DOM/Temporary Settings
Customizing DOM Settings and Temporary Settings
With the WebData Management feature the DOM Settings and Temporary Settings options perform different actions for each of the different browsers.
Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge
Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge store data in the webcachev01.dat database with DOM and Temporary Internet Files data being no exception. The DOM Settings and Temporary Settings options allow removal of the relevant containers in the webcache database and the associated data in the user profile. WebData Management removes this data from the webcache and file system based on the settings configured.
Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge Chromium and Mozilla Firefox
The Chromium based browsers and Mozilla Firefox store DOM and Temporary Internet Files data in a different manner. For the Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge Chromium and Mozilla Firefox browsers, the DOM Settings and Temporary Settings options allow removal of this data accordingto a set of pre-configured rules which can be altered if required.
When the Browser Manager Agent is installed, a AvaniteWDMSettings.ava file is created in the C:\Program Files\Avanite\AvaWDC folder. This file contains the pre-configured rules which can be altered as required. The .ava file is a JSON formatted file which contains sections for Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge Chromium and Mozilla Firefox.
The JSON allows for the following to be defined:
| Denotation | Details |
| ProfileTempFolders | A list of folders relative to the browser profile root folder which are to be removed. |
| ProfileTempFiles | A list of files to be removed based on their extension. |
| TempFolders | A list of other folders outside of the browser profile which are to be removed. |
| DOMFolders | A list of folders relative to the browser profile root folder which are to be removed. |
| DOMFiles | A list of files to be removed. |
| Retention | Folders can have a “Retention” value specified (in milliseconds), where only files with a timestamp older will be removed. |
Out of the box the file contains:
