About Compliance Accelerator desktop application-specific updates

Before the 15.0 release, the Discovery Accelerator desktop application helped organizations perform cost-effective supervisory reviews of employee communications, a requirement for regulatory compliance. The role assigned to a Discovery Accelerator desktop application user determined the features they could access. Administrators could manage and customize the application, while reviewers could review the items, add marks and comments to the items they reviewed.

However, during the 15.0 release, the Discovery Accelerator desktop application was entirely replaced by the Veritas Surveillance web client. For more information,

In the 15.1 release, the Discovery Accelerator desktop application was reinstated with limited functionalities. There is no Reviewer role and functionalities anymore. The Discovery Accelerator administrators can still use the application. Under the Configuration tab, only a few functionalities are retained, allowing administrators to configure certain feature settings.

Note:

If you do not have administrator permissions, contact your system administrator.

This guide explains the functionalities that administrators can still perform using the Discovery Accelerator desktop application.
