Past Status Retention Customization in Simple In/Out
February 25, 2026
Today, we’ve added a new setting to Simple In/Out that lets administrators choose how long Simple In/Out retains past statuses across your organization for your reporting needs.
Historically, we’ve kept past statuses for as long as you’ve been a customer and the user existed on your in/out board. Most consider the ability to run reports for as long as you’ve been a customer to be a powerful feature. Still, others worry about the privacy implications of that much data being accessible to their users. These folks have requested that we keep past status records for shorter periods. Striking that balance required us to be flexible, which is where this new setting comes in.
Organizations can now have Simple In/Out purge these past status records on a rolling basis, keeping records for only a year, a month, or even as little as a week. Importantly, we default to our historical behavior of keeping your records for as long as you are a customer.
You can access this new setting on Simple In/Out’s website today by logging in, clicking Settings in the upper-right, followed by Data Processing on the left.
