Online Retention and Disposal Application (ORDA)

ORDA is a web-based system for drafting your Disposal Schedule. Through ORDA, you can draft (or import) your disposal schedule, export your disposal schedule in different formats, and search across other authorised Disposal Schedules.

You have several resources available when using ORDA, including the online ‘help’ tab within ORDA, the ORDA Quick Tips library, the ORDA user manual, and the reviewer assigned to their schedule development project.

About ORDA Quick Tips Library

The ORDA Quick Tips Library is a series of ‘how to’ documents designed to provide staged instruction to staff and consultants responsible for developing Disposal Schedules through ORDA.

These instructional documents are arranged in stages, to step you through the development process. There are six stages that replicate the project workflow:

  • Preparation
  • Access
  • Development and review
  • Decision making
  • Searching
  • Collaboration

There is also an additional section on troubleshooting and assistance available.
