BCMS offers the ability to define data retention policies to support organizational or regulatory compliance requirements, as well as serve to ensure organizations have the ability to limit unbounded growth of the BCMS (and potentially Proton) dataset. The default settings for BCMS are to automatically delete data on a rolling 90-day window, each night at midnight. The values can be adjusted by using the drop-down menu. Alternatively, data retention policies can be entirely disabled by switching the button to the left (off) position.
