Adding new clients

[BlakeRichardson]

Just a quick query, when adding a client into the dashboard manually how long is this data kept? I.e. if I add a client and they connect and then don't connect again for another 12 months will their defined settings be retained or do they drop off at some point? 

I have checked the below but don't see anything that clearly stands out for added client data.  https://documentation.meraki.com/General_Administration/Privacy_and_Security/Cloud_Data_Retention_Po...

If added manually it should remain until removed.  An employee that was terminated was mistakenly removed from the network and later added back manually.  We periodically see that same ex-employee pass by (BLOCKED) - and it's remained working that way over the past 3+ years.

If you use this option you can see all clients you have manually added with a policy.

I don't think manually clients ever get removed.  I have seen some from a very long time ago.
