The DPE Retention Schedule

We recognised that a number of our customers needed a generic retention schedule to help get them started with their records management.

The retention schedule is available via the best practice menu if you are a customer.

The User Guide can be found under 'Using the Knowledge Bank':



The retention schedule will allow you to view generic retention schedules and copy them across to your own organisation as a way to produce your own retention schedule. It also gives you the ability to modify those copied records or add your own ones.
