Staging rules prevent your image cache volume from being completely filled to ensure the system functions normally. These rules apply additional configurable constraints to determine deletion and archiving eligibility of studies. This determines the aggressiveness of the Autopilot. You can modify the default settings on the Staging Rules tab to optimize Autopilot functionality to suit the needs of your system.
If a study satisfies the study status constraint or the hours since created constraint, it is eligible for archiving. This restriction does not apply to deletion staging rules.
 | Note: The study status constraint in the staging rules is ignored after a study has not been modified for 7 days. |
To modify a rule to archive or delete studies in cache
On the Setup tab, click Autopilot Management.
Switch to the Staging Rules tab.
From the list at the bottom of the tab, select the staging rule to edit.
Click Save.
