Enterprise Vault™ Managing Retention

About controlling retention

In general, a retention category that you set at a lower, more granular level, takes precedence over a retention category that you set at a higher level. For example, if you set a retention category for a provisioning group, this overrides the retention category that is set in site properties. However, there are some situations where this general rule does not apply. This chapter describes these situations, and gives advice on what you need to check to make sure that the required retention category or plan is applied as expected.

Table: Where to assign retention categories and plans lists where you can assign retention categories and plans, and describes how other settings or features may override the retention plan or category. When you configure retention, review the information in Table: Where to assign retention categories and plans in addition to the information in this chapter.
