Set Lifetime of Completed Human Tasks and Annotations (Comments)
You can set the lifetime of completed annotations
and human tasks.
The lifetime is the length of time after the associated entry is deleted. For example, if the lifetime for an annotation is set to 60 days, the annotation is deleted 60 days after the associated report is deleted. If the lifetime for a human task is set to 120, the human task might be deleted 120 days if all linked reports or dashboards are deleted.
The default lifetime is 90 days for completed human tasks and 180 days for completed annotations.
For more information about human tasks, see Managing Human Tasks. For more information about annotations (comments), see the IBM Cognos Dashboard User Guide.
