    Purging in 3-6 month sets is recommended to prevent the archive/purge process from timing out.

    Example

    You started using X Dispatch in 1/1/2015 and want purge data from before 2016. You would archive/purge 4 times for a 3 month set. The first date to 3/1/2015, then 6/1/2015, then 9/1/2015, and 1/1/2016.


  4. If you selected "Attachments" or "Signature", select the attachment type or select "All".
