Report Files Retention Period

These files are available for 30 days; after this time, the data still exists stored in the database, although it's not downloadable via the email link sent to you.

Reporting Data Retention Period

In Explore (UI and API): The setting Reporting Data Retention Period allows admins to define for how long Talkdesk should keep the account’s historical data. If the value is “1” (minimum value), we will show you the data for 1 day. If you don't set any value in the Reporting Data Retention Period you will have access to the historical data defined at the report/dashboard/dataset level. Check more information in our Data Dictionary and Developers Docs.
