Metadata Updater Options: General

The ClosedGeneral node under Metadata Updater in the Options dialog box enables you to configure the Metadata Updater utility.

To configure the General settings

  1. Select Tools, Options, expand the Metadata Updater node, and select General.
  2. Update Laserfiche metadata when a session is opened: Specify whether the utility should automatically run when a session is opened.

    • Run only once a day per session: Specify whether the utility should only run once a day, per session. This option enables you to keep your sessions up-to-date but avoid having to wait for the utility to run each time a session is opened.
  3. Automatically close the update progress report unless: The utility displays a progress report as it runs. This option enables you to specify whether the utility should remain open after it has finished running, allowing you view the progress report. If you select this option, you can also specify the following conditions:

    • Field property conflicts occurred: The utility will only remain open if changes are made to a field associated with a document class (e.g., a field is deleted or renamed).
    • Document metadata was added or removed: The utility will only remain open if changes are made to a template or tag associated with a document class (e.g., a template or tag is deleted).

    Note: Sessions opened from the Quick Fields Server will automatically always update the metadata. Therefore, the options configured under Session Updater Options will apply to local sessions and be ignored for sessions opened from the Quick Fields Server.

  4. Save the update log in: If this option is selected, a log file will be created each time the Metadata Updater is performed (regardless of whether the session is updated). To specify where the log is created, click Browse.

    Tip: To quickly open the log directory, click View Logs.

  5. Automatically delete log files older than __ days: If the utility has been configured to create a log file, you can specify the maximum age for logs before they should be automatically deleted. If this option is cleared, log files will not be automatically deleted.

    Tip: To quickly delete all log files, click Delete All Existing Logs.
