Working with the archive

Files

Browse every archived file, its versions, its references and how it is stored back in the ERP.

Files lists every file the archive has captured, with the path it was found at. The count of archived files is shown in the top right.

Files, sorted by when each one was archived. Each row keeps the original File Cabinet path under the file name.

Reading a row

ColumnWhat it tells you
NameThe file name, with its original path underneath.
SizeThe size of the archived file.
VersionsHow many captured states exist for this file.
ReferencesHow many places in the ERP point at this file, with a risk level attached.
StatusWhether the original is still in place or has been replaced by a stub.
ArchivedWhen the file was archived.

References and risk

The References count is not decoration. It is how many things in the source system point at that file, and it carries a risk level of None, Low, Medium or High.

Risk tracks how much depends on the file

A file that nothing references is safer to stub or remove than a file that two dozen records point at. The risk level is what turns that reference count into a decision you can act on.

Status

Status describes what is left behind in the ERP after archiving.

StatusMeaning
OriginalThe file is still in place in the source system.
Stubbed, redirectThe original was replaced by a stub that redirects to the archived copy.
Stubbed, emptyThe original was replaced by an empty stub.

The Archived badge on the row confirms the copy exists in the archive, independently of what was left behind in the ERP.

Narrowing the list

The filter bar above the table takes several conditions at once:

  • Search by name or path
  • Status
  • Source
  • Risk
  • File type
  • Connection
  • Archived within a time window, defaulting to any time

The list can be shown as a table or as a grid, using the toggle on the right of the filter bar, and it is paginated at the foot of the page.
