candidates are considered in violation of data retention policies in ashby if they violate an enabled rule and they aren’t passing another enabled rule for example a candidate that has an inactivity date in the past (and is thus violating an inactivity based retention rule), is not in violation if they have submitted consent a candidate who has not submitted consent (and is thus violating a consent based retention rule) is not in violation if they have an inactivity date set in the future (by an inactivity based rule) this allows for you to flexibly combine the two types of rules to have a rule keep a candidate out of violation, even if they violate a different rule candidates additionally are never in violation while they have an application in an active stage what fields are available for data compliance rule reporting in ashby?
