Table 3-1 Auto and manual declaration and classification comparison This section is designed to present a summary of the information areas needing  research required to set up a basic records management configuration.

Design and planning for e-mail records enabling  61 Auto-declare and classify Manual-declare and classify Little or no user input. Little or no training  is required for the users. Require user input and training. More  disruption to the normal daily workload. For the documents covered by the subset  of the file plan used, an organization can  be assured that records management for  these documents is taking place  (assuming the correct configuration has  been applied).  An organization cannot guarantee that  users are declaring and classifying  appropriate records, nor can they  guarantee that the documents are  declared and classified correctly. Little opportunity for users to abuse the  records management procedures. Users  may not even be aware that records are  being captured. Users may take shortcuts and this will  result in misclassified records or they may  choose to not classify records at all.  Re-declaration and classification may be  required by records administrators. Modifications to the file plan can be  implemented with little or no user  involvement, other than in the initial  planning. Whenever modification is done to the file  plan, users must be informed and trained  about the changes. More up-front planning. More up-front configuration Less up-front planning. Very little up-front configuration is needed. Depending on how auto-classification is  set up, these policies must be regularly  reviewed by records administrators. Records administrators do not need to  review the setup. Less load on records administrators to  reclassify incorrectly classified documents  if users are well trained. Requires relevant training for users. Some documents may not fall into any  auto-classification rules and thus require  manual classification.  Flexible declaration and classifying of  records.
