As a university, we have a record-keeping obligation, which means we must save certain documents and correspondence to ensure that:
Documents and correspondence must be stored in an ESDH system that is designed to store documentation securely.
The senior management team has decided that Workzone will be used for cases with record-keeping obligations.
As a general rule, all cases that involve external parties – i.e. parties outside Aarhus University – must be filed. For example collaborations with government agencies, foundations, companies, hospitals, media or other universities.
Case filings must include the core documents of a collaboration, e.g. agreement documents, applications and contracts, as well as all matters and correspondence related to the case. For example emails, office files, text messages, phone memos and meeting minutes.
Every employee is responsible for ensuring that relevant documents and correspondence are filed in Workzone.
In general, managers have the overall responsibility for filing documentation, while employees have the daily responsibility.
