So far I am very impressed with the new Records Center site definition and architecture of SharePoint 2010. Some of the new features include:
- New and informative page for administering the Records Center (allows newbies to work with the record center easily)
- Routing Rules based on submitted record properties (not just the content type anymore) – COOL
- Routing to a different site (not just on the Records center site only anymore) – NICE
- Routing Priority (allows for more complex routing scenarios)
- Retention expiration can be based off of the typcial fields (ModifyDate, CreateDate) and a new one called "Declared Record" (when it was defined as a record)
- On Expiration has the following actions:
- Move to Recycle Bin
- Permanently Delete
- Transfer to Another Location
- Start a workflow
- Skip to Next Stage
- delete Previous drafts
- Delete all previous versions
At a farm level you can:
- Configure Send To Connections by Web Application (versus Farm in 2007)
- Allow multiple send to Connections
- Three options on "Send" event (Copy, Move, Move and leave link)
- On submission, the final "resting" place is returned for the item
Nice changes!
