Retention Policies
Document Archive is integrated in the Retention Policies of Business Central.
First, please check the Retention Policies in Business Central article on Microsoft Learn for a general description of how to set up retention policies.
You can add the Document Archive file tables to the Retention Policies by creating a new Retention Policy and set it up for Table Id = 70257124 (Document Archive Remote File Link
).
When a record is deleted the Document Archive File Link in Business Central is deleted and also the file stored on the file handler.
Tip
You can also set up a Retention Period per Document Archive Category.
