For AP Document Recognition, there’s a screen called “Delete Outdated Recognition Results”. Help documentation recommends periodically deleting records to save space, but doesn’t say how long records should be kept (if at all). 

I’m wondering if the historical records are used to improve future recognition results. Or does the machine learn without referencing historical results? 

Should I keep 6 months (for example) of history or delete everything up to the current date?

Appreciate any insight!

The records in the "Delete Outdated Recognition Results" screen are mainly for review and audit purposes. They don't affect the accuracy or performance of the recognition process itself, as the system's machine learning improvements don't rely on these historical records.

So, you can safely delete older recognition results without impacting how well the system recognizes documents in the future. To free up space, it's a good idea to delete outdated records regularly. Keeping 3 to 6 months of history should be enough if you need to refer back for audit or troubleshooting purposes. There's no real benefit in keeping more than that.


Thanks @chameera71 for the recommendation!
