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.
