Setting retention for a new object

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: 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

To set retention for a new object:

  1. In the administration console, run the wizard to create a new object.
    1. In the domain navigation pane, select the object store.
    2. In the object store navigation pane, select Browse > Root Folder.
    3. Right-click the Root Folder or a folder under the Root Folder and click New Subfolder, New Document, or New Custom Object.
    4. Complete the wizard to create the object.
  2. Click the new object and select the Retention tab. Set retention for the object.
