The cleanup is nightly and happens at the time set in the global configuration. At whatever time you specify, it goes through and removes any items past their retention schedules.
