I recently attended a demonstration of an Electronic Document Management
System and was surprised to find out that there was no way of deleting
documents from the system. You could 'delete' the record so that it was no
longer accessible via the standard front end however the records was still
there are could be restored if necessary.
Is this standard practice? It seems to me that we would need to delete
records in order to comply with Data Protection legislation?
I would be interested to hear whether others are using similar systems or
whether there are systems that allow 'full deletion.'
Thanks
Caroline
