Reset Personal Data Retention Policies to Default

After the data retention policies have been changed, you can reset one or more policies back to their default values. Resetting the policies returns the retention period values back to the default recommended values, which are established according to guidelines issued by each country.

To reset one or more policies to default:

  1. Go to System Admin > Data Management Center, and then go to the Person Management > Policies tab.
  2. Select the checkbox next to each policy that you want to reset. You can use the checkbox at the top of the list to select all policies, or you can use the checkbox next to a country name to select all policies for that country.
  3. Click Reset to Default.
  4. In the confirmation dialog box, click OK.
  5. Click Save.

The retention periods for the selected policies will be restored to the default recommended values.

Note: Your changes will remove existing affected approvals (by country) and a new identify mode run will be required for those persons (under the affected country).
