Set Entity Data Lifespan

By default, the entity data lifespan is indefinite, meaning all inactive records continue to be stored indefinitely. For security purposes or to align with your organization's relevant policy, you can limit the lifespan of inactive entity data.

  1. Turn off the Entity Data Lifespan toggle for the entity. A Days field displays.
