Overview

Data retention analysis is a new feature in iDNA Applications version 3.3.0. It is the combination of collecting document age information from databases and analyzing it based on data retention policies configured for this database.

...

• Our database has approximately 141k documents which were last modified between 2009 and 2025.
  (If no later modification occurred, the creation time of a document is the last modification time)
  
  
• We set a retention policy of 4 years (starting at the current date), for which documents have to be retained
  
  
• That results in a retention cutoff date of September 23, 2021 (assuming the current date is September 23, 2025)
  
  
  
• Looking at that history, iDNA summarizes that approximately 26k 115k of documents (~18%~82%) are still inside the retention period
