A Date Property Trigger represents a date derived from an item’s metadata properties. For example, suppose a document contains the property of Created Date. To use this property as a Trigger, you must define a new Date Property Trigger.
Date Property Triggers are typically used to compare date properties stored with the record with the current date to determine if retention should begin. For example:
-
Start retention on the date a record's content was modified:
-
Set Property Name to "@modified"
-
-
Start retention on a custom date column in SharePoint:
-
Set Property Name to the SharePoint column name
-
For SharePoint, use the Display Name, not the internal name
-
