Table: Event Type Metadata Fields

Name

Description

SID

Don't modify. This field is a system-generated ID.

IS_ENABLED

This field controls whether the metadata can be assigned during data creation and updates, or if it is only preserved in existing data.

MODIFIED_TIME

Don't modify.

CREATED_TIME

Don't modify.

EVENT_TYPE_ID

Enter a short identifier for this event type.

NAME

Enter the name for this event type—for example, Shred.

NOTES

Enter any additional information about this media type.

END_OF_LIFE_F

Indicates if this event is an archival event. Retentions events, which specify that a record is now inactive and can be archived are fulfilled by this event type.

DESTRUCTION_CODE

Indicates what action should be taken by the server when an event of this type is processed:

  • NULL: (default) If NULL, it isn't a destruction event and no IRM data is affected. The event only removes data from iManage Work.

  • For all Destruction events, the content, and its children are removed in iManage Work. The destruction process differs in how IRM handles the records and it’s metadata.

    • 1: Destroy records and Metadata—Records (items) and metadata are removed from IRM.

    • 2: Destroy Partial Metadata—Records (items) are retained. Metadata is partially removed; Name and Description of the record or box, are overwritten.

    • 3: Retain records (items) and metadata (default)—IRM retains records and associated metadata, along with an audit log of the destruction process.

NOTE: If you use any value other than those listed here, it's treated as NULL.

METADATA_ID

Don't modify. This field represents an internal pointer to the table row. Library Manager assigns a value to this field after you select OK.

IS_TRIGGER_F

Indicates whether the item is a trigger or a disposition event.

IS_TIME_EVENT_DISPOSITION_F

Indicates whether this disposition is a TimeEvent type.

REQUIRES_SCHEDULE

APPLY_HOLD_F

Indicates that when this property is enabled, a retention hold on an item makes it ineligible for events of this type, that is, the item is removed from eligibility lists, searches, and so on. By default, this property isn't enabled.

  1. Select OK.
