About retention folders

Your administrator may have set up Enterprise Vault so that your archives contain one or more special folders, called retention folders. In the sidebar of Enterprise Vault Search, retention folders have the following icon to distinguish them from standard archive folders:

Retention folder icon

Retention folders have the following features:

  • Depending on how your administrator has set up Enterprise Vault Search, you may be able to move items into and out of your retention folders. You can also add subfolders to your retention folders, if you want.

  • You cannot move, rename, or delete retention folders. As their name suggests, retention folders are intended to be fixtures of your archives.

  • The items in retention folders may have retention categories that those folders have imposed on them. For example, moving an item into a retention folder may cause the item's retention category to change to one that the folder has imposed. Similarly, you may find that you cannot change the retention categories of items in a retention folder, even if you can change the retention categories of items elsewhere in your archives. Again, this behavior is dependent on how your administrator has configured Enterprise Vault.
