Modifying the retention setting for an existing object

An object can have a retention setting ranging from no retention, where the object can be deleted at anytime, to full retention, where the object can never be deleted. You can increase but not decrease the retention setting for an object.

Before you begin

To modify the retention setting of an object, you must first modify the retention permission.

Procedure

To change the retention setting of an existing object:

  1. In the administration console, access the retention settings for object.
    1. In the domain navigation pane, select the object store.
    2. In the object store navigation pane, select Browse > Root Folder.
    3. Click the Root Folder or a folder under the Root Folder. Open a folder if you are accessing a document or custom object.
  2. Click the object and select the Retention tab. Set retention for the object. The existing retention period can only be extended. You cannot set the retention date to an earlier date than the current setting or to no retention.
