Alfresco Records Management Folder Hierarchy Model

File Plan

• A file plan is the top structure in the records management hierarchy.
  
• A repository usually only has one file plan, but can have more than one.
  
• A file plan contains many record categories and/or record category series.
  

Record Category Series

• A grouping of record categories
  

Record Category

• Records can be filed in record category
  
• A record category defines how the record is treated during it's lifecycle
  
• It has retention and disposition data associated with it
  
• Record folders and records filed within the category are subject to the data defined on the category.
  

Record Folder

• A record folder is an extension to a file plan.
  
• A record folder is managed by the RMA as a 'fat record'.
  
• It contains many records which are grouped together.
  
• A record folder allows retention and disposition of the contained records to happen together.
  

Record

• A record is any content that has been filed within a File Plan.
  
• A record can refer to non-digital content.
  
• A records life cycle is managed by the RMA and determined by the record category it is filed within.
