Can anyone help`me, When to use "Forget" option in Meraki Client dashboard.

Remove historical data for this client?

This action will have the following effects on this client:

Remove usage data

Remove traffic analysis data

Remove event log entries

Remove the client's detail page

Remove from the client List

Note: The historical client data will be made inaccessible on dashboard, but will continue to contribute to aggregate statistics and usage totals for this network.

If a forgotten client connects to this network in the future, it will be treated as a new client

FYI it's more effective to use the PII API to remove client data:

Using the "Forget" button can lead to some unexpected consequences such as: https://community.meraki.com/t5/Dashboard-Administration/Issues-allowing-clients-back-on-network-aft...
