Validity period of site pages
Overview
When creating a page, a validity period can be defined for this page.
For example, if a page is related to a specific event (a tradeshow, a promotion), this page must not be displayed anymore from a given date.
To prevent from forgetting it:
  • WEBDEV will inform the developer when opening the project according to a configurable frequency. A UI error will be automatically displayed.
  • The application server will send an email to a given address with a specific message.
The risks to forget are minimized.
How to?

Defining the validity period of pages

To define the validity period of a page:
  1. Open the page description.
  2. In the "Details" tab:
    • Specify the validity period of the page.
    • Click the "Configure the reminders" button. In the window that is opened, specify:
      • the email address of the recipient of the reminder. If the WEBDEV application server is configured to find the expired pages, a reminder message will be automatically sent to this address.
      • the text added to the reminder message.
      • the date for sending the reminder (one week and one day before by default). This date will also be used to display a compilation error of UI. This compilation error will indicate whether the validity period of the page was reached.
  3. Validate

Deleting the validity period

  1. Open the page description.
  2. In the "Details" tab, delete the validity period of the page.
