Setting up archiving using policies and configuration settings
You can use configuration settings or policy settings, or a combination of both to set up archiving for IBM® iNotes®. You can determine how and where users can archive, and whether archive preferences are available to users in the iNotes client.

policy was available for a user. Configuring archiving for all users on a server
About this task
To set up server or local archiving for all users on
the server, use these settings in the mail server's configuration
settings document under Other Settings:
- Archiving on server - Enable (default) to allow users to create archives of their mail files on the server.
- Local Archiving - Enable to allow users to archive locally to their own system.

- Allow local archiving - Enable this setting to allow archiving locally for an individual. If this setting is not enabled, the associated user preference does not display. If neither archiving setting is enabled, the archiving preference pane does not display.
Using archive policy settings
About this task
You can also use archive policy settings to prohibit
archiving entirely, or to allow archiving based on criteria that you
define, but prohibit users from creating their own archiving criteria.
The following archive policy settings are on the Basics tab:
- Prohibit archiving - Enable this setting
to disable all archiving functions. Enabling this setting removes
the Archive Preferences pane and the Archive section in the navigator
pane of the mail Inbox. Note: This setting takes precedence over both the configuration settings document settings and mail policy document settings.
- Prohibit private archiving criteria - Enable
this setting to prevent users from creating their own archive criteria.
Users can open their archives, but will see archive destinations as
defined by the assigned archive policy. Note: Enabling this setting disables archive preferences.
