Updating Retention Settings

About Updating Retention Settings

You can update the retention period for files processed by the files inbound connector and the Organization Hierarchy inbound connector after a job is created to define how long the processed files should be retained in the system before being deleted. This way you can define different retention periods for files that were processed successfully and unsuccessfully, or disable the option to delete the files after processing.
