Library Event History

The following Library Event History properties ”Limit number of days to view”, ”Limit Event History via Custom System Query Language File” and ”Optimize Load Time by Size” are tools to help with performance issues when viewing large amounts of Library Event History.

 

Limit number of days to view to

The user logged into DocuXplorer does not require administrative rights for this process to run. However, administrative rights are necessary to manually execute this process. To do so, please select Help > Product Updates from the main window.

Tip:

For Enterprise systems, please select only one workstation name to initiate the update process. This update will prompt all other DocuXplorer users to close the program on their respective workstations. Once all other workstations have been shut down, proceed to download and update the software just once. The updates will be automatically applied to all users connected to the server when they reopen DocuXplorer on their desktop.

 

Note that DocuXplorer Enterprise users who are not running the executable from the server will need to individually download and install the update on each workstation. To do this, select the "Product Update" option from the "Help" drop-down menu in the Menu Bar.
