You can apply a retention setting directly to an object
when you create the object. The retention you specify for the object
overrides the retention that is defined for the class.
About this task
You can set a retention setting for the following objects:
- Documents
- Annotations
- Custom objects
- Folders
If you create an object but do not specify a retention setting
for the object, the retention for the object defaults to the retention
period defined for the class. This might default to an object with
no retention.
Procedure

- In the administration console, run the wizard to create
a new object.

- In the object store navigation pane, select .
- Right-click the Root Folder or
a folder under the Root Folder and click New
Subfolder, New Document, or New
Custom Object.
- Complete the wizard to create the object.
- Click the new object and select the Retention tab.
Set retention for the object.
