Housekeeping is a special task that runs each night. The task recalculates many of the values in the database, such as the 'Days on Loan'. Some aspects of Housekeeping only run every weekend but you can manually run them when required by altering the settings and forcing the task to be run.
To access the housekeeping settings, open the Scheduler Interface and click the settings icon on the 'Housekeeping' row.
The Housekeeping settings box has 4 options: Clean up Classifications, Clean up Keywords, Optimise Photos and Reset Options.
Clean Up Classifications
This task only runs by default on Sundays, it recalculates the Classification drop down list and tidies them up. Checking this option will force this to be done the next time housekeeping is run.
Clean Up Keywords
This task only runs by default on Saturdays, it recalculates the Keywords drop down list and tidies them up. Checking this option will force this to be performed the next time housekeeping is run.
Optimise Photos
This task optimises how the photos are stored in the database. Normally this is only run at the request of the Reading Cloud helpdesk.
Reset Options
This option resets these tick boxes after the next run, meaning they will only apply to the next Housekeeping run, rather than all further runs.
Saving
Click 'OK' when you are happy with the changes.
The configured settings will take effect next time the task runs, this can be set up to run on a daily basis by selecting the clock icon. To force the task to run through now, return to the scheduler interface and click the 'Run Now' icon on the Housekeeping row.
