From the NSP Menu, select File Server.

The left pane displays the Directory List; the content pane, which is adjacent, lists the objects in the selected directory, and the collapsible Info pane at the right side displays information about the currently selected file or directory.

On the File Server page, click File Server Settings in the upper right-hand corner.

The File Server Settings form opens with the Global Policy settings displayed.

To update the global policy:

1. Configure the following parameters, as required:

   • Retention Period (Days)—maximum number of days before files are purged; default 100, range is 1 to 1500

   • Threshold %—percentage of disk space at which file are purged; default 90, range is 50 to 95

   • Cleanup %—percentage of total disk space purged on the file server when critical threshold is reached; default 20, range is 1 to 50

2. If required, use the Ignore List drop-down to choose a file specification to exclude from the global purge settings; see Ignore Lists for information.

   The directory is excluded from the global purge policy.

   Note: If required, you can apply specific purge settings to the excluded directory using an override policy, as described in Step 4.

3. Click SAVE.

To create an override policy, perform the following steps.

Note: You can add multiple directories to an override policy.

1. In the Override Policies panel, click ADD DIRECTORY. The Select Directory form opens.

2. In the Search Directories field, type all or part of the directory name and choose from the auto-complete list.

   The directory is added to the list.

3. Configure the following parameters:

   • Allocated space—disk space allocated to the directory and subdirectories

   • Retention Period (Days)—maximum number of days before files are purged; default 100, range is 1 to 1500

   • Threshold %—percentage of disk space at which files are purged; default 90, range is 50 to 95

   • Cleanup %—percentage of total disk space purged on the file server when critical threshold is reached; default 20, range is 1 to 50

4. If required, use the Ignore List drop-down to choose one or more file specifications to exclude from the override policy purge settings; see Ignore Lists for information.

   Note: The file specification that you choose is used for a string search in the directory and subdirectories. For example, if the override policy names the /MyDir directory and you add an override for /MyDir/Temp, each file and subdirectory below /MyDir whose name begins with Temp is excluded from the override policy.

5. Click ADD & SAVE DIRECTORY.

To modify an override policy:

1. Click on the policy line and choose Edit.

   The Update Purge Policy window opens.

2. Modify the policy settings, as required.

3. Click UPDATE DIRECTORY.

   The policy is updated.

To disable an override policy, click on the policy line and choose Disable.

The policy is disabled, the policy Status changes from Enabled to Disabled, and the global policy settings apply to the directory named in the policy.

To delete an override policy:

1. Click on the policy line and choose Delete.

   A confirmation dialog appears.

2. Click DELETE.

   The policy is deleted.
