Overriding the Default Retention Period

CA DLP permits reviewers and policy administrators to override the default minimum retention period. For example, a reviewer may need to put an unauthorized e-mail on litigation hold. They can do this in the Audit screen of the Data Management console by specifying that e-mail’s retention period never expires. Likewise, policy administrators can set a custom retention period for all events captured by a specific trigger. For example, they may want to retain events captured by an Application Monitor trigger for one month only, but retain events captured by an e-mail trigger for three years.

For details about overriding the default retention period, see the Administration Console online help; search the index for ‘minimum retention period’, then follow the ‘triggers’ sub-entries.
