Kim,

Here is a link to the functional file classification for the State of
North Dakota.  We use it as the basis for paper files, electronic filing
systems on shared drives and for records retention purposes.  

Records Management Manual: http://www.nd.gov/itd/records/rmmanual.pdf
(see page 24)

It works very well for us. Please call me if you have any questions.

Subject: [RM] functional classification outline

I am interested in trying to build a functional classification for the
files in my building (which still need to have our brand new retention
schedule applied to them!). Has anyone ever done this from scratch, or
had this done for them by a consultant? Were you happy with the results?

What was the process like, and were your staff members receptive to the
idea of doing something really different with their files?

Finally, I'd like to ask if anyone has an outline they wouldn't mind
sharing as an example I can use to show the administration here, I'd
really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance for your help and insight.

Kim
