Of course you have to define the retention trigger when publishing
an event-based trigger 'ACT+'  in a retention schedule and of course the
explanation of the triggering event has to be available with the thing it's
explaining, and be prominent, brief, easy to understand. Just like tables
and schedules in the rest of the world require legends and
documents require glossaries. Who would create, publish, circulate a
retention schedule with mysterious acronyms that nobody but a records
manager understands?

Time-based retention triggers should also be explained right there in the
retention schedule every time they are used because it's only clear to
records managers, not to everybody else, that the time-based trigger means,
by default, that retention period begins when the record is created (or
received).
