1 Introduction

This section covers the following topics:

Section 1.1, "About This Guide"

Section 1.3, "What's New"

Section 1.4, "Using Help"

1.1 About This Guide

This guide provides instructions to use the product software. In general, it does not contain details about setting up the product. For example, this guide contains instructions about browsing retention schedules but it does not contain instructions for creating those schedules. Details about setting up the software is contained in the Oracle WebCenter Content Setup Guide for Records.

A glossary of frequently used terms is also included in the Oracle WebCenter Content Setup Guide for Records.

Details about processes are contained in either this guide or the Oracle WebCenter Content Setup Guide for Records. If a task can only be accomplished by users with administrative privileges, that task is discussed in the Administrator's Guide. If the task can be accomplished by users with administrative or user privileges, it is discussed in the User's Guide.

The information contained in this document is subject to change as the product technology evolves and as hardware, operating systems, and third-party software are created and modified.

This guide assumes you are using the Trays layout and that you have some familiarity with Oracle WebCenter Content and its use. References to appropriate documentation are made throughout this documentation to assist in finding the information.

In this document and other documents in this product set, the terms "content" and "record" are synonymous and are used interchangeably.

1.2 About This Product

Oracle WebCenter Content: Records is an enterprise-wide 5015.2 Chapter 2 and Chapter 4 certified electronic and physical records management system. It provides a single application that can be used to create and administer the information life cycle for both physical and electronic information. It allows organizations to apply retention policies as well as legal discovery and holds to relevant content across the enterprise, from e-mail attachments and content stored in file servers to physical records in a warehouse. It also has a framework for extension to other repositories via adapters.

The following options are available after installing the software:

Minimal: Installs a small amount of the Records system metadata fields and a limited subset of disposition actions. This is the initial default when the software is enabled.

Typical: Enables Physical Content Management as well as all disposition actions and all features except for DoD Configuration (Department of Defense), Classified Topics, FOIA/PA tracking (Freedom of Information Act/Privacy Act), and Email.

DoD Baseline: Enables the features from a Typical installation with the addition of DoD Configuration and Email.

DoD Classified: Enables all features except for FOIA/PA.

Custom: Enables the ability to choose a variety of features. Note that some disposition actions are dependent on other actions. If an action is selected, dependent actions are also automatically selected.

This documentation describes features available in the majority of configuration scenarios. The features available at your site will vary depending on the options chosen during configuration.

1.3 What's New

The 10g version (and older versions) of this software were divided into two editions:

Records Manager DoD Edition, which was used for DoD compliance tracking

Corporate Edition, which did not contain many of the features included in Records Manager DoD Edition.

As of the 11g release, much of the product functionality has been merged and functionality can be chosen after installation by selecting different features for configuration.

The classification scheme hierarchy functionality for use with the Model Requirements for the Management of Electronic Records (MoReq2) specification is also new for this release. This functionality can be enabled by setting a configuration variable.

Sites that are upgrading from previous versions of the software will see increased flexibility and functionality. Specific differences are available in the Installation Guide for the product.

The following list discusses some specific changes to the product from previous releases. The features at each site vary depending on the options chosen at configuration:

The definition of a record is now configurable. Options on the Create Retention Category page allow a records administrator to choose whether items in that category can be revised, deleted, edited, or are permanent.

Physical Content Management documentation is incorporated into this documentation at this release. Separate documentation no longer exists for Physical Content Management.

A print option is now available on every page.

Menus have been extensively changed. Most options are now available by using the Records or the Physical menu option on the Top menu.

You can easily view your assigned rights by going to the My Profiles page. Retention administration rights are shown there as are your assigned roles.

A dashboard is now available that can be used to quickly organize product features for easy access and use. This is discussed in detail in the Oracle WebCenter Content User's Guide for Records.

Out of date content (not the current version) is now designated as such with a line through the content name in search results. Any item that is obsolete, canceled, rescinded, and so on is designated in this manner.

Page navigation menus on the search results page have changed. If more results are returned than are configured in the User Profile page, the page navigation menu indicates that other pages of information are available for viewing.

A Favorites listing can be created, similar to bookmarked browser Favorites. Users and aliases as well as categories, freezes and other retention objects can be added to the Favorites menu. Favorites items are used to populate option lists, such as when creating freezes. For example, if an item is on your Favorites list, it appears on the list when you choose a freeze name. This helps to narrow the choices when using this functionality.

Content stored in folders can now be transferred to volumes. When a volume is created, all content in the folder is moved to a newly created volume folder.

Services used in this product are now documented in the Oracle WebCenter Content Services Reference Guide. See that guide for details about the services used and how to implement new services.

Screening can now be accessed through the search menu.

Folios can be used to easily manage content. With this release, when a folio is locked (either by freezing or filing in a category that prohibits edits), the folio and its content are automatically cloned, and the bundle is locked, thus preventing the folio from being edited.

Related content links can now be created for items on the content checkin page.

Oracle WebCenter Content: Records, in conjunction with Oracle WebCenter Content, has been verified by a third party to be compliant with the technical elements of FDA 21 CFR Part 11, specifically the electronic signature portion of that specification.

1.3.1 Conceptual Changes in this Product

In previous releases of this product, the term record was used to designate those items of content that could not be revisioned. Therefore, a designation was made between content and records.

In this release, any item of content can be revisioned if revisioning is allowed. One of the initial setup choices is to allow revisions or to prohibit revisions of content. You can now finely tune which categories, folders, and content are revisionable, editable, or which can be deleted. Content, categories, and folders are no longer designated specifically as record categories or record folders.

1.3.2 Documentation Changes in this Product

The documentation set for this product has been substantially revised to reflect new functionality and changes.

In addition, several task descriptions have been moved from the administrative guides. Any task that can be performed by either a user or a privileged user (administrator or user with other administrative privileges) is now documented in this guide (the Oracle WebCenter Content User's Guide for Records).

1.4 Using Help

In addition to the guides provided with the product, information about product functionality is available with context-sensitive tooltips, quick help, and the help menu.

1.4.1 Tooltips

If the mouse cursor is held over a field label in a web browser, context-sensitive information on the field label is displayed. A question mark is displayed then the tooltip appears.

Figure 1-1 Field Label Tooltip

When using Netscape or Firefox as a web browser, tooltips are also available for items in options lists, provided the list items are not custom entries.

Figure 1-2 Option List Item Tooltip (Only Supported by Netscape and Mozilla Browsers)

1.4.2 Quick Help

Click Quick Help where available to view context-sensitive help.

2 Understanding Retention Management

This section covers the following topics:

Section 2.1, "Management of Retained Items"

Section 2.2, "Basic Retention Management Concepts"

Section 2.3, "Physical Content Management"

Section 2.4, "Interaction with Oracle WebCenter Content"

Section 2.5, "Basic Retention Processes"

2.1 Management of Retained Items

Oracle WebCenter Content: Records effectively manages content items on a retention schedule. The focus of records management tends to be the preservation of content for historical, legal, or archival purposes while also performing retention management functions.

The focus of retention management tends to be the scheduled elimination of content based on a schedule designed by a record administrator.

This software combines both record and retention management into one software system. It can track and preserve content as needed, or dispose of content when it is no longer required.

This section covers the following topics:

Section 2.1.1, "What To Retain"

Section 2.1.2, "Lifecycle for Retained Content"

Section 2.1.3, "Types of Retained Content"

2.1.1 What To Retain

Items for retention are any form of information, both physical and electronic, that is important enough for an organization so they must be retained for a specific period and may be disposed of when no longer needed. However, it can be revisioned, retained and can be managed on a disposition schedule. An organization may choose to manage content to eliminate outdated and misleading information and track documents related to legal proceedings.

Many organizations are subject to regulations that require the retention of information for a specified period:

Sarbanes Oxley:

Applies to all publicly traded corporations or companies that may become public

Audit-related working papers, communications, and correspondence must be retained for five years after the audit

Government organizations: DoD 5015.2, General Records Schedule

Pharmaceutical/health care industry: HIPAA, FDA regulations

Financial services: SEC Rule 17a

Telecommunications industry: 47 CFR 42, and so on

There may be litigation-related needs for effective and efficient retention management:

Policy-based retention of content:

Retain information needed for litigation (for example, a contract and any communication relating to it).

Centralized searching and retrieval of that information.

Systematic disposition of eligible content:

Less material to search through during discovery.

Less material to give to opposing counsel.

Suspend/freeze disposition of content relating to pending litigation:

Avoid appearance of cover-up and possible liability when content relating to pending litigation is destroyed.

There may be business-related needs for effective and efficient retention management:

To organize items that are created in a variety of forms (email, CDs, DVDs) and which are stored in a variety of locations (employee computers, central file storage, and so on).

To provide a uniform infrastructure for retrieving and sharing the content across the organization.:

The information may be required for the day-to-day operations of the organization and must be kept for historical, tracking, or audit purposes (for example, receipts, order histories, completed forms, personnel files, corporate announcements).

The information may be necessary to the success or survival of the organization (for example, software source code, contracts, financial data).

There may be internal policies or external regulations requiring the information to be retained (for example, transaction documents, financial statements, lease agreements).

To ensure that content items are retained over the period they are useful to the business.

Oracle WebCenter Content: Records manages all content, regardless of source, in a single, consistent, manageable infrastructure.

2.1.2 Lifecycle for Retained Content

The lifecycle of retained content goes through several stages.

Figure 2-1 Life Cycle of Retained Content

The filing date is the date a content item is marked as an item being tracked. This often coincides with the checkin date. However, it is possible for an active content item already checked in to be tracked.

The information may need to be for different periods of time, depending on the type of content, its use within the organization, and the need to comply with external laws or regulations.

The cutoff of a content item is the moment the status of the item changes and the item goes into disposition. An item may be cut off after a specific period, at a specific event, or after an event.

Items are disposed of by authorized people according to the requirements of the organization. Disposition actions can include destruction, storage, transfer, or an item can be deemed so important it will never be destroyed (for example, due to historical significance). "Disposal" in this instance indicates a status changes from active use.

2.1.3 Types of Retained Content

Retained content can be divided into categories depending on the perspective:

Section 2.1.3.1, "Internal and External Retained Content"

Section 2.1.3.2, "Classified, Unclassified, Declassified Content"

Section 2.1.3.3, "Non-Permanent, Transfer or Accession, and Reviewed Content"

2.1.3.1 Internal and External Retained Content

An internal retained content item is an electronic item stored within Oracle WebCenter Content and managed by the product.

External content can also be managed. An external retained content item is a source file not stored in Oracle WebCenter Content. It can be in a variety of formats, both physical or electronic. The software can manage the disposition schedule, search metadata associated with the external file, and manage an electronic rendition of an external file. An electronic rendition can either be checked in as a primary file of an external item, or be filed as a separate file, and then linked to the external file metadata.

2.1.3.2 Classified, Unclassified, Declassified Content

Content can be classified, unclassified, or declassified.

Classified content is that which requires protection against unauthorized disclosure (for example, because it contains information sensitive to the national security of the United States or because it is essential for a corporation's operation).

Unclassified content is not and has never been classified.

Declassified content was formerly classified, but that classified status has been lifted.

A classification specifies the security level of a classified content item. A classification guide provides default classification values for checkin pages.

Options can be chosen during the initial setup to insure that the system complies with the DoD 5015.2 standard (including Chapter 4). The software has been certified by the Joint Interoperability Test Command (JITC) to comply with that standard. A copy of the standard is available on the official web site of the Department of Defense, Washington Headquarters Services, Directives and Records Division at http://www.dtic.mil/whs/directives/.

Important:

Executive Order 12958: Classified National Security Information describes in detail the system for classifying, safeguarding, and declassifying national security information. This guide assumes you are familiar with proper classification protocols.

2.1.3.3 Non-Permanent, Transfer or Accession, and Reviewed Content

For disposition purposes, content is categorized into non-permanent, transfer or accession to NARA, and subject to review. Most items fall into the non-permanent category.

Non-permanent items are usually destroyed after a retention period. Permanent items are deemed important for continued preservation and are retained indefinitely (for example, because of their historical significance).

Items can be scheduled for periodic reviews by authorized people. This complies with the DoD Vital Record Review criteria.

2.2 Basic Retention Management Concepts

Oracle WebCenter Content: Records is used to manage content, regardless of source or format, in a single, consistent, manageable infrastructure. Managed items are assigned retention schedules and disposition rules that allow users to schedule life cycles for content to eliminate outdated or superseded information, manage storage resources, or comply with legal audit holds.

Content and its associated metadata are stored in retention schedules, which are hierarchies with categories that define disposition instructions. Access to the items is controlled by rights assigned to users by a Records Administrator. The items can be accessed, reviewed, retained, or destroyed in an easy and efficient manner by authorized people according to the requirements of an organization.

Disposition schedules of content in the repository can also be managed, enabling the scheduling of life cycles for content to eliminate outdated or superseded information, manage storage resources, or comply with legal audit holds.

The following concepts are important to understand in the context of retention management:

Record administrator: individuals in the organization who are responsible for setting up and maintaining the retention schedule and other aspects of the management system.

Record user: individuals who use the software to check content in and out of the system, to search for records, and to perform other non-administrative tasks.

Record officer: individuals who have limited administrative responsibility in addition to the responsibilities of a record user.

Administrator: individuals who may maintain the computer system, network, or software at the site where the management system is in place.

The retention schedule is an organized hierarchy of series, categories, and record folders, which allows users to cluster retained content into similar groups, each with its own retention and disposition characteristics.

A series is an organizational construct in the retention schedule that assists in organizing categories into functional groups. Series are normally static and are used at a high level in an organization hierarchy. They can be especially useful if a large amount of categories are used. A series can be nested, which means a series may contain other series.

A retention category is a set of security settings and disposition instructions in the retention schedule hierarchy, below a series. It is not an organization construct but rather a way to group items with the same dispositions. A category helps organize record folders and content into groups with the same retention and disposition characteristics. A retention category may contain one or more record folders or content items, which then typically follow the security settings and disposition rules associated with that retention category. Retention categories cannot be nested, which means a retention category cannot contain other retention categories.

A record folder is a collection of similar content items in the retention schedule. Folders enable content to be organized into groups. A folder typically follows the security settings and disposition rules associated with its assigned retention category. Folders can be nested, which means a folder may contain other folders.

Disposition is the collective set of actions taken on items. Disposition actions include wait times and activities such as transfer to external storage facilities, the destruction of temporary content, deletion of previous revisions, and deletion of all revisions.

A disposition instruction is created within a retention category, and typically consists of one or more disposition rules, which define how content is handled and what actions should be taken (for example, when and how content should be disposed of).

A period is the segment of time that must pass before a review or disposition action can be performed. Several built-in periods are provided (for example, "one year"), but custom periods can be created to meet unique business needs.

A trigger is an event that must occur before a disposition instruction is processed. Triggers are associated with disposition rules for retention categories. Examples of triggering events include changes in status, the completed processing of a preceding disposition action, or a retention period cutoff.

A link is a defined relationship between items. This may be useful when items are related and need to be processed together. Links are available for items stored both in and out of the retention schedule.

A classification specifies the security level of a classified item. It is used in the process of identifying and safeguarding content containing sensitive information. Typical classification levels are "Top Secret," "Secret," and "Confidential," and "Unclassified."

A classification guide is a mechanism used to define default values for several classification-related metadata fields on the content checkin pages for content. A guide enables convenient implementation of multiple classification schemes.

Freezing inhibits disposition processing for an item. Frozen content cannot be altered in any way nor can it be deleted or destroyed. This may be necessary to comply with legal or audit requirements (for example, because of litigation). Freezing is available for items stored both in and out of the retention schedule.

External items are those that are not searched and processed in the same fashion as retained content. External content usually refers to content managed by Physical Content Management or managed by an adapter (an add-on product).

Federation, Federated Search, Federated Freeze are functionality used to manage the process of legal discovery. Using Federated Search or Freeze, a legal officer can search content across all repositories to gather information needed for legal proceedings.

2.3 Physical Content Management

While the Records system enables organizations to manage the retention and disposition of content, PCM provides the capability of managing physical content that is not stored in the repository in electronic form.

All items, internal and external regardless of their source or format, are managed in a single, consistent, manageable infrastructure using one central application and a single user interface. The same retention schedules are used for both electronic (internal) and physical (external) content.

PCM tracks the storage locations and retention schedules of the physical content. The functionality provides the following main features:

Space management, including definition of warehouse layout, searching for empty space, reserving space, and tracking occupied and available space.

Circulation services, including handling reservation requests for items, checking out items, and maintaining a due date for checked-out items.

Chargeback services, including invoicing, for the use of storage facilities and/or actions performed on physical items.

Barcode file processing, including uploading barcode information directly into the system, or processing barcode files manually.

Label creation and printing, including labels for users, storage locations, or individual physical items.

Retention management, including periodic reviews, freezes and litigation holds, and e-mail notifications for pending events.

2.4 Interaction with Oracle WebCenter Content

The following layouts and search templates are supported. Users can change layouts and templates by setting them in their user profile:

Supported layouts:

Trays

Top Menus

Supported search templates:

Headline View

Thumbnail View

My Headline View

The Classic layout or the Classic View search template are not supported. This guide assumes you are using the Trays layout.

2.5 Basic Retention Processes

The following steps outline the basic workflow of retained content:

The retention schedule and any required components, such as triggers, periods, classifications, and custom security or metadata fields are created.

Items are filed into the retention schedule by users. The filed items assume the disposition schedules of their assigned category.

Disposition rules are processed in accordance with the defined disposition schedules, which usually have a retention period. The processing is activated by either a system-derived trigger or custom trigger. The trigger could affect one or more items simultaneously.

Whenever a disposition event is due for action (as activated by a trigger), an e-mail notification is sent to the person responsible for processing the events. The same is true for review. The pending events and reviews are displayed in the pages accessed from the Retention Assignments links within the user interface.

The Records Administrator or privileged user performs the review process. This is a manual process.

The Records Administrator processes the disposition actions on the pending dispositions approval page. This is a manual process.

A batch process is run to process an approval.

Many disposition schedules are time-based according to a predictable schedule. For example, content is often filed then destroyed after a certain number of years. The system tracks when the affected content is due for action. A notification e-mail is sent to reviewers with links to the pages where reviewers can review and approve content and folders that are due for dispositions.

In contrast, time-event and event-based dispositions must be triggered with a non-system-derived trigger (a trigger that was defined for a particular scenario). For example, when a pending legal case starts litigation, the Records Administrator must enable the custom trigger and set its activation date because the start date information is external. Custom triggers can define event and time-event based disposition actions based on the occurrence of a particular event.

3 Interface Overview

This chapter describes the key elements of the product interface. It covers the following topics:

Section 3.1, "Interface Menus"

Section 3.2, "Dashboards"

Section 3.3, "My Favorites"

Section 3.4, "Icons"

Section 3.5, "My Rights and My Roles"

Section 3.6, "Profiles"

Section 3.7, "Menus"

3.1 Interface Menus

This product has four main menu locations where product functionality can be accessed. Note that this product is highly configurable, so the options seen on any menu may vary depending on what options have been enabled.

The following four primary menu locations are available:

Top menu: This menu contains a Records option as well as a Physical option (if Physical Content Management is enabled). This menu can be used to quickly access different parts of the Records system and Physical Content Management (PCM) products.

Page Actions menu or Page menu: On many pages, an Actions menu (a small box with horizontal lines in it) appears at the top of the page. Options in this menu pertain to the items at that level in the hierarchy. For example, an Actions menu appears on the Exploring Retention Schedule page. At that level of the product hierarchy, reports about the retention schedules can be created.

Table menu: On most pages that list items (triggers, retention categories, content items) a menu appears at the top of the listing. By selecting a box next to an item, multiple items can be affected at one time. For example, on an Exploring Retention Category page, options appear above the listing of items in that category.

Individual Actions menus: Items listed on a page will often have an individual Actions menu. The options on these menus vary depending on the item and its location in the retention hierarchy.

The following list summarizes the most commonly seen individual Actions menu options:

Information: Used to access information pages for folders, life cycle of the item, recent reviews, metadata history, and retention schedule reports. On some Information Pages, additional options appear to edit ore revise the displayed information.

Edit: Provides quick links to edit pages for folders or reviews, and options to alter an item's status by moving, closing, freezing, or unfreezing an item.

Set Dates: Provides quick links to actions associated with dates, such as marking items for review, canceling, rescinding, and expiring items.

Delete: Provides options to delete the item or perform a recursive delete (delete an entire tree if multiple items are checked).

Create: Provides options to create items appropriate to the location in the hierarchy. For example, if this is the Actions menu for a retention category, Create sub-options include Series and Retention Category.

3.1.1 Interaction with Desktop Integration Suite

Desktop Integration Suite (DIS) is a set of applications that integrates the desktop experience with Oracle WebCenter Content, Oracle Content Database, and other WebDAV-based content repositories. DIS provides a simplified interface for managing files in a unified way from all familiar desktop applications. For example, users can drag and drop files into the retention schedule by using DIS integrated with the Records system.

DIS is not discussed in detail in this documentation but in the Oracle WebCenter User's Guide for Desktop. Mention is made throughout this documentation to indicate those actions that can be taken using DIS.

3.2 Dashboards

Dashboards can be created to allow immediate access to frequently used aspects of the software. Each dashboard is composed of panes that hold different types of functionality, such as search boxes, lists of information, or access to other web sites. The dashboard can be customized so frequently performed tasks, such as pending reviews, pending approvals, and so on, are easily accessible.

If actions can be taken in a dashboard pane, icons appear in the top right corner of the pane. Those icons can be used to perform actions directly from the dashboard. For example, if you have a Pending Review list in one pane, you can select the checkbox for a review then click the Approve icon (a green checkmark). The review will be approved directly from the dashboard.

Default dashboards are provided. To access this functionality, choose Records then Dashboards from the Top menu. Choose User to access the user dashboard. If you are assigned administrative privileges, another dashboard is available. To view it, choose Admin.

Create a new dashboard by selecting elements for it or edit the default dashboard. For more information, see Section 3.2.2, "Editing a Default Dashboard" and Section 3.2.3, "Creating or Editing a Personal Dashboard."

To use the dashboard as a home page at login, choose Actions then Set as Home Page. To remove the dashboard as the home page, click the user name in the top right corner of the screen. The My Profile page opens. Select Remove Dashboard Home Page.

3.2.2 Editing a Default Dashboard

Use this procedure to edit the default dashboards or other personal dashboards:

Choose Records then Dashboards from the Top menu. Select the dashboard to edit.

The User or Administrative dashboard opens.

Choose Save As from the Actions menu. The default dashboard must be saved under a new name before it can be edited. A dialog opens. Enter a new dashboard name and a dashboard title. Click OK when done.

The dashboard opens in edit mode.

To move a pane from one location to another, put the cursor on the border of the pane. Hold down the left mouse button and drag the pane to another location.

To delete a pane, click the X in the upper corner of the pane.

To set individual options for each pane, click the Options menu in the upper corner of the pane. Note that not all panes have an option list.

To replace a pane, first delete the pane. An empty pane is displayed. Click Other Dashboards to populate the search list. The Search for Items dialog opens. Use this search form to find panes to use in the dashboard.

Select metadata fields for searching or click Search to search the entire database.

The Dashboard Results Page opens, showing those items that can be used in the dashboard.

Select the box next to the items to include and click Next. The Select Dashboard list is populated with the items that were selected. Click an item from the list to include in the pane and click OK.

When done, choose Save Changes or Save As from the Actions menu to save the dashboard under a new name.

3.2.3 Creating or Editing a Personal Dashboard

Follow this procedure to create a personal dashboard:

Choose Records then Dashboards then Create New from the Top menu or choose New Dashboard from the Content Management menu.

The Create/Edit Dashboard Page opens.

Choose the number of columns to appear on the dashboard by selecting a number from the list.

In the first pane, click Other Dashboards to populate the list of dashboards for use.

The Search for Items dialog opens. Use this search form to find panes to use in the dashboard. Select metadata fields for searching or click Search to search the entire database.

The Dashboard Results Page opens, showing those items that can be used in the dashboard.

Select the box next to the items to include and click Next. The Select Dashboard list is populated with the selected items.

Select an item from the list for the pane and click Ok. Repeat this process for the other panes in the other columns. To delete a pane click the X in the corner of the pane window.

When done selecting panes for use, click Actions then Save Dashboard.

To use a Simple Profile to associate with the dashboard, select it from the list. Click Next when done.

A checkin page opens. Enter the necessary metadata to save the dashboard. Click Checkin when done.

3.3 My Favorites

Users can create a listing, similar to bookmarked browser Favorites and add series, categories, folders, reports, report templates, users, and aliases to this listing. Users with administrative privileges can add other objects such as freezes to the listing.

If an item can be added to a Favorites listing, the Add to Favorites menu option is displayed on a page. To add items to these lists, select the box next to an item and click Add to Favorites.

Favorites can be shared with other users. To make a Favorites list available for sharing, click the user name in the top right corner of the screen. The My Profile page opens. Click Yes in the Share RMA Favorites box. Click Update when done. The Favorites list will then be available to other users to select from.

To share an item in that list, select the checkbox for the item then choose Sharing and Share from the Table menu. To prevent sharing, choose Sharing then Unshare.

To add a favorite from another user, choose Records then Favorites from the Top menu. If a favorite list is available from another user, the Import From User table option is available in the list of favorites. Choose the Import From User option and select the name of a user from the list. All of that user's favorites for that particular Favorite type (for example, a Series or a Category) appear on the Favorites list.

Sharing favorite items is based on assigned rights. If a user does not have rights to share items then the Import From User option does not appear on that user's My Favorite list. For example, if you do not have the category.freeze, folder.freeze, or record.freeze right, you cannot access favorite freezes from other users.

To view items in the Favorites list, choose Records then Favorites from the Top menu. The My Favorites Page opens. Click on the indicated tabs to quickly find the favorites of a specific type (for example, Categories or Series).

Use the Up or Down arrow on the My Favorites Page to rearrange the favorites in the list. The reordering in the list is not saved until the Save Now button is clicked, which appears when reordering begins.

Favorites items are used to populate option lists, such as when creating freezes or when checking in content. For example, if an item is on a Favorites list, it appears on the list when a freeze name is selected or when a category is selected during content checkin. This helps to narrow down the choices on large option lists.

3.4 Icons

Several icons are used to indicate the type of content and other objects. This section describes some of the default icons used with the Records system. These icons can be customized, so the icons used in this documentation may differ from the ones at your site.

If the classification scheme hierarchy for MoReq2 (Model Requirements for the Management of Electronic Records) is enabled, additional icons are used that differ slightly than those shown here.

3.4.1 Retention Schedule Objects

The following objects are used in retention schedules.

A retention series is indicated in the Browse Content interface by a file cabinet with the drawers closed.

3.5 My Rights and My Roles

The Oracle WebCenter Content: Records software has several default roles, which allow users to access specific parts of the product functionality. Administrators can customize these roles by including specific rights, providing a fine level of access to tasks and screens.

The following list describes default predefined roles. Consult your administrator to see what additional roles may be in use at your site:

rma (denoted as Records User in this documentation): This role is usually assigned to basic users and allows them to perform basic management tasks.

rmalocalrecordsofficer (denoted by Records Officer in this documentation): This role is usually assigned to "privileged" users, who have all the permissions assigned to basic users (rma role) but are also granted rights to perform additional functions.

rmaadmin (denoted by Records Administrator in this documentation): This role is usually assigned to administrators who are responsible for setting up and maintaining the management infrastructure and environment. These users have the widest range of rights to perform management tasks.

pcmrequestor (denoted by PCM Requestor in this documentation): This role is usually assigned to users who have all the permissions assigned to basic users without a Physical Content Management role but are also granted additional rights to perform some functions not allowed for basic users.

pcmadmin (denoted by PCM Administrator in this documentation): This role is usually assigned to administrators who are responsible for setting up and maintaining the physical content management infrastructure and environment.

Each of these predefined roles comes with a default set of permissions and rights, but these can be modified. New roles with assigned management rights can also be created.

To view assigned roles and rights, click the user name in the top right portion of the screen. The My Profile page opens. The roles assigned to the logged-in user appear at the top of the My Profile information.

To see rights assigned, choose Records then Rights from the Top menu. The Assigned Rights Page opens. This page shows the rights assigned to the current user for the enabled components. To view details about each component, click the Show link for that component. To view details about all rights, click the Show All Rights link at the top of the screen. To hide rights again, click the Hide link in the component section or at the top of the screen.

3.6 Profiles

Profiles can be created to customize the checkin page and the search page. By using profiles, only those items needed for particular checkin tasks are shown, for example, and other fields that are not needed are "hidden."

Users and administrators can create profiles. Users can create profiles for personal use, while administrators can create global profiles that can be used by a variety of users with different roles.

Details about creating and using profiles are discussed in Chapter 13, "Using Simple Profiles."

3.7 Menus

After installation, the Search and Checkin menus are changed to include default profile pages. These profiles provide a filtered view of checkin and search pages, to customize what users will see. Additional options may appear depending on profiles created at your site and the choices made during installation.

Menu options can be used to help quickly narrow down searches and choose the type of checkin to perform. The Screening option on the Search menu is dependent on security rights assigned to the user.

When viewing search results, a query menu is added to the search results page. The options on this menu help narrow a search by selecting new fields from those already selected, or to save the search under a file name for use later. See the Oracle WebCenter Content User's Guide for Content Server for more details about searching and saving query results.

4 Browsing Retention Schedules and Storage

This chapter covers the following topics:

Section 4.1, "Retention Schedules"

Section 4.2, "Browsing the PCM Storage Space"

Section 4.3, "Generating a Retention Schedule Report"

4.1 Retention Schedules

A retention schedule is an organized hierarchy of series, categories, and folders that clusters retained items into similar groups, each with its own retention and disposition characteristics. There can be as many retention schedules as necessary for the requirements mandated by an organization. Retention schedules are set up to make it easy to accurately manage retained items.

When a retained item is filed into a retention schedule, the disposition of the retained item is determined by the category into which it is filed. Security access and status of the retained item (such as if the retained item is subject to review, or whether the record is permanent) is determined by the category or folder into which the record is filed.

If the retained item should not inherit the security and status of the category or folder, but be filed in a specific location, the security or status can be changed during or after filing.

This section covers the following topics:

Section 4.1.1, "Retention Schedule Hierarchy"

Section 4.1.2, "Browsing the Retention Schedule"

4.1.1 Retention Schedule Hierarchy

A typical hierarchy of a retention schedule consists of series, categories, and/or record folders.

Series are optional and can be used to organize retained content. A series cannot contain content items but can contain categories or other series, which can contain content.

A category define the disposition instructions of the retained items and any folders it contains.

Categories can be created within a series, but a category cannot be contained within another category because the disposition rules for each category may conflict.

Folders can be created within a category or another folder, but not a series.

Content can be filed into a category or folder.

Figure 4-1 Basic retention schedule

4.1.2 Browsing the Retention Schedule

Browsing content and navigating the hierarchy in the retention schedule can be done using various techniques. A user's permissions and security configuration determine what portions of the schedule the user can view. A user can navigate using these methods:

Accessing retention schedules using the Browse Content menu: When an object is clicked in the Browse Content area, the tree expands or collapses. By default, retained items can be accessed in the retention schedule object.

Accessing retention schedules using a search result: Click the link in the Name column on a search results page to navigate to child objects. Hover the mouse pointer over the name of a category or record folder to quickly view its description. Descriptions over 100 characters are truncated in the popup for easier viewing. The full description of a category or folder can be viewed on the relevant information page.

Accessing retention schedules using locator links: The locator link provides a convenient means of navigating a retention schedule. It shows the location in the schedule hierarchy, and provides links to click to quickly move between parent and child levels.

Use this procedure to view the contents of a retention object (a category or series):

Choose Browse Content then Retention Schedules from the Main menu.

The Exploring Retention Schedules Page opens.

Click the name of the object to view.

The appropriate object page opens. For example, if you elect to view the contents of a category, the Category or Series Content Page opens.

Use this procedure to view information about a series or retention categories:

Choose Browse Content then Retention Schedules from the Main menu.

The Exploring Retention Schedules Page opens.

Navigate to the item for which to see information.

In the row for the item, do either of the following:

Click the Info icon.

Click the item's Actions menu and choose Information, then select the type of information to view:

Series: Information about a series.

Category: Information about a category.

Metadata History: A list of changes to the metadata of the item.

Disposition Information: Disposition instructions, defining how items in the category are handled.

The appropriate information page opens (for example, the Series Information Page or the Category Information Page). The page shows relevant information about the selected item.

4.1.2.1 Browsing Using DIS

If Desktop Integration Suite is installed, a user can browse for content by clicking Browse in the Search panel of the Windows Explorer pane.

4.2 Browsing the PCM Storage Space

PCM uses a defined physical space environment to keep track of the storage and retention of physical items. When working with a physical item, the item is assigned to a storage location, so PCM knows where it is stored and can track it.

Storage space in PCM is set up hierarchically. Storage locations contain other, smaller storage locations that contain still smaller storage locations, and so on. The default PCM functionality comes with the following storage space hierarchy (from large to small):

Figure 4-2 Default Storage Space Hierarchy

This section describes browsing the defined storage environment in PCM. It covers the following topics:

Section 4.2.1, "Browsing the Storage Tree"

Section 4.2.2, "Using Exploring Pages"

Section 4.2.3, "Viewing Information About a Storage Location"

Section 4.2.4, "Reserving or Canceling a Storage Location"

4.2.1 Browsing the Storage Tree

The Browse Content menu contains an item called Storage. This option enables a user to browse the defined storage space environment in a tree view with all defined storage locations in their hierarchical order. Note the following considerations:

The icons indicate the location type of the storage locations.

All storage locations include a percentage that shows how much of the available storage space in the location (and all its children) is currently occupied. For example, 25% means one-quarter of the maximum allowed number of stored items is currently assigned to the storage location (and all its children). The percentage of a storage location is automatically updated. However, the percentages of the parent storage location(s) are not updated automatically. This is done automatically daily (see next note).

By default, the available storage space for the entire hierarchy is recalculated daily at midnight. Therefore, the storage availability information may not be entirely up to date as the day progresses because it still reflects the situation from the night before.

The Browse Storage tree will always include a storage location called Other at the bottom. This is the default storage location for any physical items not explicitly assigned to another storage location.

Click any linked item in the storage space tree to see its Location Page (for details, see Section 4.2.2, "Using Exploring Pages.")

4.2.2 Using Exploring Pages

The Exploring [Location] pages show the child storage location of a defined storage location. A list of all physical items stored in it can also be shown.

Click Browse Content then Storage.

The Exploring Page for the top level (called Storage) opens. Use the links on this page to drill down in the storage space hierarchy. In the default Trays layout, navigate to a storage location in the tree view and click its link in the tree.

At the top of the page are locator links showing the current location in the storage space hierarchy. This trail allows a user to easily navigate between the levels in the hierarchy. Click any linked item in the trail to go to that level and show its Exploring page.

4.2.3 Viewing Information About a Storage Location

To view information about a storage location, complete the following steps:

Choose Browse Content then Storage from the Main menu.

The Location Page for the top level of the storage hierarchy opens.

Navigate to the storage location and click the Info icon.

You can also choose Information then Storage from the Actions menu for a storage location in the list to view that location's properties.

The Storage Information Page opens.

Click OK when done.

The original Location Page opens again.

4.2.4 Reserving or Canceling a Storage Location

Use this procedure to reserve a location for future storage or to cancel a current reservation. Reservations are useful to group similar items to store together as they are checked in. If a storage location is reserved, all its child locations are also reserved.

To reserve a storage location, complete the following steps:

Choose Browse Content then Storage from the Main menu.

The Location Page for the top level of the storage hierarchy opens.

Navigate to the storage space level including the storage location to reserve.

Choose Edit then Reserve Storage on the Actions menu for the storage location.

The Select Requestor dialog opens. Accept the default or choose a new name from the list. Click OK when finished.

The original Location Page opens again, and the storage location now shows Reserved in its status column, with the name of the user who made the reservation in parentheses.

To cancel the reserved status of a storage location, complete the following steps:

Choose Browse Content then Browse Storage from the Main menu.

The Location Page for the top level of the storage hierarchy opens.

Navigate to the storage space level that includes the storage location whose reserved is to be canceled.

Choose Edit then Cancel Request from the Actions menu for the storage location.

The original Location Page opens again, and the storage location no longer shows Reserved in its status column.

4.3 Generating a Retention Schedule Report

Use this procedure to generate retention schedule reports for retained items. A report can be generated at any time for any portion of the retention schedule to which a user has permissions.

To generate a report, complete the following steps:

Choose Browse Content then Retention Schedules from the Main menu.

The Exploring Series Retention Schedules Page opens.

Select the box corresponding to the item to use for the report. Choose Reports then Retention Schedule on the Page menu.

A retention schedule report is generated. Open the report and view it or choose to save the report as a file.

Close the browser window when done.

Note:

The report is generated in either PDF or HTML form, depending on how the system is configured. If the generated file is in PDF format, it must be viewed using Adobe Acrobat version 6.0 or later.

5 Creating Content for Retention

Content can be created from the Main menu, from within retention schedules, or existing content can be marked within Oracle WebCenter Content as usable for retention.

For example, if you work with Oracle WebCenter Content to manage content outside of a retention schedule, you can file content into a retention schedule without moving outside of Oracle WebCenter Content. You do this by accessing the content checkin form from the Main menu.

If you work mostly within retention schedules and are within a schedule hierarchy, you can create the content item at your current position in the hierarchy by choosing Check in New Content Item from the Actions menu for the retention object.

For information about checking in physical content, see Chapter 8, "Managing Physical Content."

This chapter describes these topics:

Section 5.1, "Checking In From the Main Menu"

Section 5.2, "Checking In From Within Retention Schedules"

Section 5.3, "Checking In an External Item"

Section 5.4, "Checking In a Classified Item"

Section 5.5, "Folios and Cloned Content"

Section 5.6, "Checking In E-Mail for Retention"

Important:

The fields on the checkin pages are dependent on the profiles used for the checkin as well as options and the rights and roles assigned to a user.

For example, unless a user is assigned a supplemental marking, no markings appear on the list of supplemental markings that can be used at checkin.

5.1 Checking In From the Main Menu

This section describes how to check in content from the Main menu.

If profiles have been created by the administrator, those profiles appear on the New Check In menu. A profile "hides" fields so only those fields essential for checkin are shown. This makes the process faster and less prone to error.

Important:

The fields on the checkin pages are dependent on the profiles used for the checkin and the configuration of the system. See the Records Administrator for details about what triggers are used for profiles and what fields are to be expected on the checkin pages.

Use this procedure to check in new content. Content can be checked into a category or a record folder.

Tip:

Use this method of filing content items when filing items to disparate locations and to navigate to a different location within the retention schedule with each checkin.

Choose New Check In from the Top menu. If profiles are available, several different options may be available. Select the profile or type of checkin to do.

The applicable page opens.

Enter or choose information pertinent to the item. The following list describes some of the common fields on this screen:

Type: File type chosen from a list.

Title: Descriptive name for the item. Maximum: 80 characters.

Filer: User checking in the item. Administrators can choose a user name from a list.

Security Group: Security group associated with the item. Default: RecordsGroup.

Primary File: Path and file name of the item. Maximum: 80 characters for file name, 8 characters for extension. Click Browse to select the item.

User, Group, Role Access List: if Access Control Lists are enabled, this is used to set permissions for specific users or groups.

Alternate File: Path and file name of a web-viewable file or one that can be converted to be web-viewable. The file extension cannot be same as that used in the Primary file. Maximum: 80 characters for the file name, 8 characters for the extension. Click Browse to find and select the item.

Content ID: Identifier for the item. Maximum: 30 characters. No special characters can be used. If this field is filled in, the system is automatically configured to assign IDs.

Revision: Generated automatically with each iteration of the item. Do not change this value.

Comments: Additional notes. Maximum: 255 characters.

Date, Format and Audit Information: Date a record is activated or expired in the system, as well as information about the auditing of the item.

Security information: Classification information, supplemental marking information, and classification topic information.

Subject to Review information: Fields indicating if an item is subject to review, and the reviewers and review period.

Correspondence Information: Information pertaining to e-mail.

If an auxiliary metadata set has been created, click that option in the top right corner of the screen. Additional metadata fields appear containing information for the item.

To associate the item with a category or folder, click Browse next to the Category or Folders field at the bottom of the page.

The Select Category or Folder Dialog opens.

Choose the category or folder in which to file the item. If categories or folders were added to a My Favorites list, they appear on the list and are easily selected.

The file path is displayed in the text field on the page.

Assign a supplemental marking to the item. A user must be assigned a supplemental marking in order for markings to appear on the list of supplemental markings that can be used at checkin.

(Optional) To create a classified record, see Section 5.4, "Checking In a Classified Item."

Click Life Cycle Preview to view the disposition actions associated with the category selected earlier.

After entering all the appropriate metadata values, click Check In.

A confirmation page is displayed.

For more detailed information about checking in content, see the Oracle WebCenter Content User's Guide for Content Server.

5.1.1 Checking in Items Using DIS

If Desktop Integration Suite is installed, new files can be checked in from Microsoft Office by using the Copy and Paste options in the right-click menu. If an item is currently checked out, a user can check it in using the Offline Content Manager or by choosing the Check In option on the right-click menu.

To check in an existing file from Microsoft Office, click File then Save and select the server option in the Save dialog. The content checkin form opens for the last instance used.

If the DoD component is enabled, files may not be able to be checked by copying and pasting or dragging and dropping them into contribution folders. When using DoD features, the Category or Folder field is required. This means an item cannot be checked in if that field is empty. The actions of copying and pasting or dragging and dropping into a contribution folder often doesn't require further user intervention, so often the checkin cannot complete successfully.

Oracle WebCenter Content: Records can be configured by an administrator to enable these types of checkins. See the Oracle WebCenter Content Setup Guide for Records

See the Oracle WebCenter User's Guide for Desktop for more details.

5.2 Checking In From Within Retention Schedules

Use this procedure to create a content item from within a retention schedule by placing it directly into a category (or records folder if it is a record). The proper security privileges are required to access the category or records folder.

Tip:

To save time when filing multiple content items into the same category or folder, check in the content from within the retention schedule this way. It eliminates the need to select the Category or Records Folder ID fields to navigate to the location each time because the checkin form is presented in context to its location as shown in the Retention Schedule locator links. To further expedite the filing process, use the Check In Similar feature.

Click Browse Content then Retention Schedules.

The Exploring Series Retention Schedules page opens.

Choose a Retention Category for use. From the item's Actions menu, choose Create then the type of content: Record, Folder, New Content Item, or New Physical Item.

The appropriate checkin page opens.

(Optional) To create a classified item, see Section 5.4, "Checking In a Classified Item."

Click Life Cycle Preview to view the disposition actions associated with the category selected earlier.

After entering all the appropriate metadata values, click Create.

A confirmation page opens.

If similar content is available to check in, click Check In Similar to pre-populate the form and expedite the process.

5.3 Checking In an External Item

External content is anything defined by an organization as existing outside the repository. It can be a physical item of some sort, such as a paper or microform record or it could be an electronic record stored on another server or by some other system.

Filing external content associates metadata with an item that can be searched, and establishes and tracks a disposition schedule through the category into which the item is filed. A user can also check in or link to an electronic rendition of an external item, so the external item may be edited or updated more easily in the future.

Physical Content Management can be used to track and manage metadata about external physical content.

To check in an external item, complete the following steps:

Choose New Checkin from the Top menu then choose Physical (if checking in a physical item) or Electronic/Physical (if checking in a different type of external item). An item can also be checked in from a retention schedule by searching for a schedule then choosing Create then Check in New Physical Item from the Page menu on the Search Results Page. For an overview of the checkin process, see Section 5.1, "Checking In From the Main Menu" or Section 5.2, "Checking In From Within Retention Schedules."

Fields pertinent to the type of external items (location, object type, media type if it is a physical item, for example) are enabled. Specify the necessary information. When specifying the location of a physical item, select a physical location (such as room or warehouse) or specify a user as the current location (indicating the item has been checked out to that user). To do so, select Set Current Location to a User then select a user from the list.

To associate the item with a retention schedule, click Browse next to the Category or Folders field at the bottom of the page. If checking in from a retention schedule, this information is already included.

The Select Category or Folder Dialog opens.

Choose the category or folders in which to file the item. The file pathname is shown under the Category or Folders field.

Fill in all required metadata fields, including the Primary File field. If there is no primary electronic file, type any value into the field, such as None or External File Only.

After entering the appropriate metadata values, click Create.

A confirmation page is displayed.

Tip:

If you have an electronic version of an external file, you can specify it as the primary file during the checkin process. This would provide an electronic rendition of the item for indexing of the text in the external file, making it available for searching, and would also make the electronic rendition available for editing of the item at a later date.

5.4 Checking In a Classified Item

Classified items require protection against unauthorized disclosure (for example, because they contain information regarding security or insider information). Unclassified content is not and has never been classified. Declassified items were formerly classified, but the classified status has been lifted.

Classification is an optional security feature certified to comply with the Chapter 4 requirements of the DoD 5015.2 specification. A site administrator can choose whether to enable this functionality and make it available.

Important:

Executive Order 12958: Classified National Security Information describes in detail the system for classifying, safeguarding, and declassifying national security information. If you are using this product to comply with that order, you should be familiar with proper classification protocols.

To check in content from the Main menu, complete the following steps:

Access the content checkin form. For details, see Section 5.1, "Checking In From the Main Menu" or Section 5.2, "Checking In From Within Retention Schedules."

Enter optional information pertinent to the item.

To associate the item with a retention schedule, click Browse next to the Category or Folders field at the bottom of the page.

The Select Category or Folder Dialog opens.

Choose the category or folders in which to file the item. The file pathname is displayed under the field.

Specify information pertinent to classifications:

The agency classifying the content (optional).

The person classifying the content. This is mandatory unless the data is derived from a specific topic, in which case it is optional.

What the classification is derived from. This is mandatory unless there is a specific "classified by" person identified.

The topic derived from unless there is a specific person classifying the item.

The classification at the time of record creation. For example, Top Secret, Secret, Confidential, and so forth.

The type of classification. For example, military plans, foreign government information, cryptology, and so forth.

A declassification exemption category. For example, reveal intelligence source, reveal military plans, and so forth.

The event triggering the declassification of the item.

A date triggering the declassification of the item.

Enable automatic declassification. If this functionality is enabled the Is Auto Declassification Date option appears. Select this option to allow automatic declassification of the item.

How the item can be downgraded. Choose date, event, or date and event.

An event triggering the downgrading of the item classification. This is mandatory if it was specified how the item can be downgraded.

After entering all the appropriate metadata values, click Check In.

A confirmation page is displayed.

5.5 Folios and Cloned Content

Automatic cloning occurs when working with folios that are filed into restricted categories. A default rule in the Records system is followed that states all folios must be editable, revisionable, and deletable. If a folio is filed into a category that restricts any of these actions, it is cloned when a new revision is checked in.

If a folio is frozen, a clone is created because freezing restricts deletions and edits. If folio content is filed into a category that restricts edits, deletions, or revisions, it is cloned.

You can also manually create a copy of a specific revision of a content item by cloning the item. Unlike a simple copy of a content item, a fixed cloned copy is linked to the original version. A newly cloned copy can also replace (supersede) any previous cloned versions. The functionality to manually create a fixed clone is only available if the RmaEnableFixedClones configuration variable has been set to TRUE.

When creating a fixed clone, specify which category or folder will hold the item. The clone name is created with the title of the current revision with a suffix appended. Administrators can change the value of the suffix by changing a configuration variable. See the Oracle WebCenter Content Setup Guide for Records for details.

Cloning rules can be customized to override record restrictions. This process is not discussed in this documentation. See Consulting Services for more details.

The fixed clone appears in the original content item's Revision History Section with the Fixed Clone Icon designating its status. It also appears in a separate section in the Exploring Page for the category or folder where the item was stored. If the clone has been frozen, the Frozen Fixed Clone Icon is displayed. Click either icon to view the Content Information Page for that clone.

A new metadata field, Working Copy, is added to the Information Page of the fixed clone. The name of the original content item or folio appears next to this field with a link to that item.

If a user has permissions to freeze an item (assigned to the Records Administrator role by default) the user can freeze fixed clones and freeze the revision associated with the fixed clone. Freezing is done by searching for the folio then selecting a Freeze option from the Table menu on the Search Results Page. See the Oracle WebCenter Content Setup Guide for Records for details.

5.5.1 Creating a Fixed Clone

Follow this procedure to create a fixed clone. Note that this menu option is only available when a content item matches the criteria for cloning:

Use searching or screening to find the content item to clone.

Click the Info icon for the item.

The Content Information Page opens.

Select the revision to clone by clicking the revision number in the Revision History Section on the Content Information Page.

Choose Content Actions then Create Fixed Clone from the Page menu to create a fixed clone of the revision. Choose to supersede previous clones with this version by selecting the appropriate box. A prompt appears for the clone name and the location for storage (folder or category). Enter the name of the category or click Browse to choose an item from the Select Category or Folder Dialog.

Click OK when done. The Content Information Page opens with the fixed clone icon in the Revision History Section indicating the action taken.

5.5.2 Adding a Folio to a Restricted Revision Category

Follow this procedure to create a folio that is cloned for use in a restricted revision category:

Choose Content Management then New Folio from the Main menu.

Choose the type of folio to create and choose Load Folio.

Click the plus icon to add a folio. Click Next. Select items from the search results for inclusion and click Next.

The proposed folio opens. Choose Actions then Save Folio from the Page menu.

A dialog opens. Click Next. Choose a title for the folio and a security group for the folio.

In the Category or Folders field, choose a category that restricts revisions.

Click OK and check in the folio.

Browse to the category with restricted revisions.

Note that the folio and a folio clone are listed.

5.6 Checking In E-Mail for Retention

You can check in e-mail messages as content with the Oracle Outlook Integration functionality in Desktop Integration Suite. For complete details about checking in e-mail, see Oracle WebCenter User's Guide for Desktop.

Important:

Checking in batch e-mail removes the mail from an inbox. Checking in an individual e-mail leaves the mail in an inbox.

This section describes these topics:

Section 5.6.1, "Using DIS to Check In an Individual E-Mail"

Section 5.6.2, "Checking In Correspondence From a Non-Outlook E-Mail Client"

5.6.1 Using DIS to Check In an Individual E-Mail

Use this procedure to check in an individual e-mail as an individual retained item.

Important:

Checking in an individual e-mail leaves the mail in an Inbox. The e-mail must be manually deleted to remove it from a mailbox.

To check in an e-mail message, complete the following steps:

Open Microsoft Outlook or Lotus Notes e-mail client.

Select the messages to check in.

Click the Check in Mail Item button on the Outlook toolbar or select the Actions and Check In Mail Item options on the Notes toolbar.

In the Server list, select the server into which to store e-mail content.

Click Yes. The Content Check In Form opens.

If the Correspondence area of the page is hidden, click Show to display the correspondence fields. Select Is Correspondence. The e-mail fields are shown, some of which are pre-populated:

Addressee(s)

Other Addressees)

Email Subject

Email To Lists

Click Check In.

5.6.2 Checking In Correspondence From a Non-Outlook E-Mail Client

Use this procedure to check in correspondence as a retained item when not using Outlook Integration.

To check in e-mail from a client other than the Outlook Integration:

Open the e-mail client and save the e-mail messages in a text format or HTML.

Click New Check In.

The Content Check In Form opens.

Check in the content, making sure to select Is Correspondence.

Be sure to complete the Correspondence fields, as they are not pre-populated.

6 Searching and Screening Content

There are a variety of ways to search for content. The Search option on the Main menu can be used to search or to screen for information. If a user has administrative privileges, the user can set up screenings to be scheduled and recurring.

If certain searches are performed on a regular basis, the search can be saved as a query for use later. Anyone, regardless of their administrative role, can create and save queries.

When using Oracle Text Search the system does not index external items, including physical items. Therefore those items and other items stored externally (for example, on an adapter system) are not available for searching.

See the Oracle WebCenter Content User's Guide for Content Server for information about using the Search menu, the Quick Search field, library query folders, case-sensitivity, using wild cards, and using search operators.

For details about using Federated Search for legal discovery purposes, see the Oracle WebCenter Content Administrator's Guide for Records.

In addition to search-like functionality, screening can isolate retention categories, record folders, and content by their attributes. Screening enables a user to see what has happened or what could happen within a retention schedule.

If more results are returned than are configured in the User Profile page, the page navigation menu will change, indicating other pages of information available for viewing. The list of page numbers is updated as the user navigates through the pages. If there are fewer search results than are configured in the User Profile, no page navigation is displayed.

This chapter covers the following topics:

Section 6.1, "Searching From Oracle WebCenter Content's Main Menu"

Section 6.2, "Screening for Content"

6.1 Searching From Oracle WebCenter Content's Main Menu

Important:

Depending on a user's role, rights associated with that role, and profile, different menu options may appear on a search or screening page. In general, system administrative users will see menus similar to those used to configure the system while end users will see menus containing typical functionality for users.

After installation, the Search and Check In menus are changed to include default profile pages. These menu options help quickly narrow searches and choose the type of search to perform.

Although the Search menu and Quick Search at the top of the page offer convenient search options, the main search page provides the most comprehensive way to search for content.

The following topics are discussed in this section:

Section 6.1.1, "Searching for Content"

Section 6.1.2, "Search Result Options"

Section 6.1.3, "Searching for Physical Content"

Section 6.1.4, "Searching Using Desktop Integration Suite"

Section 6.1.5, "Global Searches"

6.1.1 Searching for Content

To search for content, follow these steps:

Choose Search then the repository for searching from the Top menu.

The Standard Search Page opens.

Enter the criteria to use for the search. When searching folders, it is best to use Substring as an operand instead of Matches. Using the Matches operand narrows the search results considerably. Using Substring returns all internal content items as expected.

To create a query for later use, select the search criteria and click Save. A prompt appears for a query name. Enter a name and click OK. The query is saved in the user's My Saved Query list in the My Content Server menu.

To run the search immediately, specify the search criteria and click Search when done.

The Search Results Page opens, which lists all items meeting the search criteria.

6.1.1.1 Using the Search Forms Option

An expanded version of the search form can also be used or a custom search query can be constructed. To access these options, choose Search Forms from the Page menu of the Standard Search Page.

Expanded form: By default, several sections of each search form are displayed using the collapsed format (for example, Correspondence Fields). When the expanded version of a search form is selected, all of the sections on the form are displayed.

Query builder: The Query Builder form is available from the Search Forms menu at the top of the page on any of the search pages. It enables a user to easily build and save complex queries by selecting options from a series of lists and operator fields. After a query is built using the Query Builder from, the user can edit the query directly, perform the search, or save the query for easy access from the saved queries list or through a targeted quick search.

The Query Builder form displays the Include Child Records Folders box. If selected, the search function returns any matching results within child record folders. For comprehensive information about the Query Builder form, see the Oracle WebCenter Content User's Guide for Content Server.

6.1.1.2 Using Auxiliary Metadata Sets

If an auxiliary metadata set has been created, the Auxiliary Metadata Set option appears next to the Search Forms option on the Page menu.

To search using metadata from that auxiliary set, click Auxiliary Metadata Set then click the name of the set before performing a search. Click OK. The search page is populated with the additional metadata fields, which can then be used for searching.

6.1.2 Search Result Options

When viewing search results, the search can be saved under a file name for later use. See the Oracle WebCenter Content User's Guide for Content Server for more details about searching and saving query results.

The following options appear on the Table menu above the search result listing. To perform actions for multiple items, select the checkbox for the items then choose an option from one of the following menus:

Actions: Used to move the item to a content basket or folio.

Edit: Used to perform freezes or to unfreeze an item.

Set Dates: Used to mark items as reviewed, expired, and so on.

Create Reports: Used to create reports for items or for search results.

Delete: Used to remove items.

Metadata History: Used to view the metadata history of an item.

Change view: Used to change how the search results are displayed.

Query Actions: Used to save the search for later use.

6.1.3 Searching for Physical Content

Physical content metadata (including storage information and retention schedules, if any) are stored in the repository. Information about physical items managed by PCM can be found using the basic search page or the advanced search page.

To search for physical items, complete the following steps:

Choose Search then Physical from the Main menu.

The Search Physical Items Pageopens.

To use the advanced search page, choose Search and then Advanced Search on the Page menu.

To create a query for later use, select the search criteria and click Save. A prompt appears for a query name. Enter a name and click OK. The query is saved in the user's My Saved Query list in the My Content Server menu.

To run the search immediately, specify the search criteria and click Search when done.

The Physical Search Results Pageopens, which lists all items meeting the search criteria.

6.1.4 Searching Using Desktop Integration Suite

If DIS is installed, the standard search page can be accessed by clicking the Search icon in the Windows Explorer panel.

Different servers can be searched by choosing a server from the search list at the top of the search pane.

6.1.5 Global Searches

If you have administrative privileges and the NoSecurity right is enabled, an additional Global menu option appears on the Search menu. This option can be used to search external repositories used with adapters as well as to search for any changes made to classified metadata.

See the Oracle WebCenter Content Administrator's Guide for Records for information about searching other repositories. To search for changes to classified metadata, click the option and select a classified field to use in the search.

6.2 Screening for Content

Important:

Depending on a user's role, the rights associated with that role, and the user profile, different menu options may appear on search or screening pages. In general, administrative users will see menus similar to those used to configure the system while end users will see menus containing typical functionality for users.

After installation, an additional Screening menu is available on the Search menu. In addition to search-like functionality, screening enables a user to isolate retention categories, folders, and content by their attributes. Screening enables the user to see what has happened or what could happen within a retention schedule.

Screening reports can be created immediately or they can be scheduled to be generated at a later time. This is especially useful for screening reports affecting large sets of content. Creating the screening report immediately might put a heavy load on the system, which could diminish its responsiveness and/or result in browser time-outs. To avoid the load on the system, schedule screening reports to be performed at midnight, an off-peak time in most environments.

Note:

Scheduling reports is usually limited to those users with administrative privileges.

The screening interface may use user-friendly captions or may use standard retention terminology. The interface depictions in this documentation show user-friendly captions.

The following screening topics are discussed in this section:

Section 6.2.1, "Performing Screenings"

Section 6.2.2, "Scheduling a Screening Report"

Section 6.2.3, "Setting Default Metadata For Reports"

6.2.1 Performing Screenings

This section describes a general procedure to perform screenings. A search can be done by retention categories, record folders, and content by disposition, disposition event criteria, record folder and/or retention category criteria. Click Search without entering any criteria, and all items are returned in the results. Different repositories can also be searched (physical and electronic).

Permissions:

The Admin.Screening right is required to perform screening actions. This right is assigned by default to the Records Administrator role.

To screen data, complete the following steps:

Choose Search then Screening from the Top menu. Select the screening type (Categories, Folders, or Content).

The Screen for topic Page opens.

When screening content and records, you can select the sources to use for the screening. If additional repositories are available (for example, physical content or an adapter repository), you can select the source from the list. If an additional repository is chosen, you should verify that the screening criteria used is also available in that repository. If a field is used for screening and it is not used in the external repository, an error is displayed.

Depending on the type of screening chosen, different screening options are available. Select the criteria for the search from the provided menus.

When screening content and records, the Update Sort Fields button is displayed. Click this button to open a dialog where the user can select multiple fields to use for sorting. For each field selected and moved to the Search Fields pane, a checkbox appears below the fields section. Select the box to further refine if the sorting for that field should be in ascending order. If not checked, sort order is descending.

(Optional) if screening for a review or due date, specify the date in the Review Due By box or Due for Action box.

Select a Freeze Status to filter by items that are frozen or not frozen.

Select sorting preferences in the Results Options area.

Sort by the default or select another option from the Sort By list.

Sort in the default descending order or select the ascending order.

Click Search. Any results matching the screening criteria appear in the Screening Results.

6.2.2 Scheduling a Screening Report

Permissions:

You must have Records Administrator or PCM Administrator rights to schedule screening reports.

You may be able to only schedule screening reports and not execute them immediately, depending on the setting of the Only allow scheduled screening option on the Configure Retention Administration page. See the Oracle WebCenter Content Setup Guide for Records for details about configuring the system.

Use this procedure to schedule a screening report:

Choose Search then Screening then the screening type from the Top menu.

The Screen for topic Page opens.

Select the criteria for the screening and click Schedule.

The Schedule Screening Report Page opens.

Provide a name for the screening report.

Provide the start date of the screening report. This is the date the scheduled screening report will be generated. If the screening report is recurring, the first screening report will be generated for the first time on this date, and all subsequent reports at the end of each recurring period after this date.

To create the report periodically rather than just once, select Is Recurring. Specify the interval at which the recurring screening report will be created (for example, every 2 weeks).

Click OK when done.

The Scheduled Screening Reports Page opens, which now includes the newly created scheduled screening report.

6.2.3 Setting Default Metadata For Reports

Permissions:

You must have Records Administrator or PCM Administrator rights to schedule screening reports.

Recurring screening reports are automatically checked into the repository. Use this procedure to set the default metadata for these checked-in reports:

Choose Records then Configure from the Top menu. Choose Metadata then Screening Metadata Defaults.

The Default Metadata for Checked-In Screening Reports Page opens.

Specify the default metadata for checked-in screening reports.

Click Submit Update when done.

7 Working With Records Folders

This section covers several tasks associated with the general maintenance and processing of record folders. Not all tasks are available to all users. Rights and roles determine which functionality is available to different users.

This chapter covers the following topics:

Section 7.1, "Using Folders"

Section 7.2, "Managing Folders"

Section 7.3, "Classification Settings for Folders"

For information about creating, editing, and deleting record folders in the retention schedule, see the Oracle WebCenter Content Setup Guide for Records.

7.1 Using Folders

Maintaining and processing folders involves tasks such as moving folders, handling events such as canceling, expiring, or rescinding folders, or marking folders as obsolete for any other condition. After a record folder is marked as obsolete, any enabled event triggers associated with the content begins the disposition processing based on such events. In addition, tasks associated with record folders include applying specific disposition rules or supplemental markings to folders, or temporarily extending retention periods when disposition processing is frozen.

The following options appear on the item's Actions menu and on the Information Page menu for a folder:

Information

Folder Information: Content information for the retained item.

Life Cycle: The complete life cycle of the retained item according to its scheduled disposition, including the calculated dates of each disposition action. For more information, see Section 7.2.1.1, "Viewing Folder Life Cycle."

Recent Reviews: A list of everyone who has reviewed the retained item (and marked it as reviewed), with the date and time of review. For more information, see Section 7.2.1.2, "Viewing a Folder Review History."

Metadata History (only available for content in a retention schedule): An overview of all changes made to the editable properties of the item, with the affected metadata field name, the modification date and time, and the old and new values. For more information, see Section 7.2.1.3, "Viewing Folder Metadata History."

7.2 Managing Folders

The following tasks are involved in managing folders:

Section 7.2.1, "Viewing Information"

Section 7.2.2, "Moving, Closing, or Freezing a Folder"

Section 7.2.3, "Canceling, Expiring, and Rescinding Folders"

Section 7.2.4, "Setting Dates with External Folders"

7.2.1 Viewing Information

Permissions:

The Folder.Read right is required to perform these actions. All predefined management roles have this right.

Viewing folder information can be done in different ways depending on the location in the product hierarchy. First locate the item by browsing, searching, or screening. Then perform one of the following actions:

On the search or screening results page, choose Information then the option (Life Cycle, Recent Reviews, and so on) from the folder's Actions menu.

On the search or screening results page, click the Info icon of the folder.

The Record Folder Information Page opens. On the Top menu, choose Information then the option needed (Life Cycle, Metadata History, and so on).

The information displayed depends on the configuration and if optional fields were populated.

7.2.1.1 Viewing Folder Life Cycle

Use the previously described procedure to access the Information menu to view the life cycle (disposition schedule) of a record folder. The disposition instructions must be defined for the retention category of the folder. After a folder has been cut off, the record folder begins disposition processing and cannot be edited.

When Life Cycle is selected, the Life Cycle of Record Folder Page opens.

The page shows the complete life cycle of the record folder according to its scheduled disposition, including the calculated dates of each disposition action if the trigger event has occurred.

7.2.1.2 Viewing a Folder Review History

Use the previously described procedure to access the Information menu to view the review history of a record folder.

When Recent Reviews is selected, the Folder Review History Page of the record folder opens.

The page shows a list of everyone who has reviewed the record folder and marked it as reviewed and the date and time of review.

7.2.1.3 Viewing Folder Metadata History

Use the previously described procedure to access the Information menu to view the metadata history of a record folder. This is a list of all changes to the metadata of the record folder. When Metadata History is selected, the Metadata History of the record folder opens.

The page shows an overview of all changes made to the editable properties of the record folder and the affected metadata field name, the modification date and time, and the old and new values.

7.2.1.4 Viewing Folder Freeze Details

Use the previously described procedure to access the Information menu to view detailed freeze information about a record folder (that is, a list of all freezes currently applied to the folder). When Freeze Details is selected, the Freeze Details Page opens.

If the record folder is frozen, the Freeze Disposition field value is Yes on the Folder Information Page and a Details hyperlink is displayed next to the field value. Click that hyperlink to view Freeze information.

The Freeze Details Page shows all freezes currently applied to the record folder. If the folder inherited its freeze status from a parent folder, that folder's name is shown in the Inherited From column for the inherited freeze. Click the Info icon for an item in the list. The Record Folder Information Page for the folder opens.

To save the information on this page to a file in the report, choose the Save Freeze Details option from the Page menu.

If the generated report file is in PDF format, it must be viewed using Adobe Acrobat version 6.0 or later.

7.2.2 Moving, Closing, or Freezing a Folder

Permissions:

The appropriate Folder rights (Folder.Move, Folder.Open/Close, Folder.Freeze/Unfreeze) are required to perform these actions. These rights are assigned by default to the Records Officer and Records Administrator roles.

Managing folder information can be done in different ways depending on the location in the product hierarchy. First locate the item by browsing, searching, or screening. Then perform one of the following actions:

On the search or screening results page, choose Edit then the option (Close, Move, and so on) from the folder's Actions menu.

On the search or screening results page, click the Info icon of the folder.

The Record Folder Information Page opens. On the Top menu, choose Edit then the option needed.

The information displayed depends on the configuration and if optional fields were populated.

7.2.2.1 Moving a Record Folder

You can move a record folder to another retention category or folder.

Use the previously described procedure to access the Edit menu for the folder to move. When Move is selected, the Select Category or Folder Dialog opens. Click to expand the tree, and click the category or record folder where the folder will be moved. The location field populates with the new location. Click OK when done.

If a record folder inherits its security settings and disposition rules from its parent category, make sure the new location has the same settings. If a record folder has its own security settings, moving the folder is not a security concern. Because record folders also inherit disposition instructions from the parent category, be sure any new category location has the disposition instructions appropriate for the record folder. If a record folder has its own disposition rule or rules, then moving the folder is a concern for disposition processing. If a record folder has its own disposition instructions, the folder cannot be moved until the association is removed. Then re-create the rules unique to the folder in its new location if necessary.

7.2.2.2 Closing or Unclosing (Reopening) a Record Folder

After a record folder is closed, no further content can be checked (filed) into the closed record folder or its subfolders (child record folders) unless the user has the Folder.Open/Close right or is the author of the closed folder. If a user without these rights attempts to file content into a closed folder, a message is displayed stating the folder is closed. The content is not filed.

Important:

Closing a folder does not prevent disposition processing; only freezing a folder pauses disposition processing.

Closing a record folder refers to locking a record folder, and does not correlate with collapsing and expanding record folders within the Browse Content area. A closed or locked record folder is indicated with a padlock image superimposed on the record folder icon.

Depending on settings in a user's profile, the icons may appear slightly different, such as a book background icon rather a folder.

Use the previously described procedure to access the Edit menu for the folder to close. When Close is selected, a prompt appears to enter a reason for the action. Enter a reason, and click OK to confirm or leave the text box empty and click OK. Click Cancel to abort the entire action.

If confirmed, the folder icon includes a padlock to indicate it is closed.

To unclose or unlock a folder, choose Edit then Unclose from a menu. Follow the same procedure as the one described to close a folder.

7.2.2.3 Freezing or Unfreezing a Record Folder

Freezing a record folder inhibits disposition processing for that folder. Frozen folders can still be browsed within the Browse Content area, content can be checked into frozen folders, and other edits as allowed by assigned rights can be done. Record folders residing in a frozen folder inherit the freeze status from their parent folder, but they can also be frozen independently of the folder (usually with a different freeze).

When freezing a record folder, choose from several predefined freezes and enter a reason for freezing the folder. The reason is shown in the Comments section of the audit trail, and in the Record Folder Information and Edit Record Folder pages. A frozen record folder is indicated by a pause symbol in the folder Name field of the Exploring Retention Category page.

More than one freeze can be applied to a record folder. View the Freeze Details Page for the record folder to see a list of all freezes currently applied to the folder (both direct and inherited). See the Oracle WebCenter Content Setup Guide for Records for details about creating and viewing freezes.

Use the previously described procedure to access the Edit menu for the folder to freeze. Choose Edit then Freeze from the Actions menu. The Freeze/Unfreeze Dialog opens. Click the link to show all freezes and select the freeze to be applied. Provide a reason for the freeze or leave the text box empty.

Click OK to confirm the freeze. Click Cancel to abort the entire action. If confirmed, the freeze icon (two parallel vertical bars) appears next to the record folder name in the Name column of the Exploring page.

Note:

After a record folder is frozen, you cannot edit its freeze reason. If the freeze is no longer correct, you should unfreeze the folder and freeze it with a new reason.

Unfreezing a record folder releases a frozen folder again for disposition processing. Only one record folder at a time can be unfrozen. Follow the same procedure to unfreeze a folder, choosing Edit then Unfreeze from a menu. If the action is confirmed, the freeze icon no longer appears next to the record folder name in the Name column of the Exploring page.

7.2.3 Canceling, Expiring, and Rescinding Folders

Permissions:

The Folder.Edit right is required to perform these actions. This right is assigned by default to the Records Officer and Records Administrator roles.

You can also expire a record folder if you are a records administrator processing pending events that receive notification.

Select Set Dates then Expire. A prompt appears to enter a reason for the action. Enter a reason or leave the text box empty. Click OK to confirm. Click Cancel to abort the entire action.

The Record Folder Information Page shows the date the record folder was expired.

7.2.3.3 Rescinding a Folder

Use the previously described procedure to access the Set Dates menu to rescind a record folder directly, either after receiving a notification to do so (as part of a disposition instruction) or ad hoc. When a record folder is rescinded, its status becomes obsolete.

Choose Set Dates then Rescind from a menu. A prompt appears to enter a reason for the action. Enter a reason or leave the text box empty. Click OK to confirm. Click Cancel to abort the entire action.

The Record Folder Information Page shows the date the record folder was rescinded.

7.2.3.4 Making a Folder Obsolete

There are certain actions that automatically cause a record folder to become obsolete:

Expire

Cancel

Rescind

You can also mark a folder as obsolete without using one of these actions. Use the previously described procedure to access the Set Dates menu to mark a record folder obsolete. When Set Dates then Obsolete is chosen, a prompt appears to enter a reason for the action. Enter a reason or leave the text box empty. Click OK to confirm. Click Cancel to abort the entire action.

The Record Folder Information Page shows the date the record folder was made obsolete.

7.2.3.5 Reversing a Folder's Obsolete Status

8 Managing Physical Content

This section discusses the creation and management of physical items using Physical Content Management.

It covers the following tasks:

Section 8.1, "Managing Physical Items"

Section 8.2, "Adding Physical Items To A Content Basket"

Section 8.3, "Viewing Reservations for a Physical Item"

Section 8.4, "Marking a Physical Item as Reviewed"

Physical content metadata (including storage information and retention schedules, if any) can be stored in the repository. When checking in a physical content item, provide its basic metadata information and where the item is stored by selecting a location in the defined storage space. If a user has the appropriate privileges, the user can also assign a retention schedule to the item, which determines the item's life cycle.

A physical barcode on the item can be associated with an electronic bar code stored in Physical Content Management. This allows a user to track and manage physical items in an electronic fashion.

8.1 Managing Physical Items

This section discusses the following tasks in the management of physical items:

Section 8.1.1, "Creating a Physical Item"

Section 8.1.2, "Editing a Physical Item"

Section 8.1.3, "Moving a Physical Item"

Section 8.1.4, "Viewing Physical Item Information"

8.1.1 Creating a Physical Item

When creating a new physical item, check in its metadata, storage information, and retention schedule in the repository. This information is subsequently used to track the physical item and manage its life cycle.

You can also create a new physical item by choosing New Checkin then Electronic/Physical Checkin from the Main menu. Use that option to check in an item that is stored on another repository (such as an adapter system). The procedure is the same as that described here. Only the menu option is different.

A physical item can be created by simply checking in the item as a physical item. Other methods can also be used to create a physical item:

Section 8.1.1.1, "Using the Storage Page"

Section 8.1.1.2, "Within a Retention Schedule"

Section 8.1.1.3, "Creating a Physical Item Within Another Item"

8.1.1.1 Using the Storage Page

Permissions:

The PCM.Physical.Create right is required and the Record.Create right is needed in the Records system to perform this task. The PCM.Physical.Create right is assigned by default to the PCM Requestor and PCM Administrator roles. The Record.Create right is assigned by default to the predefined Records Privileged and Records Administrator roles.

The Physical Item Information Page opens.

This page shows the current properties of the physical item, including its basic metadata (name, title, filer, and security group), its freeze status, its object and media types, its storage location, and barcode label.

Note the following:

If the repository is set up to auto-generate content IDs (using the System Properties utility), the name of a physical item was generated automatically. It is typically a number, possibly preceded by a prefix (for example, ID_002319).

If the physical item was assigned a life cycle (retention schedule and disposition rules), the information page also includes a Retention Schedule Information section providing disposition processing and security information for the item.

If the physical item is currently checked out, its current location is set to the value of the deliver-to location as specified when the associated reservation request was created. If no location was provided, the current location is set to OTHER. If a location comment was specified for the associated reservation request, the Current Location Comments field shows this comment. Otherwise it contains the login name of the user who created the reservation request.

If the physical item is contained within another physical item, the current location and/or permanent location field includes a Container Details link, which opens the information page of the parent physical item (the container).

8.2 Adding Physical Items To A Content Basket

Use this procedure to add one or more physical items to a content basket. The content basket serves as a personal storage space for users where they can temporarily store multiple items for later processing. For example, if users want to reserve physical items for checkout, they search for all items they want to reserve, and add each of them to their content basket. After adding all items, they can open their content basket and make a reservation request for the items in the basket.

Important:

The content basket must be defined prior to use and a content basket should be designated as the active basket.

After an item is added to a content basket, a user can access the content basket from the My Content Server menu.

Search for the physical item(s) to be added.

On the search results page, select the checkbox of each item to add to the basket.

9 Processing Chargebacks

Chargebacks are used with Physical Content Management.

Chargebacks are fees charged to people or businesses for the use of storage facilities or actions performed on physical items in the storage facilities. They can also be used to provide an explanation for storage actions.

This chapter discusses the processing of charges and invoicing. Not all tasks discussed here can be performed by all users. Access to functionality is dependent on assigned rights and roles.

This chapter covers the following topics:

Section 9.1, "Chargebacks Overview"

Section 9.2, "Configuring Chargeback Processing"

Section 9.3, "Managing Chargeback Tasks"

9.1 Chargebacks Overview

Invoices can be generated for the storage, use, reservation, and destruction of the managed content. The invoices can then be sent to internal or external customers in accordance with applicable business procedures.

The administrator sets up charge types (billable events), payment types (methods of payment), and customers (users or organizations who will be billed). After being set, each billable action (creation, reservation, storage, destruction) can be charged to a particular customer by creating invoices containing one or more transactions on physical items occurring for these customers. Automatic transactions are those in which the charges are calculated at transaction time.

A charge type is a defined transaction triggered by certain criteria. For example, the creation of a physical item of object type Box and media type Box may cost $5 per occurrence, while reservation of an item with priority ASAP Rush may cost $20.

Whenever someone performs an action meeting the criteria of a charge type, a billable transaction is recorded for the associated user or organization (customer). The system uses the most specific charge type. If charge type A has two criteria and charge type B has the same two criteria plus another one, charge type B is recorded for a transaction meeting all three criteria of charge type B even though it also meets the two criteria of charge type A.

An amount of money is associated with each charge type that can be per item or for a specific period.For example, you could charge a fee every time a physical item is created (or reserved or destroyed), or charge a monthly fee to store a physical item.

A payment type specifies how internal or external customers pay for services. Pre-defined payment types include credit card or check. Custom payment types can also be created.

Customers are internal or external users or organizations who are charged for the services rendered on physical items. They will receive the invoices generated by Physical Content Management (in accordance with the applicable business procedures) and make the payments for the chargebacks.

After the charge types, payment types, and customers are defined, they can be used to create invoices to submit to the customers for each billable event. Invoices can be run on as as-needed basis or they can be scheduled automatically in accordance with defined criteria.

9.1.1 Chargeback Process

A site's specific reservation process may differ from the one described here, depending on the procedures in place.

The typical fulfillment process of a chargeback is as follows:

A user performs a billable action (for example, creates, reserves, or stores a physical item in storage).

If automatic transactions are enable, when the user performs one of these actions on the physical item, those items are matched against all defined charge types. Each action on each item is matched against current transactions. If there is no match to a transaction, the action will not be recorded for chargeback.

The transaction is recorded in the system. The administrator should make sure there are transactions in place to cover as many variations as possible regarding actions on physical items. In this way chargeback can be made more automatic and require less individual attention for each request made for a physical item.

The administrator generates an invoice, either automatically through using scheduled invoices or manually by generating individual invoices.

The invoice is sent to the customer according to business procedures. The Physical Content Management functionality does not e-mail invoices or otherwise deliver them.

The bill is paid or otherwise considered paid according to company procedures.

After the bill is paid, the administrator marks the invoice as paid within the Physical Content Management feature.

9.2 Configuring Chargeback Processing

Administrators set up charge types, payment types, and customers.

Permissions:

The PCM.Admin.Manager right is required to perform this action. This right is assigned by default to the PCM Administrator role. In addition, the chargeback feature has its own set of rights that define what users can do in this area.

The default Physical Content Management functionality comes with the following predefined charge actions:

Creation: A user is billed if a physical item is created.

Destruction: A user is billed if a physical item is destroyed.

Reservation: A user is billed if a reservation request is made for a physical item.

Storage: A user is billed if a physical item is stored.

The default Physical Content Management functionality comes with the following predefined payment types:

Credit Card: To charge a customer paying with a credit card.

Check: To charge a customer paying by check.

10 Processing Reservations

The information in this chapter is only available if Physical Content Management has been enabled.

Reservations are used to manage physical items. Items can be checked out to users, reserved for later use, or requested. A user can put a hold on items that are currently unavailable (for example, someone else has the item). If others also made a reservation request for an item, that reservation is put on a waiting list, which specifies the order in which people made a reservation for the item. A reservation request may comprise multiple items.

After a reservation request is made, an e-mail notification is sent to the administrator, who processes the request and starts the reservation fulfillment process in accordance with the applicable procedures in the organization.

If you are a user with the standard reservation privileges, you cannot make any changes to an existing reservation. You can only do so if your administrator has granted you special privileges beyond the defaults for a PCM requestor.

Each user can normally place only one reservation request for the same item. However, the administrator may have set up the system so a user can make multiple requests. This may be useful in environments where there are users who make reservation requests on behalf of several people.

This chapter discusses the following topics about reservations:

Section 10.1, "Reservation Request Properties"

Section 10.2, "Managing Reservations"

10.1 Reservation Request Properties

Each reservation request has several properties, including the following:

Section 10.1.1, "Request Status"

Section 10.1.2, "Transfer Method"

Section 10.1.3, "Priority"

10.1.1 Request Status

The request status specifies the current status for a reserved physical item, which can be any of the following:

Waiting List: The request item is currently already checked out to someone else. It becomes available to the next requestor upon its return (unless the administrator chooses to override the waiting list order).

In Process (initial default): The reserved item is available and is being prepared for delivery. Only one request item for a reservation can have the In Process status.

Not Found: The request item could not be located in its designated location.

Unavailable: The request item cannot currently be processed for delivery.

Denied: The reservation request has been rejected by the administrator and cannot be fulfilled.

Canceled: The reservation request was called off before it could be fulfilled.

Checked Out: The reserved item is currently in the possession of someone as part of a reservation request. If a physical item is checked out, its current location (as shown on the Physical Item Information page) is automatically set to the value of the Deliver To Location field for the associated reservation request. If no value was entered in this field, the current location is set to OTHER. Also, the current location comment on the Physical Item Information page) is set to the location comment specified for the associated reservation request. If no comment was provided, it is set to the login name of the user who made the reservation.

Overdue: The reserved item is currently checked out to someone who has failed to return the item within the configured checkout time. As a result, the reservation request cannot currently be fulfilled.

By default, an e-mail notification is sent out to the user who has an overdue item. This e-mail notification can be turned off.

Returned: The checked-out item was returned to the storage repository, so it is available for other users to reserve and check out.

10.1.2 Transfer Method

The transfer method specifies how the person who made the request (the requestor) will receive the reserved item. Users specify the desired transfer method when a reservation request is created. The following transfer methods are supported:

Copy: The physical content item will be duplicated and the copy will be provided to the intended recipient. The copy can be physical (for example, a copied DVD) or electronic (for example, an ISO image of a CD).

Fax: The physical content item will be faxed to its intended recipient.

Mail: The original physical content item will be mailed to its intended recipient.

Pickup: The intended recipient will pick up the physical content item in person.

Email: The content item will be e-mailed to its intended recipient.

10.1.3 Priority

The priority of a reservation request specifies the urgency with which it must be fulfilled. User specify the desired priority when they create a reservation request. The following priorities are supported:

No Priority: Delivery of the requested item does not have any particular priority (there is no rush). The item can be delivered in accordance with the applicable fulfillment procedures.

ASAP Rush: The requested item should be delivered to its intended recipient as soon as possible after the reservation was made.

This Morning: The requested item should be delivered to its intended recipient the same morning the reservation was made.

Today: The requested item should be delivered to its intended recipient the same day the reservation was made.

This Week: The requested item should be delivered to its intended recipient the same week the reservation was made.

10.2 Managing Reservations

The following tasks are included when managing reservations:

Section 10.2.1, "Creating a Reservation Request"

Section 10.2.2, "Editing a Reservation Request"

Section 10.2.3, "Deleting a Reservation Request"

Section 10.2.4, "Viewing Reservations for a Physical Item"

Section 10.2.5, "Changing the Status of a Request Item"

10.2.1 Creating a Reservation Request

Permissions:

The PCM.Reservation.Create right is required to perform this task. This right is assigned by default to the predefined PCM Requestor and PCM Administrator roles.

Use this procedure to create a new reservation request for one or more physical items.

Reservation requests can only be made for physical (external) items. Error messages are displayed if an attempt is made to reserve electronic (internal) items.

By default, each user can place only one reservation request for the same item. If users make reservation requests on behalf of multiple people (for example, manager assistants), it may be useful to override this behavior. To do so, add the following variable to the physicalcontentmanager_environment.cfg configuration file:

AllowMultipleRequests=true

If a reservation request is created for a physical item containing other items, the other items are included in the reservation. The child items are not seen in the request, but when a checkout is done for the parent item, all child items are also checked out. A request can be made for each of the child items, but they cannot be checked out until the parent item is returned.

As soon as a reservation request is submitted, the status of all request items is automatically changed to In Process, unless their status is already In Process or Checked Out. In that case, it is changed to Waiting List.

Users with the standard reservation privileges (those with the predefined 'pcmrequestor' role) cannot make any changes to an existing reservation by default. In order to edit reservation requests, they must be given the PCM.Reservation.Edit right.

To make a reservation request, complete the following steps:

Search for the physical item(s) to reserve and add them to the content basket.

Choose My Content Server then My Content Basket.

The Content Basket Page opens.

Select the checkbox of each physical item to reserve and choose Request then Request Selected Items from the Table menu. To reserve all items in the content basket, choose Request All Items.

A prompt is displayed asking if the selected items should be removed from the content basket after they are reserved.

Click Yes or No. Click Cancel to stop the reservation request.

The Create or Edit Request Page opens.

Specify the properties of the new reservation request:

Request Name: Name for the reservation. Note that this is not required to be unique. Each reservation request has a unique system-internal reference. The system tracks reservation requests using this internal reference, not the request name. Therefore, multiple reservations can have the same name. Maximum characters: 30.

Request Date: Date and time the request is made. Default is the current date and time.

Requestor: Person submitting the request. Default is currently logged-in user.

Security Group: Group to which the request is assigned. Security groups can be used to limit the requests to which users have access.

Transfer Method and Priority: Desired transfer method and priority to be used.

Required By Date: Date when the items are needed. Click the calendar icon to select a date. Providing a time is optional. If not specified, midnight (12:00) is used.

Deliver To Location and Location Comment: Location where the item should be delivered. If the location is in the storage hierarchy, click Browse to search for and select the location. If not in the hierarchy, use the Comment field to provide delivery details. If an item is checked out, its current location (as shown on the Physical Item Information page) is automatically set to the value of this field for the associated reservation request. If no value was entered, the current location is set to OTHER.

Comments: Additional comments as needed.

Click Create when finished.

The status of all request items is now automatically changed to In Process, unless their status is already In Process or Checked Out. In that case, it is changed to Waiting List. The items are reserved and the administrator is notified about the reservation request. After the administrator processes the reservation request, it can be fulfilled in accordance with the procedures in the organization.

10.2.2 Editing a Reservation Request

Permissions:

The PCM.Reservation.Edit right is required to perform this task. This right is assigned by default to the predefined PCM Administrator role. A user can edit an owned reservation without this right depending on the settings when PCM was configured.

11 Managing Content

Content Folios and Content Basket are two ways to assemble and track groups of content. Full details about using Folios and Content Basket are discussed in the Oracle WebCenter Content User's Guide for Content Server. This chapter discusses the basics of these two methods used to handle content.

The Content Basket Page is a personal storage space where a user can temporarily store multiple items for later processing. After adding items, a user can review the content basket and make reservation requests for the items in the basket.

This chapter discusses the following topics:

Section 11.1, "Folios and Content Basket"

Section 11.2, "Using Content Basket"

11.1 Folios and Content Basket

Content Folio is an optional component automatically installed with the Records system. It can be used to assemble and track groupings of content items in a virtual container such as a content basket. The Content Basket can contain any number of items managed by Oracle WebCenter Content, the Records system, Physical Content Management, or other add-on products.

Folio configuration is performed by administrators and can include custom template design and the creation of specific folio hierarchies designed to help manage content. This chapter does not discuss the details of folio use except how it interacts with the Content Basket. For more details about the use of folios at the organization, see the site administrator.

Items can be added to the Content Basket from the item's information page or search results page using options from the menus on those pages. The information in the Content Basket Pages includes a thumbnail depicting the type of item, the content ID for the item, the item's title, native file name (if any), and source name. If the item is a physical item, source will always be Physical.

The default order for items in the content basket is the order in which they were added. Any new items are added to the bottom of the list. If adding multiple items at the same time (from a search results page), then the items are added in the order in which they were displayed on the search results page. The order of the items in the basket can later be changed.

In previous versions of this product, each user was automatically assigned a content basket. In the current version of the software, users must create their own content baskets. Any items in the user's basket prior to upgrading are not retained.

11.2.4 Sorting Items

Use this procedure to sort the items in a content basket. The order of the items can be changed by modifying the numbers in the Order Priority column.

Click My Content Server then the name of the basket to reorder.

The Content Basket Page opens.

Click Actions then Toggle Row Reorder. Click the Up or Down arrows on individual rows to move the item upward or downward.

11.2.5 Creating Reservation Requests for Items

Use this option to make a reservation request for one or more physical items in a content basket.

Note:

You can only make reservation requests for physical items.

Click My Content Server then the name of the basket to use.

The Content Basket Page opens.

If the content basket does not contain the item(s) to reserve, add them first. For more information, see Section 11.2.3, "Adding or Removing Items."

Select the checkbox of each physical item and choose Request then Request Selected Items from the Table menu. To reserve all items in a content basket, choose Request then Request All Items.

A prompt is displayed asking if the selected items should be removed from the content basket after they are reserved.

Click Yes or No. Click Cancel to abort the reservation request.

The Create or Edit Request Page opens.

Specify the properties of the new reservation request, such as the transfer method, priority, and delivery location.

Click Create when done.

The items are now reserved, and the administrator is notified of the reservation request. After the administrator processes the reservation request, it can be fulfilled in accordance with the procedures in an organization. If a reserved item is already checked out, the user is placed on a waiting list for that item.

11.2.6 Downloading Items

Use this procedure to download a zip file with one or more items in a content basket.

Note:

You can only download items in a zip file if the system has been set up to support this feature.

Click My Content Server then the name of the basket to use.

The Content Basket Page opens.

If the content basket does not contain the item(s) to be reserved, add them first. For more information, see Section 11.2.3, "Adding or Removing Items."

Select the checkbox of each item to download, and choose a download option from the Download menu on the Table menu.

Selecting to download to a workspace stores items in the user's workspace location. A workspace is defined on the user's profile page. It can be an FTP or WebDAV server, a path on the local file system to a location, or Other (which downloads a zip file to be saved at a specified location). Selecting to download to the workspace stores the items in the user's workspace location. If the location is an FTP or WebDAV server and authentication is needed, a dialog is displayed and credentials must be entered.

Download Selected Items

Download All Items

Download Selected Items to Workspace

Download All Items to Workspace

A zip file named Bundle.zip is created and a dialog is displayed with a prompt for the location to open or save the file.

The contents of the zip file depends on the type of item:

Internal (electronic) items: The zip file contains the selected rendition file for the item. The file name for the item is built up as follows:

<Item_Title> (Primary|Web) [<Content_ID> Revision-<Rev. No.>].<File_Extension>

where Primary refers to the native file rendition, and Web to the web-viewable rendition. For example: Report2005 (Primary) [CS12025 Revision-2].doc.

External (physical items): The zip file contains a file with the metadata, location, and retention information about the physical item, in the archive metadata format as specified on the Configure Records Management page. (See the Oracle WebCenter Content Setup Guide for Records for details.) The file name is built up as follows:

<Random_Number> (External Item) [<Item_Name>].<File_Extension>

where the file extension depends on the configured format setting. For example: 810871584 (External Item) [Contracts2009].hda.

11.2.7 Creating E-Mail Links to Items in the Content Basket

Use this procedure to create a new e-mail message in the default e-mail client, with information and links for one or more items in a content basket.

Click My Content Server then My Content Basket.

The Content Basket Page opens.

If the content basket does not contain the item(s) needed, add them first. For more information, see Section 11.2.3, "Adding or Removing Items."

Select the checkbox of each item (rendition) to include in the e-mail message, and choose E-Mail Links then E-Mail Links to Selected Items from the Email Links menu at the top of the page. To include all items in the e-mail message, choose E-Mail Links then E-Mail Links to All Items.

A new e-mail message window for the default e-mail client is displayed, with Content Item Rendition Links as the subject line and links and information for the items in the message body.

Some e-mail clients have limitations regarding the number of characters used in the body of a message. Adding a large number of items as links to an e-mail may exceed the limitation, resulting in some links not being listed.

Contents of E-Mail Message

What is included in the e-mail message for an item depends on the type of that item:

Internal (electronic) items: The e-mail message contains the content ID and title of each selected item, links to the selected rendition file(s) for the item.

External (physical) items: The e-mail message contains the name and title of each selected physical item, a link to the item's information page.

12 Configuring Related Content (Links)

Links establish a type of relationship between content items. This may be useful when content items are related and need to be considered together, for example:

A native file (for example, in Word) has several different renditions such as a PDF or thumbnail image, each of which is checked into the repository as a separate content item.

A native file (for example, in Word) contains several embedded images, each of which is checked into the repository as a separate content item.

A native file (for example, in Word) contains several links to other native files (for example, in Word), each of which is checked into the repository as a separate content item.

Relationships are based on one of four available Relationship Classes. Several Predefined Relationship Types are also provided but custom relationship types can be added to suit the need of the site environment.

Permissions:

You can create relationships between items only to which you have access. You cannot create relationships to items for which you do not have adequate access privileges such as assigned rights, classification, supplemental markings, and so on.

There are two basic methods of creating relationships between items:

Creating a relationship from one item to another item: If a relationship is created from an item in the system to another item in the system, the search page can used during the process to access the item and link to it. For details see Section 12.3.3.2, "Linking to an Existing Item."

Creating a relationship from an existing item to a new item: If a relationship from an item is added to a new item, use the content checkin page during the process to create the new item. For details see Section 12.3.3.1, "Linking to a New Item."

Important:

When items are deleted, all corresponding relationships are deleted, except in the case when a superseded content item is in the midst of disposition processing. A "dangling relationship" exists until the superseded content item completes its disposition processing. Then the relationships are deleted.

This chapter covers the following topics:

Section 12.1, "Predefined Relationship Types"

Section 12.2, "Linking Methods"

Section 12.3, "Managing Related Content"

Section 12.4, "Link Examples"

12.1 Predefined Relationship Types

The following predefined relationship types are available:

Renditions, based on the Peer-to-Peer Class

Supersedes, based on the Chained List Class

Supporting Content, based on the Supporting Content Class

Cross-Reference, based on the Cross-Reference Class

You can also define your own relationship types.

12.1.1 Renditions

The predefined Renditions type is based on the Peer-to-Peer Class. It is typically used to indicate peer relationships between items. Rendition in this sense means a link to a copy or some other version of an item. For example, an editable text item could be linked to a non-editable content item, or a physical printed rendition. This type of relationship can be created by anyone in the RecordsGroup security group to link an item source file to any other renditions.

Figure 12-1 Renditions Links

For example, all versions of a file may be a different graphic type: .psd, .jpg, and .tif. This figure shows A (.psd) is linked to B (.jpg), and B is linked to C (.tif). Item C is linked indirectly by association to A, but it is not actually linked directly to A. If the link between A and B is removed (unlinked), then C is no longer linked by association to A.

To step through an example of creating this type of link, see Section 12.4.2, "Renditions Link Example."

12.1.2 Supersedes

The predefined Supersedes relationship is based on the Chained List Class. It enables a user to create a hierarchical chain of content items where each item in the list is superseded by another item. One example is a subject-to-review content item, which must be maintained with current information. The supersede type causes the previous content item to become obsolete.

A supersedes relationship creates a hierarchy chain between items. The supersedes relationship is special because it enables a user to harness the disposition processing to handle superseded items. This type of relationship is created by anyone in the RecordsGroup security group to link an item superseding another.

Figure 12-2 Supersedes Links

The Supersedes relationship can be set on any item in the chained list, but is typically set on the most recent. The supersede date is set on the item that was superseded, not on the superseding item. Only the most recent version is shown in the Links area on the Content Information page; not all revisions are shown. The most recent item that superseded another item is at the top of the chained list.

For example, a monthly report for April (A) will be superseded by a report in May (B) that is later superseded by a report in June (C), and so on. This figure shows A was superseded by B, which was superseded in turn by C, which was superseded by D. Item D is the most recent record. The date superseded is set on the previously active record, which in this scenario is item C. To step through an example of creating this type of relationship, see Section 12.4.5, "Superseded Link Example."

12.1.3 Supporting Content

The predefined Supporting Content type is based on the Supporting Content Class. There is one main item (the parent) that has several subordinate, supporting items (the children). Supporting content links are based on the premise that a supporting content child can have multiple parent items they support. However, there can be only one parent to multiple child items. A supporting content relationship type can create a single parent-multiple children hierarchy between items.

This type of relationship can be created by anyone in the RecordsGroup security group to link an item to other items supporting the initial parent item in some way. For example, an image can be linked to a text file describing the printing requirements of that image. The supporting content type of relationship for an item with embedded content can also be used.

This relationship is convenient for linking portions of web site content, such as an HTML document with placeholders to images, sound files, or video files. To create a parent-child type of relationship between items crossing usage reference boundaries, the supporting content type can accommodate tracking the item relationships. A single image might be used in multiple parent documents, for instance, and a single document might contain multiple images.

Figure 12-3 Supporting Content Links

For example, a Word document (A) may have embedded content such as a spreadsheet (X) and a graphic (XX). Another document (B) may use some of the first document's content.

This figure shows A and B are the only parent items. Item A has children X, XX, and XY. Item B has children XX, XY, and Y. Both child items XX and XY have multiple parents, A and B. To step through an example of creating this type of link, see Section 12.4.6, "Supporting Content Link Example."

12.1.4 Cross-Reference

The predefined Cross-Reference relationship is based on the Cross-Reference Class. It is essentially a pointer from one item to another. This type of link can be created by anyone in the RecordsGroup security group to link items that reference each other. The link can be unidirectional (going one way only) or bidirectional (or reciprocal, going both ways).

To step through examples of creating these types of link, see Section 12.4.3, "One-Way Cross-Reference Link Example" and Section 12.4.4, "Reciprocal Cross-Reference Link Example."

12.1.4.1 Unidirectional Links

In this example, A is linked to B. On the content information page for A, item A indicates a cross-reference relationship to B. On the content information page for B, item B indicates it is cross-referenced by a relationship to A.

Figure 12-4 One Direction Cross-reference Relationship

To step through an example of creating this type of relationship, see Section 12.4.3, "One-Way Cross-Reference Link Example."

12.1.4.2 Bidirectional (Reciprocal) Relationships

In the previous example, A points to B and vice versa. Item A is cross-referenced to B, and B is cross-referenced to A. When a reciprocal relationship is created from A to B, a cross-reference relationship is automatically created from B to A.

Figure 12-5 Both Directions (Reciprocal) Cross-reference Relationship

To step through an example of creating this type of relationship, see Section 12.4.4, "Reciprocal Cross-Reference Link Example."

12.2 Linking Methods

There are two basic methods of creating relationships:

Creating a relationship from one item to another item: If a relationship is created from an item in the system to another, existing item in the system, the search page can be used during the linking process to access the existing item and link to it. For details see Section 12.3.3.2, "Linking to an Existing Item."

Creating a relationship from an existing item to a new item: If a relationship is added from an item in the system to a new item, use the content checkin page during the linking process to create the new item. For details see Section 12.3.3.1, "Linking to a New Item."

Important:

When items are deleted, all corresponding relationships are deleted except in the case when a superseded item is in the midst of disposition processing. A "dangling link" exists until the superseded item completes its disposition process then the relationships are deleted.

12.2.1 Relationship Classes

Each relationship type is based on a class definition of the relationship. There are four types of classes:

Section 12.2.1.1, "Peer-to-Peer Class"

Section 12.2.1.2, "Chained List Class"

Section 12.2.1.3, "Supporting Content Class"

Section 12.2.1.4, "Cross-Reference Class"

12.2.1.1 Peer-to-Peer Class

The peer-to-peer class represents a relationship between content where none of the items is more important than the other. There is no master or parent item. A typical example would be different renditions of a document (for example, Word, PDF, or thumbnail image). The relationship is a many-to-many (m:n) relationship between peer items. Many content items (m) can have many relationships to other content items (n).

The system comes with the predefined Renditions relationship type based on the peer-to-peer class. For more information, see Section 12.1.1, "Renditions."

12.2.1.2 Chained List Class

The chained list class represents a relationship between content where the individual items are interconnected in series, thus creating a chain of linked items. An example would be incremental versions of items that supersede each other, where a user starts out with the first version, links the second version, links the third version, and so on. The latest linked item may supersede all previous items, but it does not need to. The relationship is a one-to-many (1:m) relationship between the superseding item and its superseded items. There can be one (1) content item that has superseded many (m) content items.

The chained list class is comparable to the revisions concept within Oracle WebCenter Content, but operates at a different level. Chained lists span multiple content items, whereas revision lists are for individual content items only.

Predefined types are available based on the chained list class.

12.2.1.3 Supporting Content Class

The supporting content class represents a relationship between content where there is one main item (the parent) that has several subordinate, supporting items (the children). Typical examples would be documents containing embedded images, or web files with placeholders to external images, sound files, or video clips. The parent item then links to the embedded or external supporting files (children), each of which is checked into the repository as a separate item.

The relationship is a one-to-many (1:m) parent-child relationship between one main item and its supporting items. There can be one (1) parent content item that has many (m) supporting content items. Even though there can only be one parent item in this relationship, child items can belong to multiple parents and reside in other sets of supporting content relationships. A child item can be the supporting content of many parents, but only one parent item can be supported by child items.

Predefined types are available based on the supporting content class. For more information, see Section 12.1.3, "Supporting Content."

12.2.1.4 Cross-Reference Class

The cross-reference class represents a one-to-one relationship between a pair of content items. The relationship is a cross-reference pointing a content item to another content item. The relationship can be unidirectional (pointing in one direction) or bidirectional (pointing in both directions, or reciprocal). A typical example would be a document containing a reference to another document, where these documents are linked together.

Predefined types are available based on the cross-reference class. For more information, see Section 12.1.4, "Cross-Reference."

12.3 Managing Related Content

The following tasks are involved in managing links:

Section 12.3.1, "Adding or Editing a Custom Relation Type (Administrative Function)"

Section 12.3.2, "Deleting a Custom Link Type"

Section 12.3.3, "Linking Items"

Section 12.3.4, "Unlinking an Item"

12.3.1 Adding or Editing a Custom Relation Type (Administrative Function)

Adding or editing custom relations is restricted to users with Records Administrator rights.

You must use one of the predefined classes for this task.

Permissions:

The Admin.ConfigureLinkTypes right is required to perform this action. This right is assigned by default to the Records Administrator role.

Choose Records then Configure from the Top menu. Choose Retention then Related Content Types.

The Configure Link Types Page opens.

Click Add Related Content Type.

The Add or Edit Related Content Type Page opens.

Enter a name.

(Optional) Enter a destination.

Select a type from the Class list. For more information about classes, see Section 12.2.1, "Relationship Classes."

Click Add.

The new type is added.

Use this procedure to edit the name or destination of a custom type. The class cannot be edited.

Choose Records then Configure from the Top menu. Choose Retention then Related Content Types.

The Configure Link Types Page opens.

Click Add Related Content Type.

The Add or Edit Related Content Type Page opens.

In the Actions menu for the custom link to edit, choose Edit.

The Add or Edit Related Content Type Page opens.

If required, edit the name.

If required, enter or edit a destination.

Click Submit Update.

The type is updated on the Configure Link Types page.

12.3.2 Deleting a Custom Link Type

You cannot delete built-in types (System = Yes). If a custom type is in use, it cannot be deleted until it is removed from use. For further details, see Section 12.3.4, "Unlinking an Item." When deleting a custom type, this deletes the type definition, but does not delete any of the associated items.

Permissions:

The Admin.ConfigureLinkTypes right is required to perform this action. This right is assigned by default to the Records Administrator role.

Choose Records then Configure from the Top menu. Choose Retention then Related Content Types.

The Configure Link Types Page opens.

Choose Delete from the Actions menu for the link type to delete.

You are prompted to confirm the action.

Click OK.

The link type is deleted from the Configure Link Types page.

12.3.3 Linking Items

Links can be made to a new item or to an existing item. A link can be made from items in the retention schedule to new items checked in, or an existing item found during searching:

Link New Item: Opens the Content Check In Form so the user can check in a new item linked to an existing item.

Link Existing Item: Opens the Search Page so a user can search for the existing items to link to an existing item.

Users can also create a link to an item during checkin. The Content Relations field is available at the bottom of the checkin page. Use the Browse button next to that field to search for an item to link.

12.3.3.1 Linking to a New Item

Access the item from which to link:

Browse the retention schedule and list items within a category or record folder.

Screen Content for the item if you have the Records Administrator privilege.

Search for an item to link.

From the Retention Schedule, Screening Results, or Search Results page, choose the relationship type from the item's Actions menu.

In the Page menu of the link page, choose Link then Link New Item. The Content Check In Form opens.

Check in the new item to which to link. For more information about how to check in a content item, see Chapter 5, "Creating Content for Retention."

12.3.3.2 Linking to an Existing Item

Access the item for linking:

Browse the retention schedule and list items within a retention category or record folder.

Screen Content for the item if you have the Records Administrator privilege.

Search for an item to link.

From the Retention Schedule, Screening Results, or Search Results page, select the relationship type from the item's Actions menu.

Click the Add Link action for the type of link to make. The link page for the link type opens.

In the menu of the link page, choose Link then Link Existing Item. The Advanced Search Page opens.

Search for the item to which to link. For information about searching, see Chapter 6, "Searching and Screening Content." A search results page opens with a Link column added.

Select the checkbox in the Link column next to the item or items to which to link.

From the Table menu, choose Link then Link Selected Items. The Link Page for the type of link created opens, listing the item to which the link was established.

12.3.4 Unlinking an Item

Use this procedure to unlink two linked items. There may be some compelling reason to remove a link, such as rerouting a link, or using a different type of link altogether.

Important:

To unlink destination links such as Cross-Referenced By or Supported Content By, you must unlink from the content information page of the originating item. The destination links are the links appearing indented in the Links area of the content information page except for reciprocal cross-reference links. You can unlink from either link page in that case.

Navigate to the content information page of the item to unlink.

Click the links with a (+) to open the respective link page.

Choose Unlink from the item's Actions menu.

A message is displayed asking for confirmation of removal of the link.

Click OK. The link page opens with the formerly linked content item no longer listed.

12.4 Link Examples

The following examples demonstrate how to create different types of links. The information in this section is restricted to users with the Records Administrator role:

Section 12.4.1, "Enclosures Custom Link Types Example"

Section 12.4.2, "Renditions Link Example"

Section 12.4.3, "One-Way Cross-Reference Link Example"

Section 12.4.4, "Reciprocal Cross-Reference Link Example"

Section 12.4.5, "Superseded Link Example"

Section 12.4.6, "Supporting Content Link Example"

12.4.1 Enclosures Custom Link Types Example

This example creates a link type with a custom name, and because it is a parent-child relationship, it also creates a destination link. The destination child link brings up any linked supporting items. This example creates a supporting content link types named Enclosed by with a destination link of Enclosing Document, and Enclosure of with a destination link called Enclosures.

Choose Records then Configure from the Top menu. Choose Retention then Related Content Types.

The Configure Link Types Page opens.

Click Add Related Content Type.

The Add or Edit Related Content Type Page opens.

Enter the name Enclosed By for the link in the Name field.

Enter Enclosing Document in the Destination field.

Select the Supporting Content link type from the Class list.

Click Add.

The new link type is added to the Configure Link Types page.

Click Add Related Content Type.

The Add or Edit Related Content Type Page opens.

Enter the name Enclosure of for the link in the Name field.

Enter Enclosures in the Destination field.

Select the Supporting Content link type from the Class list.

Click Add.

The new link type is added to the Configure Link Types page.

The new custom link names are shown in the Configure Link Types page. The Actions column is now populated with a menu for the custom link types, which are indicated by the System column being populated with the value No.

The custom link types are also available to users in the Links area of the content information page. They are also available for use in the Page menu of the search results page.

If links exist for a particular link type, a plus sign (+) is shown after the link type in the Content Information page.

An Enclosed By link to other content items is present for the current item. When a link is clicked, a list of the linked items is displayed.

12.4.2 Renditions Link Example

This example gives the basic steps for creating a renditions link between items. This example creates a rendition link from a newly checked in item to other newly checked in items. This example checks in a master graphics file called Master PSD and then checks in renditions, or different graphics formats of the same file (GIF, PNG, JPEG, BMP, and TIFF), as renditions links to the Master PSD file.

It is probably most convenient to link just after checking in an item because a user does not have to search or browse for the item.

Check in an item called Master PSD. Immediately after checking in, click the Content Info link available on the checkin confirmation page.

In the Links area of the content information page, click Renditions. The Renditions link page opens and is initially blank for the new and unlinked item.

In the Page menu, choose Link then Link New Item.

Check in an item called GIF version completing only required fields. After clicking Check In, the newly checked in and linked item is shown in the Renditions link page for the item.

Repeat linking new and checking in versions called JPEG and TIFF.

Click the Info icon and check the Renditions link for a rendition link. For any of the items on the Renditions link page, they all list each other in their own respective Renditions link pages. All items listed as a rendition link have a Renditions (+) indication on their content information pages.

12.4.3 One-Way Cross-Reference Link Example

This example creates a one-way cross-reference link. The one-way link points one item to another one. Item A (Disaster Recovery Procedures) is cross-referenced to item B (System Backup).

This example creates a one-way cross-reference between existing items. First search for the item to which to create links, and then search for the item or items to link. In this example, Disaster Recovery Procedures is linked to the existing System Backup. For the purposes of trying this example, create two items with these titles and then search for them.

Browse the retention schedule or search for an item to link, for this example, the item called Disaster Recovery Procedures. From the Retention Schedule or Search Results page, click the Info icon. The content information page for the item opens.

In the Links area of the content information page, click Cross-References from the listed links. The Cross-References link page for the item opens and is initially blank.

In the Page menu of the Cross-References Link page, choose Link then Link Existing Item. The Search Results Page for linking the item opens.

Enter the search criteria, and click Search. The Search Results Page opens with a choice of items to link. The title indicates the item from which the user is linking. If the search criteria includes the item from which the user is linking, the checkbox is unavailable for selection. This prevents linking an item to itself. In the Search Results Page for linking, select the checkbox for the items to have links.

In the Page menu of the Search for Links page, choose Link. The items are linked, and the Cross-References Page opens again with the ID and Titles of items linked as cross-references.

Now click the Info icon for a cross-referenced item to open the content information page. Scroll down to the Links area.

The item from which we are linking has a (+) appearing after the Cross-Referenced By link.

Click the Cross-Referenced By link. The System Backup: Cross-Referenced By link page for the item opens.

Click the Info icon and access the content information page for the cross-referenced item. The item from which the link originated has a plus sign (+) appearing after the cross-references link.

12.4.4 Reciprocal Cross-Reference Link Example

This example creates a two-way link, meaning the linked items point to each other. This example creates a reciprocal cross-reference between existing items. First search for the item to which to create links, and then search for the item to link. Similar screens to those used to create a cross-reference link are used and so are not replicated here.

As in the previous example, Disaster Recovery Procedures is linked to the existing System Backup. For the purposes of trying this example, you can create two items with these titles and then search for the items. If you created links for the one-way example, unlink the items before proceeding with this example to view the same results as demonstrated for this example.

Browse the retention schedule or search for an item to link. From the Retention Schedule or Search Results page, click the Info icon. The content information page for the item opens.

In the Links area of the content information page, click Cross-References from the listed links. The Cross-References link page for the item opens and is initially blank.

In the Page menu of the Cross-References Link page, choose Link then Link Existing Item. The Search Results Page for linking the item opens.

Enter your search criteria, and click Search. The search results are displayed for you to choose items to link. The title indicates the item you are linking from. If your search criteria includes the item from which you are linking, the checkbox is unavailable for selection. This prevents linking an item to itself. In the Search Results Page for linking, select the checkbox for the items to which to create reciprocal links.

In the Page menu of the Search for links page, choose Link then Link Reciprocal. The items are linked, and the Cross-References Page opens again with the ID and titles of items linked as cross-references.

Now click the Info icon for the cross-referenced item System Backup to open the content information page for the item which was just linked. Scroll down to the Links area. Notice the Cross-Reference and Cross-Referenced By links now indicate the reciprocal cross-reference links. Each Cross-References link now contains the plus (+) signs, and this appears for the content information pages of both items.

Click the Cross-Referenced By link. The Cross-Referenced By links page opens for the item.

You cannot perform any action from the Cross-Referenced By links page except viewing content information for any listed items. You must unlink the cross-referenced by items from their respective originating cross-references link pages; the same is true of Supported Content By or other indented (destination) links.

12.4.5 Superseded Link Example

This example demonstrates creating a superseded link. Because subject-to-review content must be kept up-to-date, this example demonstrates superseding items that are subject to review. You can supersede items not subject to review as well. This example locates a subject-to-review item, accesses the supersedes link, and checks in a new item that supersedes the existing one.

The supersedes link is a special type of link allowing you to take advantage of disposition processing to handle the superseded items. You can set up a category to have disposition processing rules such as Destroy AFTER superseded or Archive AFTER superseded. The supersede linking does not itself process superseded items; you must file the item into a category whose disposition instructions include handling superseded states.

The most likely scenario for superseding is to link a new item to an existing item. When new content is linked superseded to existing content, the existing content becomes obsolete and is marked as superseded automatically. The superseded and obsolete dates are populated for you on the content information page of the superseded item.

The current reigning content is always at the top of the list of superseded content. The superseded content is all underneath the current one, and (Superseded) is indicated parenthetically after each superseded item. The superseded items are displayed in the order the superseding occurred, starting with the first at the bottom of the list.

Of course, you do not have to file content that might be superseded into categories containing disposition instructions explicit to superseded. Multiple versions of superseded content can exist; their respective disposition instructions may just involve a retention period and then a destruction.

To step through this example, create a subject-to-review item called Status Report. If you have a non-production instance containing a subject-to-review category with disposition instructions for handling superseded content states, file the item into that category. Create another document called new status report but do not check it in before the example. It will be checked in during the example.

To try out this example:

Search for an item to link that is subject to review, for this example, an item called Status Report.

From the search results page, choose Add Link (Supersedes) from the Actions menu of the item to link. The Supersedes link page opens for the item.

Choose Link then Link New Item on the Page menu. The Content Check In Form opens. Check in the document you created called New Status Report as a subject-to-review item into a category whose disposition instructions include actions to handle a superseded state.

The Supersedes link page opens again with the superseded content and its linked item shown. The originating content that was superseded is now in the list, with its superior item now listed above it.

Because the disposition instruction of the Status Report is set to destroy when superseded, the administrator responsible for the item will receive a notification there is a pending event for the administrator to process (destroying the superseded item).

12.4.6 Supporting Content Link Example

This example demonstrates creating a supporting content link between existing content items.

Search for an item to link, for this example, an item called Main HTML Home Page.

From the Search Results page, choose Add Link (Supporting Content) from the item Actions menu. The Supporting Content link page opens for the existing item called Main HTML Home Page.

In the Page menu, choose Link then Link Existing Item. The Advanced Search Page opens with the ID of the item in the title.

Enter your search criteria, and click Search. The Search Results Page opens.

Select the item to link as supporting content by selecting the checkbox for the item.

In the Page menu, choose Link. The Supporting Content Link Page for the item opens again, listing the now linked items.

Repeat the supporting link process for the parent item Annual Corporate Report Brochure and link it to the child item Corporate Logo, as shown below.

Click the Info icon to access the content information page for the Corporate Logo Image child item. The Supported Content By links indicates there are links present because there is a plus sign.

Click the Supported Content By link to show the link page for the child item. The Supported Content By indicates the content the item supports. The child item Corporate Logo shows its multiple parents.

13 Using Simple Profiles

Oracle WebCenter Content: Records uses Simple Profiles functionality that lets users set up customized checkin, search, and updating pages based on a site's needs.

Simple Profiles are based on Content Profile functionality. Content Profiles is a field-based approach to customizing content pages. Simple Profiles is a form-based application. A software wizard tool steps the user through the process of creating a profile. Users can customize the forms by choosing what fields will appear, the order of the fields, and can create tool tips and prompts to remind the user of needed actions and valid entries.

Most users do not have the security privileges required to use the Content Profile tool in the Configuration Manager applet, but all users are able to use Simple Profiles, regardless of their security privileges. The Simple Profile functionality meets Department of Defense 5015 certification requirements and enables individual users to set their own defaults for a personal profile.

This chapter provides an overview of profiles and details about how to create new profiles. It discusses the following topics:

Section 13.1, "Creating a Profile"

Section 13.2, "Designing a Simple Profile"

Section 13.3, "Profile Management"

13.1 Creating a Profile

This section discusses how to set up a new profile using the Simple Profiles component.

Profiles limit information shown on often-used pages, thus making it easier for users to see or enter only information that is directly relevant. Profiles can be considered a type of filter for what information is displayed.

System profiles are created by an administrator and can be accessed by any user. Personal profiles are created and configured by a user for personal use. If a administrator sets up a personal profile, it is available for use only by the administrator, not to others in the enterprise.

Permissions:

The Records User right is required to create a personal profile. To perform any administrative functions, the Record Administrator or PCM Administrator role is required.

A profile is composed of rules and a trigger value, based on a trigger field. Select the trigger field in the initial step of setting up the profile then use the Simple Profiles interface to set the rules to control the trigger.

The following topics are discussed in this section:

Section 13.1.1, "Trigger Fields"

Section 13.1.2, "Rules"

Section 13.1.3, "Profile Pages"

13.1.1 Trigger Fields

The first step in the profile process is to determine a trigger field. The trigger must match the following criteria:

It must be an option list metadata field. The fields that are defined as option list fields are the only fields that appear in the list for trigger selection.

After a trigger field has been defined for a system profile, it cannot be deleted from the system. (A user can delete a trigger field defined for a personal profile.)

A trigger field can be disabled by a administrator using the Profiles tab of the Configuration Manager applet. Click Select, then select none specified from the Add Profile page, then click OK.

Caution:

If a trigger field is disabled, all profiles are disabled but they remain listed on the Search and New Check In menu. If a trigger field is changed after profiles have been created that use that field, the existing profiles could become invalid.

If a metadata field in a document matches a trigger value for a profile that profile is used for the document.You can have an unlimited number of profiles, but only one trigger value per profile. For example, if a trigger field is dDocType, Profile 1 can use a trigger value of ADACCT. Profile 2 can use a trigger value of ADSALES.

13.1.2 Rules

A rule is a set of metadata fields that determine how the fields are shown on the Check In, Update, Content Information, and Search pages. It also determines if fields are editable, required, hidden, excluded, or read-only. A rule can be evaluated for every profile (global) or can be evaluated for a specific profile.

A global profile is one that is always evaluated. Because profile rules are evaluated after global profiles, global profiles can be superseded by profile rules. However, administrators can set the priority for the global profile and increase its precedence.

Important:

Global system profiles affect all personal profiles that other users create. The defaults, descriptions, and labels that an administrator creates in this type of profile are used on the personal profiles other users create if the profile is made global.

13.1.3 Profile Pages

After determining the trigger value, set up the following elements in Simple Profile pages by using either the profile configuration Wizard (when creating a new simple profile) or the following page menu options. For details about using these options, see Section 13.2.2, "Using the Create/Update Profile Pages."

Note:

Some of these elements are restricted to use by administrators only at a site. Available elements also may be limited by the configuration for a site.

Configure fields: Used to choose the fields to appear on forms and whether those fields are excluded, hidden, un-editable (read-only) or required.

Set field formats: Used to specify the formats for fields.

Set default values: Used to set the default values for fields.

Set derived values: Used to set the derived values for fields.

Group fields: Used to determine how the fields are grouped, the headings used, and any other descriptive information about the groups.

Set labels: Used to change the display names for the fields used in the profile.

Set descriptions: Used to add a field label tool tip for a field to explain the field usage.

Restrict options: Used to restrict what appears on a form or to determine the order of options in a list, depending on the field choice.

Set activation condition: Used to set the activation condition that changes profile behavior based on different inputs.

Limit access (Administrators Only): Used to limit access to a system profile based on a security group.

Set search order: Used to set the search order for search results and the direction of a search (ascending or descending).

Include as many of these elements as needed in the profile.

Designing a profile consists of a number of steps. The exact number and order of the steps depends on the elements to be included in the profile. This document describes all the steps. Choose the steps needed for the profile.

13.2 Designing a Simple Profile

System profiles are profiles that can be used by all users. These are typically created by administrators. Personal profiles are profiles that are created by individual users for their own personal use. The following sections describe how to create and configure a profile.

Section 13.2.1, "Adding a New Profile"

Section 13.2.2, "Using the Create/Update Profile Pages"

Note:

Some tasks are restricted to administrators.

Tip:

When creating a new profile, you can test the effects of the profile and then edit the functionality. You can exit the Wizard at various points in the profile creation process and view the effect of the profile. To return to editing the profile, choose Edit, then Update Profile from the Page menu bar for the profile. If you have closed the profile, from the Profile Listing Page choose Edit, then Update Profile from the Actions menu for the desired profile. Use the Wizard Page Menu to quickly navigate to the specific page you need to update.

13.2.1 Adding a New Profile

Follow these steps to create a new system or personal profile using Simple Profiles. Add as many elements to the profile as needed. The pages shown in the Wizard depend on the elements selected in the Wizard fields.

Access the Simple Profile functionality on the system depending on the type of profile to be created:

To create a personal profile, choose My Content Server then My Simple Profiles then choose the profile type. Select Create then Create Profile. Profiles created in this fashion will appear as a menu selection on the Checkin and the Search menus.

Administrators: To create a system profile that can be used by all users, choose Records then Configure then Simple Profiles. Choose the profile type. Select Create then Create Profile.

To create a system profile for Physical Content Management, choose Physical, then Configure then Physical Profiles. Select Create then Create Profile.

To create a global profile that will be applied to every profile, choose Create Global Profile instead of the Create Profile option. A global profile is one that is applied to every profile and which may override other profile behavior. Global profiles are applied in order of the priority assigned to the profile. Use this option with caution.

Enter a name for the profile. This name can be a maximum field length of 50 characters and cannot contain special characters (; @ &, and so on).

Enter a label for the profile. This name appears in the New Check In menu list and in the Search menu list.

Enter a description for the profile.

Choose the trigger value for the profile. When the trigger field matches this trigger value, the profile is used. Depending on the type of trigger chosen, a list may be available where a value can be selected.

If the rules in a profile should be used globally, select Is Global. Global rules are those that are always evaluated, regardless of the criteria selected for the profile. An administrator can apply global rules to a system profile, which will affect all users. A user can apply global rules, but those rules apply only to the user's personal profiles.

Important:

Global rules for a system profile may affect personal profiles. The defaults, descriptions, and labels created in the system profile may affect pages used in creating personal profiles.

If global rule is selected, choose a priority number. A low priority number gives a lower precedence. The rule is executed before other higher priority rules, which means any changes made by higher priority rules may override those made by this rule.

Leave Clear Search Trigger Value unselected to prevent pre-populating the trigger value specified in step 6. Default behavior is to allow the trigger value to be inserted on the Search pages that use the profile. By selecting this option, the trigger value is not used.

Select the auxiliary metadata set or sets to use as a source for field values.

Select the elements to include by selecting the appropriate checkboxes in the Wizard Fields list.

When finished selecting elements to include, click Save.

The first page chosen for configuration opens.

Make any configuration choices for each page in the Wizard. After specifying the configuration for each page, click Save, and the Wizard will continue with the next page in the sequence.

To avoid saving the configuration for a page, click Reset to return the settings to their original values. At any time during this process the user can click Exit Wizard and the configuration is saved in the new profile, even if the user has not completed all the pages.

Note:

In some pages, if you choose a field but don't specify a value for it, a message will appear to tell you to specify a value.

When you finish configuring the last page in the profile Wizard sequence, click Save.

The Simple Profile Information Page opens. From this page the user can update, delete, or copy the profile.

13.2.2 Using the Create/Update Profile Pages

The profile pages available for configuring a new simple profile depend on the options selected on the Create/Update Simple Profile Page.

The following general procedure can be used to manage the information on any of the pages:

Click a field name to designate it for use. To designate a block of fields, click the first field, then press the Shift key and click the final field in the block.

Click the arrows to move the field from one location to another. A field can only be used in one location at a time. On some pages, arrows also can be used to sort the order of fields.

If a field has an additional element, such as a label to be associated with the field or a value that can be selected, that information appears at the bottom of the page.

To save the page and move to the next page in the Wizard sequence, click Save.

To exit the process and save the profile at any point, click Exit Wizard.

To reset the values on the page, click Reset.

To receive help information for the page, click Quick Help.

When done, click Save.

If no more modifications are needed to the profile, click Exit Wizard. The Simple Profile Information Page opens.

For details about moving fields into designated areas on this page, see Section 13.2.2, "Using the Create/Update Profile Pages." For details about saving your work, see Section 13.2.2.3, "Saving, Resetting, and Exiting the Design Process."

13.3 Profile Management

Keep the following points in mind when managing system and personal profiles created with the Simple Profiles component:

A copied profile contains all of the information in the original profile. Make certain to change any labels, defaults, or security groups in the copied profile.

All management functionality (updating, copying, deleting) is available from the Page menu bar on the Simple Profile Information Page and from the Actions menu for a profile.

When creating a profile, if the wizard was exited before finishing the profile by using the Exit Wizard option, any changes made up to that point by using the Save button are saved. The Reset button cannot be used to change them. Edit them using the Update Profile option.

Administrators Only: If a profile is moved to the Content Profiles applet it can no longer be modified using Simple Profiles.

Administrators Only: View the details of profiles created with Simple Profiles by using the Rules tab on the Configuration Manager applet. All of the rules created with Simple Profiles appear on that tab.

Caution:

Do not edit any rules created for a simple profile by using the Rules tab. Editing or deleting the rules invalidates the profiles.

This is a depiction of a hierarchical retention structure.

This image depicts a large cube, which is symbolic of the warehouse. Inside the cube is another cube, indicative of a room. Other storage spaces (row, bay, shelf, and position) are within the 'room', in increasing smaller increments.

This image depicts a life cycle by showing a horizontal bar with "Filing Date" on the far left of the image, "Cutoff" in the middle, and "Destruction?" on the far right. The length of time is indicated by an arrow going from left to right above the horizontal bar showing the life cycle of the process.
