Best Practices and Considerations

  • Establish a regular maintenance schedule: Organizations should establish a routine schedule for data maintenance activities. Performing routine cleanups, such as purging old records or merging duplicate users, prevents the database from becoming bloated and keeps the system running smoothly.

  • Verify data before executing permanent actions: Always verify your data and adhere to local retention policies before executing a permanent merge or purge. Because many data maintenance actions permanently alter or remove records from the database, administrators must ensure they are not accidentally deleting active user data or historical financial records required for compliance.
