Filtering the items in the Review pane

The search and filter options available in the Review pane provide several parameters to filter items for review.

To filter the items in the review pane

  1. In the left navigation pane, click Review.
  2. In the Department drop-down list, do the following steps:

    Note:

    The selections are persisted across all login sessions for the logged-in user.

    • In the Mode drop-down list, choose whether to perform a standard review of the items in the review set or an escalation review.

      Note:

      Escalation Review mode is available to escalation reviewers only. It lets these reviewers view and change review status of the items that other reviewers have escalated to them for further attention.

    • In the Items drop-down list, select a group of items you want to review.

      The following options are available:

      • Temporary Assignment: This option allows you to temporarily reserve a predefined number of unassigned items from the review set for your current session. These items are not permanently assigned to you, but while your session is active, other reviewers cannot access or review them.

        For example, if you log in and select Temporary Assignment with a limit of 200 unassigned items, you can review these items without permanently assigning them to yourself. While your session is active, other reviewers in the department cannot see or access these items. However, once you log out or end the session, any unmarked items become available again for other reviewers.

      • All Items: This option allows you to view all review items in the review set, including those assigned to other reviewers. However, using this option may lead to duplicate work if multiple reviewers mark the same items.

        For example, if you select All Items, you can view every item in the review set, including those assigned to other reviewers. However, if you mark these items, you may duplicate the work of others, leading to inconsistencies. To prevent this, use this option only for browsing these items and not reviewing them.

      • My Items: This option displays only when the Standard Review mode is selected. It does not appear when the Escalation mode is selected. When you click Apply, it shows the items that are explicitly assigned to you according to the review assignment criteria configured for the department. Refer to the sample image below.

        For example, if 30 out of 100 items collected via searches and any sampling method are assigned to you, only those 30 items will appear for you. You cannot view items assigned to other reviewers of the department.

  3. In the Advanced Filter drop-down list, specify the following if needed to filter review items.
    • In the Filter drop-down, do any of the following as required:
      • Choose the filter criteria from the default Preset options. By default, the following preset options are available:

        • All Unreviewed

        • Today's Unreviewed

        • All Unreviewed Exchange

        • All Unreviewed Instant Messaging

        • All Unreviewed Bloomberg

        • All Unreviewed Domino

        • All Messages

      • Expand the necessary facets and select the item classification options you want to apply.

        If you want to use the same facet settings frequently, you can save this setting as a filter preset option. In the Preset drop-down, select Custom, then click the + icon next to the drop-down arrow. In the Save preset as field, enter a unique name of the filter preset, and click OK.

        Upon successful addition, the newly saved filter preset appears in the Preset drop-down.

      The following table lists the available filter facets.

For example, if you are working on 18th Nov 2021, the last week dates are displayed as 8th Nov 2021 to 14th Nov 2021.
