How to Turn on the URL Checker

Modified on Wed, Mar 25 at 4:28 PM

Summary 

A Housekeeping process, if turned on, will check the validity of URL attached to resources in the catalog. Where applicable, URLs identified as invalid are marked accordingly. To activate the process, a housekeeping process must be turned on. Only staff with applicable User Privileges can access the Housekeeping option. 

 

This guide will provide the steps required to activate the URL checker functionality. A separate guide provides general information on all the Housekeeping processes.
