Changing an item's expiration period

Related topics

The Expiration Period attribute allows users to define how long an item should be displayed on a page. Users can change the expiration periods of items at any time, and can expire items. If an item's item type includes the Expiration Period attribute, you can change the item's expiration period.

Note: You must be logged on as a page owner or an authorized user with the appropriate page or item-level privileges.

To change an item's expiration period:

1. Navigate to the page that includes the item.

   Note: If you do not see the page that you want to work with, you may not have the appropriate page access privileges. See your page group administrator to gain access.

2. Switch to Edit mode.

3. Click beside the item that includes the expiration period that you want to change.

4. In the Expiration Period section, choose whether this item is always available, available only for a specified number of days, or if it expires on a certain date and time. The format is DD-MON-YYYY HH12:MI PM.

5. Click OK.

Notes

• When an item expires, it is viewable only by the item creator, page owner, and page group administrator.

• The page owner or page group administrator can re-display an expired item by editing the item and extending its expiration period.

• The page group administrator can permanently remove expired items from the page group by performing a system purge.

• If there are multiple versions of an item, all versions expire when the expiration period is reached.
