18.5. Multiple Retention Rules

There may be multiple retention rules that apply to a particular document.  For example, the Financial Planning Agreements are certainly filed to the client cabinet, and are also filed under the category and document type combination of FinPlan\Agree.  So, you may be asking, which rule "wins" the retention?  The answer is the one that retains the document for the longest period of time.

Let's use the following scenario as an example:  You have a Financial Planning Agreement with the modified date of 3/16/2009.  You move this document to the Salvage Bin on 7/1/2013.

The Client cabinet retention rule says the document should be purged from the Salvage Bin after it has been "deleted" 6 years.  Thus, this purge date is 7/1/2019
The FinPlan\Agree retention rule says the document should be purged from the Salvage Bin 12 years after the modified date of the file.  This purge date is 3/16/2021

The document will not be purged from the Salvage Bin until 3/16/2021 because that rule retains the file the longest.
