Run the check
- Enable the plugin in Repository settings > Plugins.
- Right-click and open Repository > Health > Run repository health check.
To run it every time the repository opens, turn on Check the repository when it opens in Repository settings > Settings. It runs in the background. When something is wrong the report opens by itself; for anything less a message offers to Open it, and a clean repository just says so.
Read the report
Findings are grouped by how much they matter:
| Group | Findings |
|---|---|
| Problems: these stop documents being filed or found | documents that cannot be read; documents not named in seven fields; values used by documents and missing from the vocabulary |
| Worth cleaning: nothing is broken, but the repository is drifting | documents of zero length; groups of documents with identical content; values described by nothing but themselves |
| Notes: tidying, whenever it suits | values no document uses; the duplicate check not run on a remote repository |
Act on a finding
- Show narrows the document list to the documents of that finding. A tag above the list marks it; remove the tag to see everything again.
- For a value without a description, type one and press Save.
- For a value nobody uses, Remove takes it out of the vocabulary.
Duplicates are compared by content, not by name: two copies under different names are found too. Keep one of each group and delete the rest.
