Alarm History is saved forever - unless you Choose to delete it.
UL® requires that Alarm History be preserved for at least one year.
Because of the size of the Alarm History records, you should Purge Alarm History periodically, based on your Company's records retention policy.
We do suggest that you Backup Databases prior to executing the purge.
In addition to this internal Alarm History Purging option, a separate, stand-alone, application is available that allows you to specify which types of Accounts, Alarm Conditions and Dealer's Alarm History are to be purged.
For more control over the Purging Process, see the MKS Purge chapter for detailed information on this utility.
