# Setting Report Consolidation Period

The **Reports Limits** section allows you to set the consolidation periods for reports. The report engine summarises a range of things into per hour/day/week/month and year levels. This section allows the  Admin to determine how many of each of these summary levels to keep. By setting this limit, the system will adjust the **Threshold Date** in the **Reports** section. The Start Date will not return data earlier than the Threshold Date for the selected Summary Period.

1. Navigate to **Adv Configuration** > **Reports Limits**.
2. Enter / Select the required values in the fields.
3. Click the **Save** button.
4. The report consolidation period will be set successfully.
