Overview

Computing Services has adopted a policy to purge Andrew Calendar Events and Tasks that are older than three years. This purge will take place annually each June. Removal of this information has become increasingly critical to the performance of routine server functions.

If Events and Tasks that you deem important will be affected by this purge, you may use Andrew Calendar's export feature to archive your data. Exported data can be read by several types of applications, depending on the format you select. Applications include calendar tools, spreadsheets and other applications that are capable of reading a text file (e.g., NotePad, WordPad, etc.)

Notables

The following lists details on how the purge handles your data:

• Repeating meetings are stored as a list of dates on which they will happen. Only the instances which fall before the purge date will be removed. In other words, the start date is "bumped up" so that it is after the purge date.
• Tasks will be purged if the start, due and completion date are ALL before the purge date.
• The Andrew Calendar Address Book will NOT be affected by the purge. Note that the Andrew Calendar Address Book feature was never officially supported by Computing Services.
