Document status
Active: The default status of a document. Otherwise, if the retention base has been set to Entry Date, a document whose retention period in the FileNet database has not expired.
Closed: When the document's retention base is the Entry Date, the FileNet system changes the status from Active to Closed when the retention period expires. When the retention period is based on the document's Close Date, a user must explicitly close the document. The retention period then starts rather than ends with the Close Date.

Delete: When the retention period for the document expires, it is eligible to be deleted.
Archive/Delete Date
Determine the date the document expires and becomes eligible for either archiving or deletion from a FileNet database. You can base this date on either the date the document was enteredselect Entry Dateor on the date the document was closed select Close Date.
When the retention period that was based on a document's entry date expires, the FileNet system changes the document's status from Active to Closed and the document immediately becomes eligible for archiving or deletion.
When the retention period is based on a document's close date, the retention period starts rather than ends with the Close Date and the document is not eligible for archiving or deletion until the retention period expires.
Plus _____ months
You enter the number of months to be added to the Entry Date or Close Date. The system adds the months you specify to the entry or close date then calculates and displays (in the Delete Date field) the actual date that the selected document will expire.
