Communications	FR 3232	Improved efficiency on indexing body text for message and notification search This release provides enhancements for storing message/notification body text in the Azure search index. Discontinue storage of notification body text – Communications no longer stores the body of notifications in the Azure search index. A one-time process will remove all existing notification bodies from the index. Also, the Body field is disabled when Notifications are selected as the Type in Communications search. An information icon informs users that body searches only apply to Messages. Data life-cycle management –CostGuard automatically removes message body text from the search index for aged messages related to Workflow, Customer Care, Tickets and Communications after a set number of days. When a body text search is performed against an aged message it will return no results. Instead users will get a warning indicating body text search is not available for aged messages. Note: This release includes four new Archive Messages actions in Workflow that are set up specifically for Data Lifecycle Management. They are not intended for any other purpose and do not require any configuration by CostGuard users. Note: With these enhancements users will be unable to find notifications and aged messages when searching the body text, however, the original message and notification body text is still intact. Users can navigate to items using other search criteria to see full body text.
