IBM Enterprise Records, Version 5.1.2   

Enabling the record type property

You can display (unhide) the record type property to allow you to view and select record types when declaring records.

About this task

Tip:
  • Record types provide a mechanism for associating a disposition schedule with a record. The schedule associated with a record type takes precedence over any other schedule that impacts the record. Record types are created in the IBM® Enterprise Records web application and can be applied to records in one of two ways.
    • A record type can be associated with a record class. When the user selects the record class during declaration, they are also selecting a record type. With this method, you do not need to select or even be aware of the record type.
    • You can select the record type during declaration.
  • By using record types can cause performance implications, as additional processing is required to evaluate the record type schedules.
