Change the Default Percentage for Item Preservation

To change the percentage for item preservation from the default value of 10%, you must create a profile option with the MSC_ACCEPT_PERCENT_OF_DELETED_ITEMS profile option code.

You can then enter a whole number for the profile value for use during item preservation in place of the default value. For example, if you create the profile option and enter a value of 25, the items to be deleted are retained with a warning if their percentage is 25% or more of the number of items in your plan’s scope.
