Retention period

In ‘Privacy’ in the Website tree, you can set default retention periods for forms. These retention periods determine the period of time that participants of a form can be saved in the system, and the period of time that forms without participants and the corresponding page can be saved in the system.

However, it is also possible to set a separate retention period for a specific form. You can do this in the section ‘Retention period’.

For both removing participants and removing form(page)s without participants, you can choose ‘do not delete’, or a period of 1, 3, 6 or 12 months. After this period, the participant or form will be removed. Click ‘save’ to save the retention period.

It is always possible to start using a different retention period later on. Select the correct period and click ‘save’.
