Allocating review items to reviewers

In a department, designated reviewers are responsible for reviewing items such as emails, collaboration messages, and attachments. When a search is executed, Veritas Surveillance filters items based on the defined search criteria.

For example, if a search retrieves 100 items and there are 5 reviewers, these items need to be allocated among them for review. The application provides two allocation options:

Equal distribution - Items are divided equally among all assigned reviewers.
Percentage-based allocation - Specific reviewers receive a defined percentage of the total items. If the total number of retrieved items is odd, one reviewer may receive a slightly higher allocation.

This procedure ensures that reviewers receive the required items for review, either as a percentage or a specific number of items, enabling efficient distribution of review tasks. However, you must have the Department Admin role to perform this task.

To allocate review items to reviewers in a department

In the left navigation pane, click Departments.
Search for and select the department to which you want to allocate review items to reviewers.
Note:
Veritas Surveillance lists all departments. You can use the filtering options to search the required department. Options include filtering by department name, exception employees, and reviewers associated with the department.
Access the Reviewer Assignment tab.
To allocate review items based on percentage, select the Configuration tab.
The list of department reviewers and their allocated percentage of review items (as defined in the search) is displayed.
Click Edit to modify the percentage of items for the provided users.
Select any of the following allocation method as needed:
- Assign equally to all reviewers - Distribute items equally among all assigned reviewers.
- Custom Assignment - Distribute items by assigning a defined percentage to specific reviewers. When this option is selected, the values in the Percentage Allocation column become enabled for modification. Adjust the values as needed.
  If the total number of retrieved items is odd, one reviewer may receive a slightly higher allocation.
Click Save.
The allocation percentages per reviewer is displayed on the Configuration tab. If the total allocated percentage is less than or exceeds 100%, the application prompts you to adjust it to 100%. Adjust the percentage allocation to 100% to save the modification.
(Optional) If the changes do not appear, click Refresh to update the page.
To allocate items based on the number of items, select the Assignment tab.
Select the reviewer whose assigned item count you want to modify, then click the Edit icon in the same row.
Enter the new value and repeat the process for other reviewers as needed, and click Save to apply the changes.
(Optional) If the changes do not appear, click Refresh to update the page.
