8.3. Delete inactive project group

The OLAT administrator will be supported to delete inactive project groups. The workflow to delete inactive project group includes three steps :

  1. Inactive project group :

    List of project groups which have not been used since xx months(e.g. 24 month, limit can be configurated). You can inform the owners of selected project groups via e-mail about the imminent deletion of their groups.

    That deletion can be prevented by clicking Activate. You can select the project groups which you want to delete and press the 'send notification email' button. In a popup you can edit or disable the notification email. The selected project groups will be removed form the 'Inactive project group' list and moved to the 'E-mail sent' list.

  2. E-mail sent :

    List of project groups which have been notified via e-mail about the imminent deletion of their groups. The period for reaction (answer via e-mail or starting the groups) has not yet expired (e.g. 30 days, limit can be configurated). That deletion can be prevented by clicking Activate.

  3. Ready to delete :

    List of project groups which are ready for deletion. The period of 30 days for reaction has expired. By clicking Activate you can prevent the deletion of project groups.

    The deleted project groups can not be recovered.

The group will be archived in a ZIP file at : ARCHIVE_PATH/archive_deleted_groups/DELETE_DATE/del_group_DELETED_GROUP_NAME. The ARCHIVE_PATH can be configrated in build.properties with property 'archive.dir' (e.g. archive.dir=C:/temp/deleted_archive). The directory can be somewhere in the filesystem. The idea is, that the archive directory is outside of olat-system. The OLAT system did not use the archived data and the archived data can not be recovered into the OLAT system.
