Archive configuration - workspace settings

Note: This part of the workspace settings is only available if you have purchased Signi Archive - Long-term document archiving.

If you have the Signi Archive service activated, you can set the document archiving period and specify after how many days documents will be automatically moved to the archive.

Turning the archive on or off

At the level of a specific workspace you can:

• Turn archiving on or off for the given workspace.
• The setting applies only to the workspace in which it is made.

Number of days before a document is archived

This setting determines the number of calendar days after which a document is automatically archived.

• By default this value is set to 30 days (the default setting for most clients).
• After the set number of days elapses, the document is automatically moved to the archive.

What happens after archiving?

After archiving, the document can be downloaded as a ZIP file, which contains:

• an uninterrupted series of timestamps, not just one
• the certificate chain
• archive metadata (json file)
• the document including attachments
• the audit trail

This ensures complete documentation and long-term archiving.

Default archiving period

The default archiving period determines how long documents will be kept in the archive.

• The period is set in years.
• It determines the total retention period of documents from the moment of their archiving.

Example:

• If you set the period to 10 years, documents will be securely kept in the archive for 10 years from the date of archiving.
