Disposition Process

The Disposition Process within the Gimmal Physical application consists of three distinct stages: Identification, Aggregation, and Disposition.

Each one of these stages comes with its own set of reports and a specific set of requirements to be met to proceed through the disposition process.

1. The Identification Stage collects and organizes physical assets for Disposition. This stage creates batches based on conditions (e.g. filters, dates) set by the Record Managers. This stage also facilitates the disposition decisions process for these assets, either with the integrated automated process with dashboard links and disposition decision pages, or via reports which can be broken down by each functional unit, department, or organization involved.

2. The Aggregation Stage facilitates the collection of physical assets. It comes with the Disposition Picklist Report.  There is a Picklist Report for each facility’s housing records.

3. The Disposition Stage updates destruction dates and creates destruction reports to complete the process. It comes with the Certificates of Destruction for each functional unit, department, or organization involved.

Disposition can be run at the container (e.g. box) or contents (e.g. file) level. This is determined at the time of application configuration.
