The Retention module provides destruction rules for cases and emails messages. An administrator can set retention policies that will help organizations reduce their database size and be compliant with regional privacy laws.
The longer a solution runs, the more likely it is to accumulate data that is no longer relevant. For example, email records from two years ago are typically not important for an agent to know about when resolving active customer issues. Old data may eventually cause performance issues by consuming system resources and slowing down queries and reports.
