About this task
The assessment process generates a considerable amount of data, some of which is not useful after a short time. Assessments include a scheduled job called Remove Old Assessment Data that is available to administrators only. The scheduled job removes these items if they are more than a year old:
- Assessment instance questions
- Assessment instances
- Metric results
By default, the scheduled job is executed manually. Administrators can configure the scheduled job to run automatically on a recurring schedule.
Procedure
Navigate to All > System Scheduler > Scheduled Jobs > Scheduled Jobs.
Open the Remove Old Assessment Data record.
On the Schedule Item form, set the Trigger type field to run the scheduled job on a recurring schedule.
It is recommended to set the scheduled job to run on a weekly or monthly basis.
Click Execute Now to run the scheduled job.
