What are unfinished objects?

Unfinished objects are created in i-doit when a new object is initiated via the New button but not saved — for example, because the browser was closed, the page was left, or a session timeout occurred. Clicking Cancel also creates an unfinished object.

Why does this matter?

Unfinished objects occupy object IDs and may count toward the license. A large number of unfinished objects can affect the available object count.

Cleaning up unfinished objects

There are two options:

1. Manually: Navigate to Administration > System Tools > Cache / Database and run the cleanup for unfinished objects

2. Automatically: A cronjob can perform the cleanup on a regular basis:

sudo -u www-data php console.php system-objectcleanup --objectStatus 1

Set up a daily cronjob for automatic cleanup to avoid license issues caused by accumulated unfinished objects.
