Option to prevent documents deleted by a deletion policy, going to the trash (v7.8 >)
The new trash feature is very nice! But in some cases unwanted. Especially when (larger) volumes are deleted, that are not needed anymore, it makes no sense to put them into a trash record. A feature to have a checkbox in the 'Deletion policy configuration' which decides if the documents need to go to the trash or not.

As a workaround for this issue, I have created a workflow that will use the platform API to delete all the sections of a document. this converts the document into a data record which will eventually be deleted by the delete policy.

nicely put, for audit requirements some documents need to be deleted within X amount of days. The recycle bin adds an artificial 30 days to these documents which is unwanted in this use-case.

This would be very helpful - since most of us already set up some form of a deletion policy and do not need to have an extra 30 days added to that policy.

When can I expect a response from DocuWare regarding this feature that should have been implemented as part of the trash bin feature to begin with!? (from my point of view)
Please get in touch regarding the subject, if you (DocuWare) have no idea what is meant by the request.
