Deletion configuration

Reached from Deletion / reconcile on Sync configuration.

Settings

Deletion strategy

Type
One of a list
Default
Ignore

What to do with M-Files objects whose Elements counterpart no longer exists.

  • Ignore — Leave orphaned objects untouched.
  • Flag — Set a boolean "deleted in Elements" property to true.
  • Archive — Move the object to a configured workflow state.
  • Destroy — Permanently destroy the M-Files object.

'Deleted in Elements' property

Type
M-Files property

Boolean property set to true when Strategy = Flag.

Archive workflow

Type
M-Files workflow

Workflow used when Strategy = Archive.

Archive (deleted) state

Type
M-Files workflow state

State the object is moved to when Strategy = Archive.

Restored state

Type
M-Files workflow state

Optional. When Strategy = Archive and an object that was moved to the archive state reappears in Elements, the sync moves it to this state. Leave empty to keep restored objects in the archive state (a warning is logged for each). With Strategy = Flag the 'Deleted in Elements' property is cleared instead, and this setting is not used.

Minimum retained (%)

Type
Whole number
Default
50

Safety floor against Elements API changes being read as mass deletions. If a sync returns fewer than this percentage of the objects the previous run saw, the new result is rejected rather than published, and nothing is deleted. Set to 0 to disable the floor (not recommended).
