Abstract

This disclosure describes techniques of managing electronic documents as electronic records that do not require moving the electronic documents to a different repository. As described herein, an electronic document is stored at a first repository prior to a time when the electronic document is declared to be an electronic record. An administrator is able to configure a document management system (DMS) to manage the electronic document as an electronic record after the electronic document is declared to be an electronic record. In addition, the administrator is able to configure the DMS to store a copy of the electronic document at a second repository after the electronic document is declared to be an electronic record and to manage the copy of the electronic document as an electronic record.
