   Additional Options

   If you need to purge data other than the available options, please contact Technical Support for Assistance.

   Quick Tip

   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".
