You can choose to perform some services yourself or have them done for you by a Tungsten Automation partner. When services are performed on your behalf by a partner, we call them managed services.

Services can be enabled on multiple levels, and each child node in the administration tree-view inherits its services from its parent. For example, if you disable a service for an account, that service will not be available for any of the accounts of that account.

Successfully processed documents are deleted from Tungsten AP Essentials after three months. Inactive documents are deleted one year after the last user interaction. Use the Storage service to prevent processed and inactive documents from being deleted.
