Managing and applying Purview retention labels using code
Introduction Microsoft 365 Purview allows you to create and publish retention labels that you can apply to data in SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams and Exchange.
Managing and applying Purview retention labels using code is a process that allows organizations to use automated methods to classify, label, and retain content stored in their environment. It enables organizations to set up rules for automatically labeling content with the appropriate retention label when it is created or modified, as well as manage the lifecycle of data according to those labels.
This process helps ensure compliance with legal and regulatory requirements by ensuring that all relevant data is retained for an appropriate amount of time. In addition, it can also help simplify administrative tasks such as managing large amounts of unstructured data. By automating these processes through code, organizations are able to save time and resources while still meeting their objectives for compliance and governance.
Introduction
Microsoft 365 Purview allows you to create and publish retention
labels that you can apply to data in SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams and Exchange. These labels ensure that data is retained for a required period of time. They define if content should be locked as a record in the meantime and if it should be deleted after the retention period has ended. This is especially useful for data that is not actively used, but still needs to be kept for legal or compliance reasons.
