Records management refers to managerial activities, such as planning, controlling, and organizing the creation, storage, usage, retrieval, and disposal of records. Records management includes all of the activities that you perform to maintain records throughout the lifecycle of creation, active use, inactive storage, and disposition. All of the records management features and controls that are offered by IBM® Enterprise Records are available to federated Content Federation Services for Content Manager OnDemand documents.
After Content Manager OnDemand content is federated and declared, the content can be tied to dynamic retention policies, such as account closure, policy termination, and contract execution. You can use records federation services to retain content for a certain amount of time starting on the date of the event.
The records management process ensures that documents that are declared as records are not deleted until the time that is specified by the records management disposition schedule. A retention hold can be applied on the Content Manager OnDemand load or on individual documents within a load.
