SharePoint Definitions Metadata Content Type Information Management Policy Records Library Content Organizer Rule Document Set Represented in SharePoint by site columns (e.g., title, author, event date). A reusable collection of metadata definitions that apply to a category of SharePoint documents (e.g., contracts, engineering drawings, policies). A set of rules that govern the lifecycle of a document in SharePoint. Typically used to apply disposition policies but they can also be used to route documents to another location based on an event date. A special version of a Document Library that facilitates the record declaration process. Libraries can be divided into multiple levels of folders and subfolders to allow for a more granular or complex solution. Used to route documents out of a Drop off library and into a final location. Conditions are defined by a combination of content type plus metadata to ensure that documents are routed into the correct retention or security container. A special version of a content type that allows many documents to be grouped and therefore retained together based on the same event (e.g., project end date).
