Archive Settings

As a way of storing and removing different versions of a Designer Element, Decisions archives older versions of an element before marking them for permanent deletion. To control the time taken and the type of objects that will be archived, users may adjust both the Archive Settings and the Archive Settings within the Designer Studio Settings, within the System Folder.

To access the Archive Settings:

1. From the Decisions Studio, navigate to System > Settings, then right-click Archive Settings and select Edit. 
2. Under Default Archive Days > Days, define the desired amount number of days. 
   Note on Default Archive Days 

   This setting is used to establish how many days any archived item remains before it is permanently removed from the Database. 

   

3. To define settings for a specific Type of Designer Element, under Archive Settings For Types, click ADD, 
4. From the Add Archive Settings For Types window, select or search for the desired Type Name then define the desired number of Days. Click OK and then SAVE to apply changes.
