In a couple of previous posts, I covered retention labels and how to apply them within your tenant. An option when creating retention labels is to have your document declared a record when the policy/label is applied. Records add an extra level of content security to your documents. Now keep in mind I don’t mean information security in this case. Declaring a document won’t keep your information from entering the wrong hands or being used improperly. We’ll cover those topics in the future. A record instead protects the content within the document. Read on as I explain Office 365 records management.
So today I started creating a new custom approval using Microsoft Flow. I had been working for about 15 minutes or so and thought to myself that it may be a really good idea for me to save my work because we all know that if I didn’t do it soon something would cause me to lose everything (because initial save hadn’t been accomplished yet. When I clicked on the save button I received an error I hadn’t received before. “Tag value to large. Following tag value…exceeded the maximum length.

I continually get frustrated because there are so many great blogs and tidbits of information out there that I want to keep up on, but there isn’t enough hours in the day. On social media I often see great blogs posted by colleagues and friends, or in my day to day while looking for solutions, I will come across other blogs on my own. The problem is that during the day I simply don’t have enough time to read all of them. So I simply leave my tabs open to come back later during lunch or a break. Except that never seems to happen as something always comes up. I usually have plenty of time to read them in the evening once everyone is settled down at home, but I always forget what I was looking at. I have tried emailing them home, but they get lost within all the other emails I received. I set rules, but even if I come back to them, I like to take notes and emails aren’t the best place to do that. So after reading Tracy Van Der Schyff’s blog on moving notes to Planner and Teams I had a thought. What about going the other way?
