Using the Data Purge Condition

Datasets may be purged of records during automatic backups. Purging of data is not enabled by default. An implementation engineer may enable data purging when configuring automatic backups.

Datasets with dynamic operational data are the only datasets that may be configured for purging. For additional information, see Configuring a Data Purge Condition. This includes details such as alerts, conversations, and messages. Additionally, the history of items such as deliveries, responses, and presence along with other day to day activities can be included in these datasets.

Datasets with static configuration data should NOT be purged. Examples of static datasets are Users, Devices, and Locations.

If purging is enabled, the records that are over 90 days old will be deleted from the system. Implementation engineers can change the filters defined for each of these conditions. They can additionally define purge conditions on other datasets as appropriate. See Working With Condition Filters for additional information.

The following list shows all the datasets that are configured for purging, once an Implementation Engineer enables data purging:
Note: Unless noted, the purge condition contains an additional condition for "created_at"; which is 90 days in the past.
