Fields: Deleted Assets

Specifies whether the listed asset or directory node is selected for permanent removal or for restoration to the digital asset hierarchy. A check mark in the check box means the asset or directory node is selected. If the check box does not contain a check mark, or if you remove the check mark, the asset or directory node is not selected.

Indicates whether the deleted item is an asset or a directory node.

If the item is a directory node, a folder icon () displays in the Type column.

If the item is an asset, a document icon () displays in the Type column.

Displays the name of the asset or directory node.

Displays the full directory path from which the asset or directory node was deleted.

Note: If you restore an asset or directory node, the Directory Path column shows the location to which the asset or directory node will be restored.

Displays the login name of the user who deleted the asset or directory node from the digital asset hierarchy.

Displays the date and time on which the asset or directory node was deleted from the digital asset hierarchy.

Automatically selects the Select check box for each asset or directory node in the Deleted Assets list. Use this option to quickly select all assets and directory nodes in the list instead of selecting every individual check box in the Select column.

Note: If you select the Select All check box again, every check box in the Selected column is cleared.

Purges the selected asset or directory node and its child assets from the system.

Important:  Use this option with caution. Once an asset or directory node is permanently deleted from the system, it cannot be restored to the digital asset hierarchy. For information, see Permanently removing deleted assets and directory nodes.

Important: Permanently deleting assets may cause errors for patrons who attempt to access resources attached to those assets. In order to reduce the impact of these changes, run the SD_ASSET_EXTRACTOR system task to remove your deleted assets from search results before permanently deleting them.

The SD_ASSET_EXTRACTOR task initiates the SD_ASSET_IMPORT task when it is finished, which in turn initiates the SD_ASSET_INDEX task. All three of these tasks must run before an asset no longer appears in the search results. For more information, see Understanding search source tasks.

Note: You cannot purge assets that were harvested from an OAI-PMH site unless you have deleted the harvest site (for more information, see Deleting an OAI-PMH site).

Note: You cannot purge a folder that you have assigned to a room until you remove it from the room (for more information, see Removing assets from a room)

Places the selected asset or directory node back into the digital asset hierarchy at the location or locations from which it was deleted. For more information, see Restoring deleted assets and directory nodes.
