Review Process

What is the review process & how does it work?

The review process is used for companies to monitor emails and be sure that companywide all compliance policies are being maintained.


The review process uses 3 main tags which are "Marked for Review", "Marked for Deletion", and "Reviewed". Any email that is marked by a user for review will then have the "Marked for Review" tag added to it. If it is then reviewed and a user marks it as reviewed, it will then have the "Reviewed" tag added to it.

    • Take note that this process can take time to be completed.
    • The review process you have just created will always be added to the top of the list on the review process page with the same name as the eDiscovery saved search.

The following chart will explain what each option is used for:

  • Used to view the criteria that was used to set up the initial eDiscovery search
  • Used to grant permission to someone with the limited reviewer role to review that specific review.
  • Used to view all the emails within a review, all of the emails still marked to be reviewed, or to view all emails which have been reviewed.
  • Used to mark all emails in the review as reviewed or mark them all to be reviewed. 
  • Used to add a retention policy to emails included in the review.
  • Used to add a legal hold to emails within the review.
  • Used to remove all of the reviewed or marked for review tags from the emails contained in the review. This will delete the review from the review process page.
