How many tables and rules can be applied to each record series?

In the context of the Air Force Records Management Program, each record series can indeed have only one set of tables and rules applied to it. This structure is designed to ensure consistency in how records are managed, maintained, and disposed of. By having a single set of tables and rules for each record series, it simplifies the application of records management principles, making it clear which guidelines apply to which records.

Having multiple sets of tables or rules for the same record series could lead to confusion and inconsistency in implementation. It would complicate the records management process, making it difficult to ensure compliance with regulations and to maintain the integrity of records across various offices. Therefore, the framework is established such that only one set of guidelines applies to each record series, promoting streamlined and effective records management practices within the organization.
