# Configuring Report Retention Settings

By default, Orchestrator retains full reports for 1 year and summary reports for 3 years in its database. However, you can specify any other time period, which allows you to consume less storage space by deleting reports that are older than the specified period:

1. Switch to the **Administration** page.
2. Navigate to **Settings**.
3. In the **Report retention** section, specify for how long you want full and summary reports to be retained in the Orchestrator database.
4. Click **Save**.

::: important

The specified retention settings will apply to all Orchestrator reports in all scopes.

## Configuring UI Inactivity Timeout

By default, Orchestrator signs you out if the Web UI is inactive for 60 minutes. However, you can modify this interval — for example, decrease it to reduce the risk of unauthorized access.
