Managing PET and Supplemental Table Expiration Dates

When creating a profile extension table (PET) under Manage Lists or creating a supplemental table under Create view/Supplemental table, you can now set an expiration date for both table types. After an expiration date has passed, the supplemental table or PET is deleted. If you set an expiration date for a table, the default is 90 days unless you specify another date. By default, all tables never expire.

Viewing a table's expiration date

To view a PET's expiration date:

  1. Click An image of the Data icon Data then Profile Lists. (Not seeing this choice? Refer to the Side navigation bar changes topic.)
  2. Click the Profile Extensions tab.
  3. Locate your table in the list.

    You'll find its expiration date in the Expiration Date column.

    Tip: If you do not see an expiration date, the table is set to Never expires, which is the default expiration date when you create a PET. See how to add an expiration date.
