This article will show you how to configure the Submission Data Retention Policy. Submission Data is collected when someone completes a form.
The Retention Policy can be set to "Do not store" (default), it can be stored forever, or it can be stored for any number of days. In order to activate a Retention Policy, you must agree to store data as per the Data Storage Disclaimer.
Submission Data Retention Policies can also be set for individual forms. This allows you to have a global retention policy of 365 days, but a specific form can have a retention policy of "Do not Store". Any Retention Policy duration can be set on a form as long as it is less than the Global Retention Policy duration. Meaning if the Global Retention Policy is set to 7 days, the form Retention Policy cannot be set to more than 7 days.
Important Note
- You will not be able to download submission data from the Submission History screens until you set up a retention policy.
