How the Retention Matrix Works
After you have created all the required retention events and retention rules you need, configure the retention matrix Retention Matrix (264) domain needs to be configured to tell . A Retention Matrix entry tells the system how to use each rule and appropriately apply them to the documents. The matrix will allow you to define how a rule applies each rule to different domains . You can see which rules are applied to a document record by clicking Edit.
Image RemovedWhen you click Edit you will see 3 fields on the indexing screen:
Retention Rule - These are all the rules that have everor to specific documents.
Image AddedA Retention Matrix entry contains the following sections:
Details - a descriptive name for the matrix entry
Retention Rule - a list of rules that have been applied to a document. If there is more than one rule applied, the rule with the shred date most in the future will be the rule that is used by the system.

Example: A document has two rules.
If the client account is closed, but the rep is still part of the firm after 6 years, then the first rule will expire, and the document will continue to be maintained. If 10 years pass after account closure, and the rep is terminated, the documents will be retained for another 7 years. |

Navigate to Administration>Retention Matrix (domain 264).
If permissions for your data role allow, click the New Retention Matrix button.
In the Retention Rule section, click Add. Note: This is where you add the rule you would like to define how the system should apply.
Optional: Explain why you created the rule in the Description field.
Optional: Apply the rule to a specific Image Holder Domain. (See the Applying to an Image Holder Domain section.) Note: The Image Holder Domain acts as the cabinet. Any records in the selected “cabinet(s)” will be affected by the retention rule.
Optional: Apply the rule to one or more document types. Note: If there is anything in the Image Holder Domains section, the system will only apply the rule to matching documents in the specified cabinets.Otherwise, the rule will apply to matching documents in ALL cabinets.
Each matrix record will most likely only utilize one of the following fields. Here is where you define which Folder/Subfolder/Document Types the system should apply the Retention Rule to.
Note: If all four of these fields are left blank, then the rule defined in the matrix will apply to ALL records. |
