Illustrative idea · RECORDS MANAGEMENT
Review a scheduled retention cleanup
Give a records owner a clear list of material that may be eligible for removal.
Keep process history useful without removing records unexpectedly.
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.
Gather process history on a regular schedule and identify entries that have passed the organization’s retention window. Show the proposed cleanup and its cutoff to an authorized owner so they can confirm the policy and approve removal before records are deleted.
Actual availability depends on published steps, supported connections, permissions, and provider approval.
Process history reviewA scheduled or owner-requested review of retained process records
“Find records older than the approved retention period, prepare a cleanup list, and wait for an authorized owner before deleting anything.”
Work through the request.
Clear tasks, with review where it matters.
- Review retained process history
- Compare records with the retention window
- Check for holds and exceptions
A dated list of records proposed for removal, held for an authorized owner’s review and approval.
What this workflow could do
Helps an organization review process history against its records-retention policy.
Review points proposed in this idea
A retention cutoff can include records needed for an investigation, audit, or recovery. Confirm the policy, date range, and affected records with an authorized owner. Deletion is permanent: require explicit approval before removal and retain any records under a legal, security, or operational hold.
How the idea could work
Select an illustrative task to explore its proposed role. No workflow runs here.
-
Gather records within the approved area and keep their dates and identifying details available for review.
-
Identify entries older than the agreed period and show the cutoff date used for the review.
-
Flag records connected to an investigation, audit, incident, or recovery need rather than treating age alone as permission to remove them.
-
Have an authorized owner confirm the policy, records, and exact removal list before any deletion takes place.
-
After approval, verify which records were removed and retain an appropriate review record without exposing unnecessary details.
Step 1 of 5
Review retained process history
Gather records within the approved area and keep their dates and identifying details available for review.
Proposed setup considerations
These are planning notes for the concept, not instructions for a currently available template.
- 01
Set the retention period and owner
Document how long each kind of process history is kept and who is accountable for the policy.
- 02
Define exceptions and legal holds
List investigations, audits, and other reasons records must be retained beyond the ordinary period.
- 03
Restrict review and deletion access
Choose who may see the history, approve a cleanup, and carry out any approved removal.
- 04
Test cutoff dates and held records
Check records just inside and outside the cutoff, plus an item on hold, to confirm nothing is removed before approval.
