Hi,

The documentation can be found here:
http://www.interactivetools.com/docs/cmsbuilder/special_fieldnames.html

What you do is you create a field with a special name. In this case, it's a date field called removeDate. If you create this field in your section and set it for a record, then that record will no longer be available after that date.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Hi, Jason -

Just a thought...

Is there any way we can modify/configure the removeDate option in such a way as to make "today" a global setting for every entry in the table?

In other words, if an entry is older than today it just doesn't show up.

Do-able?

Hi,

You could set a default option for the date, but the default would be set to the current date, which you wouldn't want.

Another thing you could do is to not use the removeDate field at all, and just use code to not return any record that was created before today.

Hope this helps.
