Retention option valid for	Select the retention option’s length (the time span it covers). At least one generation interval must fit into this retention length. • By default, this period is 1 week. If you select a time retention option that spans a longer period, you should extend this value to at least match that period.

• When selecting the option “Keep one generation every <n> years”, the generations will be considered for the interval between January 2nd 00:00 until January 1st 23:59:59 next year. This may not be what is expected by users (e.g. January 1st 00:00 to December 31 23:59:59 same year).

• Instead, users can implement retention with the rule “keep one generation every year...”, where users can specify the start date and time of the interval (e.g. “Last day of December at 23:59:59” for an interval between January 1st 00:00 and December 31st 23:59:59).
