RE-OPEN A CONTAINER (REMOVE THE CLOSED DATE) ON A FOLDER OR BOX

This document describes how Record Coordinators can remove a Closed Date that has been entered on a folder or box. This task can only be completed by Division Record Coordinators; end users do not have this permission.

NOTE: Record Coordinators are only able to remove Closed Dates on Active records. If this change needs to be made on an Inactive or Archived record, the Record Coordinator will need to enter a Help ticket asking that Records staff open the record’s access settings so that the needed changes can be made.

 

1.       Right-click and select Archiving, then Re-open Container. The following dialog window will appear.

                                

 

2.       The options in this dialog are your choice; make the selections you prefer according to the work you are doing.

a.       For example, if the documents need to be modified, you would check the box to unfinalize the documents. On the other hand, if you want to preserve the documents as they are so that no changes can be made, you will want to leave that box un-checked.

3.       Click OK.

a.       If you are asked if it is okay to overwrite the log file, click “Yes”.

This will remove the Closed Date from this Container and also any of its “children”, i.e., subfolders, or folders for a Box.
