Static retention purges documents when the user-specified time interval has elapsed. Only a Purging type Document Retention Processor needs to be run to destroy the documents when their associated time interval has elapsed. It is configured for Document Types or Document Type Groups that will most likely maintain a static retention period. The retention period is based on either the creation date of a document (date stored), the document date, or the Keyword value of a selected date Keyword Type.
For example, a manufacturing company produces a daily production report that may contain information that is relevant for up to ten days. After the tenth day, the information becomes irrelevant. Each daily report is purged when the retention period has been reached.
