Declaring a record

You can declare a document to be a record. A document that is a record can no longer be edited or deleted, except by an administrator.

To declare a document as a record:

1. Highlight a document in the list.

2. From the kebab menu select More Actions and then select Declare As Record.
   The Declare as Record dialog box appears.
   Figure: Declare a record dialog box
   

   

   
   You can reverse this decision and undeclare a record for a specific period of time. For more information, see Undeclaring a Record.

3. Select Declare File as Record to declare the document as a record.
   When you have declared the document as a record, the Record icon appears next to that document in the document grid.

When you declare a document as a record, the action is recorded in the document’s history.

You can use the Open command to open the declared document in its native application, make changes, and subsequently save it back to the iManage Work library as a new document or a new version of the original document.
