How to schedule group archiving

The group which you want to be archived automatically has to be allowed to archive and a job must be assigned to it (see the section "How to archive emails of a group via a job”). Without activating it and having assigned a job to it, a group will not be allowed to archive automatically. It can, however, be archived manually (see the chapter Archive view).

info

NOTE: Groups allowed to archive are displayed green. An icon of a group for which the archiving option has been activated, yet with no job assigned to it, is displayed green with an exclamation mark (!), to notify the administrator (see below).

How to configure specific folders for automated archiving

Let’s say you have set the automated archiving for a group, yet you want to exclude/include some of the folders for automated archiving. To do so, follow these steps:

1.In Manager view click on the Groups tab.

2.In the left pane select the desired group and double-click it to open its Properties window.

3.In the Properties window, click on the General tab to make sure that the Allow to archive check box is selected. Then click on the Scheduler tab to verify whether a job was assigned. Then click on the Folders tab.

4.On this tab configure your desired settings in two sections:

·Include folders – only the added folder will be archived. All its subfolders and other folders will be excluded from automated archiving. To include subfolders, use asterisk:

<folder>* - Folder and all its subfolders will be archived

<folder>/* - Only subfolders will be archived.

·Exclude folders – added folder nor its subfolders will be archived

info

NOTE: As a path separator in both sections use a slash "/”.

5.Finally click OK.

m-exclude

EXAMPLE: If you define for example the Inbox as an exclude folder, neither of its subfolders is processed. Provided that you want to exclude Inbox but archive its subfolders, add the Inbox as: Inbox/*. Click Apply and then OK. The respective folders will be excluded from automated archiving.

How to display group members

To check group members:

1.In Manager view, click on the Groups tab.

2.In the left pane, right-click a desired group and, in its context menu, click Show members.
