Retention Audit Trail for AI Chatbots and Agents for Cities and Towns
CityDesk maintains a retention audit trail that records every deletion performed under retention policies to prove compliant disposal and confirm legal holds were honored. It captures details like record type, creation and deletion timestamps, applicable retention period, the job that triggered deletion, and any items skipped due to holds for use in audits and public records responses.
