Just a quick note to all you records management junkies out there. Here’s a question I’m seeing a lot of. “Can I write a CAML query to locate all of the documents that have been declared as in-place records?”
The answer is yes. It’s actually quite simple. There is a new field called “Declared Record” that holds the date on which an item was declared as a record. If that field is null, then the item was not declared. The only trick is that you have to use the internal field name, which is “_vti_ItemDeclaredRecord”.

So, there you have it. Easy as pie.
