. Some further information on the rules is given below:

More information on version management
Documents that are locked at the time the deletion policy is run are not deleted.
Table fields are not displayed in the document filter.
A deletion policy always displays the time for job execution in the time zone in which the policy was created. If your Windows time zone is different, a list will appear and you can select your time zone. This makes it easier to customize job execution since you do not have to work out the time difference: However, the execution time is not automatically postponed.
