Retention Events
I've been doing some testing with retention events and can't seem to get them to work.
A Crawled Property has been added to RefinableString01 and I can get search results using this, and also get the correct amount of results when using Content Search. The event was created a month ago, but still showing as 0 items processed.
A second event was also created using ComplianceAssetID and this is also showing as 0 items processed after a month.
A couple of blogs on how to create the events have been followed, and all say the same thing about setting everything up and the fact the if the data appears in Content Search using the search string then you should get results with the event,
When would I expect to see items appear as being processed?
Is there something I've missed, maybe a licencing issue?

Hi Steve, I wrote a post on my blog about this subject as I also couldn't get event-based retention to work, but it does now. See https://andrewwarland.wordpress.com/2024/10/22/steps-involved-in-event-based-retention/
For info, it took almost 4 weeks for my event-based retention labels to work.
One of the things that I still haven't worked out though is why, when you can search for 'ComplianceAssetId:"ASSETID" from any SharePoint search bar, you cannot use the same search in Content Search via Purview. I'm not sure what the issue is with Content Search; it was easier just to search for the code itself.
