# System Configurations

This section plays a critical role in ensuring that the information system is properly configured, secure, and efficient. This section covers several areas, including data lake configuration, retention policies, entity resolution, etc. In DataBee, you can select the data lake to store and analyze large volumes of data. The retention policy section involves defining the retention policies for the search history stored in the system.

Click on the settings icon at the top right corner of the portal, and from the dropdown menu select **System**.

Select the **Retention** button, which takes you to the “Retention Policies” page. Here, you can enter the number of days you want to retain the user Search History. Click on the **Submit** button to configure your retention policy.

Customers have full control over data retention policies within their cloud environment. Data retention can be configured to age out records automatically based on organizational requirements and compliance needs.

Retention settings can be applied at a per-table level, allowing different retention timeframes for different datasets depending on their operational or regulatory importance.

Customers who need guidance on defining appropriate retention periods or configuring retention policies in their cloud environment can open a [support ticket](/user-manual/docs/customer-support-portal) for recommendations and implementation assistance.
