;Archive data prior X days

:Archives any data created prior to the cut off date calculated from the number of days entered.

It is also possible to configure it so that OdataLink '''polls for changes'''. For more on polling, see [[Configure OdataLink to poll for changes]].

It may also be important to configure the [[Archive Paging]] option, which can force paging by month or year.

Line 40:

This is option is only recommended for those that need maximum security. It does come at the cost that some endpoints will be particularly slow.

~~=== Developer ===~~

When the '''Archive Type''' is set to '''Developer''', OdataLink will be optimised for developing reports. In this mode, Live data will only be served once every 8 hours. If a refresh takes place within 8 hours of the last refresh, it will instead served cached data stored in an encrypted archive.

~~The benefit is that it makes refreshes faster but at the cost of not always retrieving the latest data.~~

~~This is the default when creating a model.~~

~~This is the preferred option when building reports. It should be changed to '''Live''' or '''Live (no archive)''' once development is complete.~~
