can not change Sharepoint retention policy
Hi Cummunity, I have a strange issue with our Retention policy, (covers Exchange,SP, OneDrive and Groups) the issue is specific for SharePoint: I have a policy (this work) on retaining data and sites for 7 years, Now I want to Include or Exclude sites, when I fill in the address of the SP Site, it cannot find the site, it states: "No data available", no matter what format I fill it in. I copied the address of the site, filled it in, still, "No data available". Not in include and not in exclude. In the past I have filled in 1 site, this is still there, I can delete the site, but not re-enter the site, still states "No data available". Somewhere it does not connect to the 'Active sites' (we have about 130 sites) What could be the problem? (I am Global Admin) Please help!
Information Management Policy - SharePoint list - Retention not applied for existing items in a list
I have a SharePoint online site which has a list where we have enabled 'Retention' under Information Management Policy settings. The policy has to delete items from the list that are older than 6 months (Created date). However, despite configuring correctly the policy seems to not have applied as none of our older items got deleted. The list has around 8500+ records and the policy was created very recently. Can anyone suggest what might be the reason ? Below is the snapshot of the configuration:Preservation Hold library not appearing when both retention labels and policies are applied
It is already known that retention labels published as retention policies 'trump' retention policies created directly in the Information Governance section of the Compliance admin centre. When retention labels are published to all SharePoint sites, they are visible ('explicit') as an option when you choose to 'Apply label to this library' in the document library or list settings. When they are published to specific SharePoint sites, they are only visible in that site, in addition to the 'global' labels. When retention policies are created in the Info Governance section and applied to individual SharePoint sites, they normally create a Preservation Hold library that is visible (via /_layouts/15/viewlsts.aspx?view=14) only to Site Collection Admins, SP Admins and Global Admins. As these policies are invisible to end users they are sometimes described as 'implicit'. They don't include the option to review disposition before deletion. There is nothing to stop you having a combination of explicit retention labels/policies and implicit retention policies on a single site. However, when you do this it appears to hide the Preservation Hold library BUT still deletes content in line with the implicit policy - the deleted content (deleted by 'System account') is in the Recycle Bin. Does anyone have any suggestions how to view the (apparently) hidden preservation hold library on a site that includes explicit retention labels/policies? And no, you can't try '/PreservationHoldLibrary/Forms/AllItems.aspx'. It says 404 not found.
