I have a vague memory of retention policies, and I think it might be 20 instances, but that seems high.

I've got a good feeling about this. The default behavior is probably a set number of instances, so I'll just need to pick the right option.

Okay, let me see. If there's no retention policy, the default is usually a limited number of instances. I'll have to choose the option that seems most likely.

I think this is a pretty straightforward question. The key is to remember the default behavior when no retention policy is configured.

Hmm, 10 seems logical. Unless the administrator has a penchant for hoarding reports, then it might be 20.

20 instances? That's overkill. I'm going with 10 as the safe bet.
