Overriding the Default Retention Period

CA DataMinder permits reviewers and policy administrators to override the default minimum retention period. For example, a reviewer may need to put an unauthorized email on litigation hold. They can do this in the Audit screen of the Data Management console by specifying that email’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 email trigger for three years.

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