# Expire at Regular Intervals

Use the following procedure to expire documents at regular intervals.

To expire documents at regular intervals

1. Open the IDOL Content component configuration file in a text editor.

2. Find the `[Schedule]` section. If the configuration file does not contain a `[Schedule]` section, add one.

3. Specify the following parameters in the `[Schedule]` section:

   - `Expire`. Set to `True` to enable an expiration schedule.

   - `ExpireTime`. Specify the time (`hh:mm`) at which you want the expiration operation to start.

   - `ExpireInterval`. Specify the number of hours that elapse between individual expiration operations. Set to 0 (zero) to perform the operation daily.

   For example:

       [Schedule]
       Expire=True
       ExpireTime=00:00
       ExpireInterval=24

4. Set the following parameter in the individual database sections to specify where to archive the database documents when they expire:

   - `ExpireIntoDatabase`. Specify the name of the database in which to archive expired documents. To delete documents when they expire, do not add this setting.

   For example:

       [News]
       ExpireIntoDatabase=Archive

5. Save and close the configuration file.

6. Restart the IDOL Content component for your changes to take effect.
