More details from customer call:

When running a consignment, it takes a really long time and often just one document error “breaks the whole process”. Want this resolved. 

The customer has suggested having the “examine” rule checking phase of the consignment be running in the background, such that when the disposal happens these checks have already occurred. I explained that the checks need to comply at the point in time the disposal is run, otherwise something might have changed and the check would no longer pass. They suggested then having a way of “freezing” (like legal hold) the properties that get checked, and running the check when document falls under consignment, such that it doesn’t have to run at the time the consignment disposal is run. 

Another suggestion I had to fix this is breaking large consignments up into batches, so that one error does not mean the whole thing has to start again or be paused, and to alleviate performance issues. 

The customer would also like to change some of the check or “examine” criteria. Particularly, in their case since all metadata is reflected at container level, they don’t see a need for a document level check, and want to be able to disable this.
