Access Retention Policies application
The Retention Policies application is available on every space in your Organization, when enabled for your Organization under Administration in Application Access or Data Governance in the Palantir platform. To access, navigate to the relevant space in Control Panel, then select Retention policies.
Home
The Retention Policies home page lists the system, legacy and custom policies that are applied on the selected space.
Use the filter bar on the right to filter policies by name.
Select the > icon on each line to view policy details.
System policy view
When viewing details of a specific system policy, you will see a list of datasets and transactions selected for use in the policy as shown in the image below:
The Selected datasets section lists the datasets included in this policy, followed by the list of transaction selectors to determine that transactions that will be deleted. In the example, the policy selects all datasets in the space; for each dataset, the policy will delete all aborted transactions.
System policies cannot be edited by the space administrator. Contact Palantir Support if you need to disable a system policy.
Legacy policy view
Some Foundry instances contain a set of legacy policies expressed in a YAML format. These policies can be viewed using the Custom policy list by selecting the > icon on each row marked with the Legacy policy tag.
You can only edit a legacy policy if you have Edit permissions to the repository where it is stored.
Custom policy view
Similar to system policies, you will see a list of datasets and transactions selected for use in the policy as shown in the image below:
Unlike with system policies, custom policies can be edited by clicking the Edit button and subsequently the Save button after making changes.
Policy additions, changes, or deletion may require approval requests rather than being saved directly. If so, after giving a title and a description to the approval request, you will be routed to the Approvals application. The request may invoke automatically (not requiring any other approvals) if it's possible due to your permissions, or require further approvals from other users from others depending on how your instance and space are configured. If you would like to prevent approval requests from invoking automatically, file a support issue.
