IMPORTANT: When records are destroyed, they're deleted from iManage Work at cloudimanage.com and cannot be retrieved or restored.

Records aren't destroyed immediately when events to destroy records are created or added to a schedule, or applied to workspaces, folders, or subfolders. Records are destroyed when tasks defined by these destroy events are executed manually or automatically.

  1. Select Requires Review if the event requires review.

    If events require a review, Disposition reviewers can view them on the Disposition Review page.
