Illustrative idea · RECORDS MANAGEMENT
Review records approaching expiry
Give a records owner time to check retention eligibility before information is removed.
Keep old process history from growing without review.
Illustrative idea, not a published runnable template. Grunt is prelaunch; live service is paused and live provider connections and outcomes remain unverified. The steps, providers, and outcomes below describe a concept.
Identify historical run records that may fall outside the team’s retention period and prepare a cleanup review. Confirm the scope and retention rules before any records are permanently removed.
Actual availability depends on published steps, supported connections, permissions, and provider approval.
Historical process recordsStored records describing past runs of the team’s processes
“Find records older than the approved retention period, summarize the proposed cleanup scope, and wait for an authorized person to approve deletion.”
Work through the request.
Clear tasks, with review where it matters.
- Confirm the approved retention period
- Identify records that may be eligible
- Check exclusions and open investigations
A reviewed cleanup proposal limited to eligible old records, or a clear hold when retention rules, record dates, or exclusions are uncertain.
What this workflow could do
Helps an operations team manage the size of historical process records while keeping retention decisions under human control.
Review points proposed in this idea
Deleting history can remove information needed for audits, investigations, or recovery. Confirm retention obligations, exclusions, backup coverage, and the exact deletion scope before an authorized person approves removal.
How the idea could work
Select an illustrative task to explore its proposed role. No workflow runs here.
-
Use the period established by the organization’s records policy rather than assuming that older information can be removed.
-
Prepare a count and date range for records that appear to fall outside the approved period.
-
Keep records subject to audit, legal hold, incident review, or recovery needs out of the cleanup proposal.
-
Show an authorized operations owner the affected record range and the expected impact before deletion.
-
Require explicit human approval of the exact scope and applicable backup or recovery safeguards before deleting records.
-
Keep the approved period, scope, reviewer, and completion status available for operational review.
Step 1 of 6
Confirm the approved retention period
Use the period established by the organization’s records policy rather than assuming that older information can be removed.
Proposed setup considerations
These are planning notes for the concept, not instructions for a currently available template.
- 01
Document the records retention policy
Set the approved age limit, applicable business requirements, and who may authorize a change.
- 02
Define exclusions and recovery safeguards
Identify records that must be retained and decide how the team confirms a usable recovery option.
- 03
Assign cleanup reviewers
Name who checks the proposed dates and record count and who may approve permanent removal.
- 04
Run a review without removing records
Check a proposed scope first and confirm that exceptions and protected records are excluded.
