Setting agent preferences for the Web Navigator

The Web Navigator database includes three agents -- Purge, Refresh, and Averaging -- that help you manage the database. Before you use the agents, set up the preferences for them in the Server document for the server on which the Web Navigator runs. You can specify agent security, execution time, and schedule.
