Data retention period 

eBrief Ready provides two tools to help manage ageing matters: expiring matters and trashed matters. Both are configured by an Organisation Administrator.

Expiring matters

When the matter expiration feature is enabled, matters that have not been accessed for a set period will be automatically trashed by eBrief Ready. The duration can be set up to 365 days.

The matter owner will receive a warning seven days before the matter is trashed, with the option to keep it.

To configure the expiration period:

  1. Go to Organisation AdminSecurity & PrivacyData Retention
  2. Under Matter expiry duration, select the duration from the dropdown

Trashed matters

Once a matter is trashed, it is retained for a set period before being permanently deleted. The retention period can be set to either 7 or 30 days, 2, 3 or 6 months or 1 year.

After the retention period, the matter, all folders, and all documents will be permanently deleted from eBrief Ready.

To configure the retention period:

  1. Go to Organisation AdminSecurity & PrivacyData Retention
  2. Under Trashed items retention period, select the duration from the dropdown

Restoring a trashed matter

To restore a trashed matter, go to Organisation AdminMattersTrashed Matters and click the restore icon next to the matter.
