Creating cases
The eDiscovery Administrators can create cases and select which custodians to associate with the case. Once a case is created, all items (emails, collaboration messages, and files) for the case can be placed on legal hold to ensure that the items are retained.

- Click Add Case.
The Add New Case dialog box appears.
- Under Case Status, specify the following details:
