Holds
NOTE: Applies to unstructured data only.
A hold is a way of protecting content indefinitely when it cannot be removed from the system according to the normal retention schedule. This might be the result of a number of actions such a legal preservation order, a pending investigation, or a regulatory request. Content that is on hold cannot be destroyed until the hold has been released.
A workspace may have multiple holds associated with it. A document cannot be deleted from Fusion until all holds from all workspaces are released.
For any documents placed on hold that have not been collected, collection and full processing are triggered at the time the hold is created. You can view the status of the collection on the Holds page for the workspace.
The Holds page is accessed from the HOLDS tab of the workspace artifacts panel on the workspace overview page. The artifacts panel provides a quick view of active holds and provides access to the Holds page for more detailed information and to take action. On the Holds page, use the filter above the list of holds to show all holds or holds with the desired status. Click in the row for an individual hold to reveal action icons
Open the detail panel () for a selected hold to take action and to see the responsible person, the date the hold was created, the total size of the documents on hold, the number of documents on hold relative to the number of documents in the workspace, and collection details for the documents on hold.
TIP: You have access to features and functions based on your assigned permissions. You will only see features and functions that have been enabled for the workspace you are viewing and that you have permission to see.
