Review expiration date per document-level
Hi all,
I have a question about an event-driven retention label in my Microsoft 365 test tenant.
I have created a retention label 'Employee records' configured to retain items for 10 years with 'Start of the retention period' configured as 'Employee activity (event type)', the default template.
Next, I deployed the retention label with a static retention label policy to a team site in SharePoint.
The label has succesfully been provisioned to the site.
When I apply the retention policy 'Employee records' to the document, I can fill in the Asset-id value in the dedicated column. As per my understanding, this would mean that all documents are initially permanently retained until the event occurs. Then, when I create the event from the 'Records management' overview, the 10 years retention period kicks in. Am I correct?
Now, I would like to check at document level what the 'expiration date' would be. This way I could verify and confirm if the retention policy works as expected. Is there such feature available within Microsoft 365?
Thanks for all help provided.
JoostvdLinden Hi! Your understanding of how event-based retention works is correct.
There currently is not a way to view the individual document expiration date. Please add this suggestion to our feedback portal: https://aka.ms/DLM/Feedback
