stored if nothing else is specified for individual sources, is
defined in the XProtect Transact Administrator window,
on the General settings tab.

For ever: Store Transaction data for ever.
Even when Forever is selected, the ability to store
transaction data will be limited by the available disk space
on the computer running the XProtect Transact Database.

Days to store: Specify the required number of days for
which to store transaction data for the source in question.
The number of days may be higher as well as lower than

be available for browsing in the client applications. Make sure the
number of days is sufficiently high to cover your organization's
needs.
