According to one embodiment, a records management system identifies a set of records subject to a document retention policy. The set of records includes electronic records and physical records. The records management system generates a disposal report listing the records and information associated with the records. The disposal report is associated with an identifier. The records management system performs a deletion workflow to remove the records listed in the report.
