Example 1

New-ComplianceRetentionEvent -Name "Research Project Employees" -EventTag 80e0d620-13ea-4ed9-b6a6-aa883278bcca -EventType e823b782-9a07-4e30-8091-034fc01f9347 -SharePointAssetIDQuery "EmployeeNumber:123456 EmployeeNumber:456789"

This example creates a compliance retention event named Research Project Employees with the following settings:

  • EventTag: 80e0d620-13ea-4ed9-b6a6-aa883278bcca
  • EventTpe: e823b782-9a07-4e30-8091-034fc01f9347
  • SharePointAssetIDQuery: EmployeeNumber:123456 EmployeeNumber:456789

Parameters

-AssetId

The AssetId parameter specifies the Property:Value pair found in the properties of SharePoint or OneDrive for Business documents that's used for retention. For example:

  • Product codes that you can use to retain content for only a specific product.
  • Project codes that you can use to retain content for only a specific project.
  • Employee IDs that you can use to retain content for only a specific person.

-Comment

The Comment parameter specifies an optional comment. If you specify a value that contains spaces, enclose the value in quotation marks ("), for example: "This is an admin note".

-Confirm

The Confirm switch specifies whether to show or hide the confirmation prompt. How this switch affects the cmdlet depends on if the cmdlet requires confirmation before proceeding.

  • Destructive cmdlets (for example, Remove-* cmdlets) have a built-in pause that forces you to acknowledge the command before proceeding. For these cmdlets, you can skip the confirmation prompt by using this exact syntax: -Confirm:$false.
  • Most other cmdlets (for example, New-* and Set-* cmdlets) don't have a built-in pause. For these cmdlets, specifying the Confirm switch without a value introduces a pause that forces you acknowledge the command before proceeding.
