Open the Audit Control Form.

To configure history archives:
- Archive History Every- The value specified is the interval at which records are moved from the active history table to a back up sub-table. Regularly archiving records keeps the active history tables at a manageable size and improves performance. Records in the sub-table can be exported to some other form of long term storage.
- Last Archived- These fields display the date of the last archive. It is updated each time an archive is performed or a change in the history table configuration occurs.
- The maximum duration a history archive can be performed is 1825 days (60 months or 5 years). The Please define a shorter backup period error message is displayed, if the specified value is greater than 1825 days.
