New Fields

The following new fields have been added to the General Info form to support a reduction in the amount of custom SQL code for each site and to give each site easier access to and control over certain operations:

Default Filter Days is used by the FaxAction Client to determine the default start date for the Record Filter. If the user has not specified a start date, the number of days specified in this field is subtracted from today’s date to determine the default start date. The standard value for this field is 7 (i.e. show the last week’s worth of documents by default). The lists in the FaxAction Client that user the Start date field, and are thus affected by this setting, include: Submitted, Filed, All, Find Account, Find CSID, and Find Email Address.

Account Expire Days is used to control the number of days that transient accounts (accounts created automatically by FaxAction when a host-system account was not chosen by the user) are kept before being eligible for deletion. Accounts cannot be deleted until the ads they are associated with have also been deleted. Accounts loaded from the host system are not affected by this setting unless custom SQL code has been installed. The standard FaxAction SQL stored procedure sp_fa_expire_accounts must be scheduled to run automatically within SQL Server to enable the automatic account deletion.

Document Expire Days specifies the number of days that received document source records (faxes, emails, files, etc.) and their associated documents (ads, editorial stories) are kept before being deleted.
