Scheduling Content to Begin and End
Scheduling lets you control when a version of content becomes visible on the Web site. Similarly, you can remove content on a predetermined date and time. When used together, a start and end date can relieve you of much work by managing how long a version of content is viewable on your Web site.
You can also set options for what happens to a content version upon reaching its end date.

Setting an End Date on Content
How Does It Work?
When you create or modify content, you can select a “go-live” date and time. If you do, and the content makes it through the approval chain, Ektron CMS400.NET publishes the content to the live site at that time.
For example, your company is having a sale of the century in a month, and everything is ready except the announcement. You decide to update your Web site to let the public know about the sale. With this feature, you create the Web content now and set it to go live a week before the sale.
The Ektron Windows Service manages these changes to your site. See Also: Ektron Windows Service
