The Retention policies will be executed according to the scheduled details mentioned in the Data Retention Policy.
If you want to run the batch, you can click on the ‘Run Now’ button. This feature will be available on the ‘Record Detail’ page of the Data Retention Policy. When you click on the ‘Run Now’ button for a specific data retention record, the retention process will be initiated regardless of the scheduling time.
When the Retention Policy is executed, it will pick up the records which satisfy the filter criteria ‘Where Clause’ mentioned in the retention policy.
For example, if the ‘Where Clause’ “Ready_for_retention__c = true” is satisfied for the eight records, then a PrivSec request for retention will be created as shown below
