Freezing record folders

Users with the appropriate capabilities can freeze records and folders. This places a hold on the record or folder. A hold allows objects frozen for a particular reason to be tracked as a set. Holds prevent changes to frozen objects, which have their retention schedules suspended until the hold is removed. When you freeze a folder, all records within the folder are also frozen.
  1. Hover over a record folder in the File Plan and click Freeze.

    The Reason for Freeze dialog box displays.

  2. Enter the reason you're freezing the record folder and click Freeze Record(s).

    A message displays confirming that the folder is frozen, and the folder now displays the Frozen icon.

The folder remains in its place in the File Plan. It is also shown in the Holds area of the explorer panel.
