Records Management

Updated for 2023, the Department of Navy (DON) Records Management application is the mobile version of the mandatory DON Records Management training course. This annual, app-based training provides personnel with Records Management guidelines and best practices in accordance with Federal regulations. It helps users understand general recordkeeping methods, the records lifecycle, dispositions, essential records, electronic records, senior leaders’ records, and related information. In particular, the app will help users understand their duties regarding the records they are responsible for maintaining.  Some of those responsibilities include:
- Ensuring you know your agency's Records Management policies and procedures 
- Reviewing your office's file plan and determining materials you are responsible for maintaining
- Following the retention and disposition guidance specified in the records schedule
- Informing your Records Manager of any discrepancies or needed updates to the file plan
- Understanding that you can be held liable if a record is not properly managed.
