The data retention period is the period of time that we will store your team data for you. The team data refers to all the posted time from the team members and is independent of the team member personal time information in their timeline.

The options available for the data retention period are based on the type of plan you are on and are visible in the plan table above. By default, the 'maximum eligible' is always selected, so that if you upgrade your team the data retention period automatically updates to the longest length available.

You can alter this period at any time, however, note that when the period is decreased, the time entries and reports that are older than your specified data retention period will be removed irretrievably.

Here you can choose if your team members are able to post time to the team without any team tags selected. When you create a connection, this will default to 'yes'. With this set to 'yes', it means that an error message will appear if team members try to post a time entry without at least one tag applied to it. 

If you are connected to your billing system, the tag lets WiseTime know where to place your posted time information. This means without a tag, time information will not enter the connected system. This setting is a great way to ensure that all entries are assigned a location within the connected system.

The activity type is used for connected systems. Some systems require an activity type to process the entry correctly or to correspond to billing settings. Here you can set the global team setting to 'yes' to ensure that team members do not post time without a relevant activity type.

• Include details from time entries by default (9)

This determines whether or not the detailed time entries (eg. the windows title information) is sent through to your connected system. Depending on how your system connection is configured, this detail might be added to the main description in the invoice or an appendix or notes section. The checkbox for this setting will always be editable for each group you post, however, this setting allows you to choose your default state.

Any changes that you make to the team settings must be Saved (10).

You can also delete the team (scroll to bottom of page for button) from this page, however, please note, that this action is final and will remove all team data from the system.
