Purging Data from the Web Module

Over time, the number of reports, storages, and user's analyses (the result of analysing a storage) will become large. You can therefore delete reports, storages or analyses from your Web Module(s) that are older than a certain date.

You can purge data from the Web Module manually, or automatically via Tasks.

To purge data from the Web Module manually:

  1. Go to the Web Module tab, select your Web Module and click Connect
  2. Click the Purge link under the Content task pad. This launches the Purge Web Module Wizard.
  3. On the Web Modules page, select the Web Modules that you want to delete data from and click Next
  4. On the Purge Range page, select the types of files you want to delete (Analyses, Reports or Storages), and the range of files you want to delete (All files, Files older than n Years/Months/Weeks/Days/Hours, or Files created before a certain date)
  5. Click OK to proceed with deleting the files from the Web Module

To purge data from the Web Module automatically via Tasks:

  1. Go to the Tasks tab and select an existing task or create a new one on with the desired schedule (such as 1 am each day)
