Device History
The Device History setting determines a period of time within which the data is kept on mobile devices. The minimum period is one month and the maximum period is one year. When selecting a period you should take into account that the longer the period is, the larger is the database file on mobile device, and consequently the more processing resources it takes on mobile device. Note that while out-of-period data is automatically removed from mobile devices, all the data remains available in the Back Office application.
