Ordering
This input field specifies how items in the folder will be ordered. This specification
overrides the corresponding default set in the depot profile for folders. You can set
this flag using one of the three values:
T (By time saved) causes packages to be stored in chronological order by date and
time of being filed. T is the initial TRANSFER default.
C (By creator name) causes packages to be stored in alphabetic order by the
correspondent name of the correspondent who created the package; multiple
packages from the same correspondent are stored in chronological order according
to the time they arrived.
E (By earliest delivery date) causes packages to be stored in chronological order by
the earliest specified delivery date and time. (If you file a package before it is sent,
the creation date and time are used.)
Ascending (Y/N)
This input field specifies whether items ordered as defined in the Ordering Discipline
field will be stored in an ascending or descending sequence. For example, if a folder is
ordered by T (time of saving) in descending order, the most recent additions to the
folder appear first when the folder is scanned or read. Possible values are Y (yes) and
N (no).
The default is Y, for ascending order.
Duplicates Allowed (Y/N)
This input field specifies whether messages that have duplicate key fields can be
stored in the same folder. For example, if the ordering is by creator name, with no
duplicates allowed, no more than one package created by a given correspondent can
be saved in a folder. Possible values are Y (yes) and N (no).
The initial TRANSFER default is Y, to allow duplicates.
Keep Items For
This input field specifies a limit on how long a package is saved in the new folder
before TRANSFER discards it.
The interval can be from 0 through 9999 M (minutes), H (hours), or D (days) but
cannot be longer than the maximum retention time set for the depot.
The default for this value is zero minutes. An item retention time of zero means that
TRANSFER will never automatically eliminate a package.
