SetExpirationDate API

Sets the expiration date of the specified document. When a document reaches its expiration date, infoRouter can optionally notify a designated user a configurable number of days before expiration. Expiration is informational metadata — it does not automatically archive or delete the document.

SOAP Request

<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"

    <tns:SetExpirationDate>
      <tns:authenticationTicket>3f2504e0-4f89-11d3-9a0c-0305e82c3301</tns:authenticationTicket>

    </tns:SetExpirationDate>
  </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

Notes

To disable expiration notifications, pass 0 for both notificationAgentId and notifyBeforeDays.
The notificationAgentId must be the numeric user ID of a valid infoRouter user. Use GetAllUsers to look up user IDs.
UTC date values are automatically converted to the server's local time zone before storing.
To remove the expiration date entirely, use RemoveExpirationDate.
Expiration does not automatically lock, archive, or delete the document. It is metadata used to drive notification workflows.
Use GetDocument to read the current ExpirationDate attribute before calling this API.

RemoveExpirationDate - Remove the expiration date from a document
GetDocument - Get document properties including the current ExpirationDate
GetAllUsers - Look up numeric user IDs for the notificationAgentId parameter
