Purge Items in a Vault from the Autodesk Data Management Server Console

Purge item versions in a vault based on the item's lifecycle state control settings.

Note: Items are available in Vault Professional.

You can purge items from the ADMS Console or the Autodesk Vault Client.

Note: Purging items from the ADMS Console performs a vault-wide purge, whereas purging items from the Vault Client requires you to select specific items for purge.

When a lifecycle state is created, the administrator must identify which item and file versions in that state are retained during a purge.

For example, a lifecycle state can be defined so that all item versions in the Review State are purged except for the latest version when the Purge command is invoked.

Note: See Edit Lifecycle State Control Settings for more information.

If an item does not have a lifecycle assignment, the tip version of each item revision is retained and all other item versions are purged.
