Retention Period for Scans and Maps

What are the Scan/Map Retention Period columns?

In the Scans and Maps tab, a new column Scan Retention Period (Days) and Map Retention Period (Days) is added. These columns display the number of days after which the scan or map is to be deleted. This period is populated based on the selection you have made in the Storage Setup window. Once this period ends, the scan and map details are removed. To highlight the scans that have the retention period below 10 days, they are marked in red. 

The retention period for PCI scans is by default set to 3 years from the date of launching the scan. Therefore, the retention period you set in the Storage Setup window for scans, will not apply to PCI scans.

How to enable the Scan/Map Retention Period columns?

The Point Of Contact (POC) user can enable the Scan/Map Retention Period columns. To do so, the POC user must navigate to Scans > Setup > Scan Retention Period > select the Display Scan Retention Period column in the Scans and Maps tab checkbox.

Once the above checkbox is enabled, the columns are displayed in Scans and Maps tab.

How to change the delete scan and map results duration?

Once your POC has enabled the Display Scan Retention Period column in the Scans and Maps tab checkbox (Scans > Setup > Scan Retention Period), navigate to Scans > Setup > Storage > Storage Setup. In the Storage Setup window, you have the options Automatically delete scan results after 06 months and Automatically delete map results after 06 months. The default duration is 6 months, but it may vary based on your subscription service.
