Hi

It was very good to see the Archive feature being launched.  
Much easier than individually downloading all the data for each device.

I set it up for an old project, however it doesn’t seem to have processed any of the records (all of the data) that is older than 31 days.

I assume it’s not due to error in setup, though can’t be sure, though the setup works (re: S3 auth).

Is their some way to trigger older data to be archived ?

Thanks

Tim

To be honest, that is such an obvious request on top of this feature, I don’t know why that isn’t already a ticket in our system about it. I’ll add such a ticket right now. Thanks for pointing this out!
