Keep Vault Data Consistent with Database Records in Aras Innovator

In Aras Innovator, every files normally link to particular Item by Property or Relationship. When deleting Item, relevant physical file will not be removed. Obviously, these orphaned files will increase with time, of course it could be treated as a special way to protect physical files from accidentally deletion.
In order to keep vault data consistent with database records, variable "Force.Delete.Orphaned.Files" can control if system need to handle physical file or not. But this variable does not exist in default, you need to create it by yourself. If set to 1, orphaned files will be removed together once relevant Item is deleted.

Search Tips in Aras Innovator

In "Jus Ask Innoavtor", we could learn some tips for querying data in simple search mode. But I would use those tips with examples to make it easier to understand. Suppose there are 5 records in my database. Exact String Matching Input words or terms without any special symbol will execute exact string matching. Input "A0119B/11101", 1 record returned.
