Which aspect of records is assessed during the records inventory?

During a records inventory, one of the primary focuses is on the categories of records and their descriptions. This process involves identifying various types of records held by the municipality, understanding their functions, and documenting their classifications. By categorizing records, the municipality can better manage them, ensuring that they are organized in a way that facilitates access, compliance, and retention.

The detailed descriptions associated with each category also help in establishing how each record fits into the overall record-keeping system. This information is crucial for developing effective record management policies, knowing what needs to be preserved or disposed of according to legal requirements, and improving operational efficiency.

While assessing the condition of records, potential public interest, and access frequency of each record are important aspects of overall record management, they are not the primary focus of the records inventory process. The inventory itself is more concerned with categorizing and describing records to establish a clear inventory of what is held, rather than evaluating their condition or potential usage.
