Reset the QCFUM Insights Reporting Baseline

Reset Insights does not delete Joomla users, Invite Links, created-user history, Tracker records, or audit rows. It stores the current QCFUM timestamp as a reporting baseline so future Insights counts only include qualifying onboarding activity from that point forward.

The action is protected by the Insights administrator permission and records an insights_reset audit event.

Reset the Baseline

  1. Open QCFUM Administrator → Insights.
  2. Review the current scorecard and active date filters.
  3. Choose Reset Insights and confirm the prompt.
  4. QCFUM stores the current timestamp in insights_reset_at.
  5. Reload Insights; the page displays the new “counts are shown from … forward” baseline.

What Changes

creatorScorecard() adds the baseline to both the created-user and Invite-Link joins. Older qualifying rows remain in their original tables but no longer contribute to the Insights scorecard.

What Does Not Change

  • No Joomla account is changed or deleted.
  • No Invite Link status is changed.
  • No Tracker or approval record is removed.
  • No audit-log cleanup is performed.
  • The reset does not change the submitter stored on historical records.

Date Filters Work in Addition to the Baseline

From/To filters are layered on top of the reset timestamp. A From date later than the baseline narrows the period further. A To date before the baseline can legitimately produce no Insights activity.

Reset Is a Reporting Decision

Use the baseline when you want a new reporting period without destroying source history. If records actually need retention cleanup, that is a separate Scheduled Automation/audit-retention configuration.
