NOTE
Scheduling Content to Begin and End
6. Click the Done button.
7. The date and time appear in the End Date field
When you select a time for content to go live, that time depends on the server’s
system clock. If the clock is incorrect, the content will not be removed at the
intended time.
What Happens After I Set an End Date?
You have three choices for what to do with content when it reaches
its end date. These are explained in ”Setting Archive Options” on
page 69.
If your choice means the content will not appear on the Web site,
Ektron recommends having another content item ready to replace
it. If not, and a site visitor visits the page containing the content, he
sees the template without the content.
Appearance on Content Reports
Setting Archive Options
After content reaches its end date, it appears on the Expired
Content report, which helps you track expired content.See Also:
Ektron CMS400.NET Administrator Manual > “Content Reports” >
“Expired Content Report”
The report lists all content whose end date will occur within a
number of days that you specify.
Use content’s archive options to determine what happens upon
reaching its end date/time. To be eligible for any option, the content
must reach its end date/time, progress through its approval chain,
and be published. Until those events occur, the content remains
visible both within its content folder and on the site.
The archive options (illustrated below) appear below the Start
Date and End Date fields on the content’s Schedule screen.
