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 lets you reserve the specified number of items in the review set. Other reviewers cannot see these items until you have finished work on them.

      • All Items: This option lets you view all the items in the review set, even if they have been assigned to other reviewers. You may duplicate the work of other reviewers if you use this option. Therefore, we recommend that you select this option only if there are no other reviewers working alongside you, or you want to browse the items without marking them.

  3. In the Filter drop-down list, select the facets (item classification options) you want to apply.

    Note:

    Besides the regular filter facets, the application provides additional filters, namely Filter on Author/Domain and Filter on Subject and Filter on Item ID. You can use these options to filter review items.

    • Filter on Author/Domain - This field is applicable for searching emails and collaboration messages for a specific user or email domain. Enter a full or a partial email domain that you want to search. For example, gmail, gmail.com, or @gmail.com. The application searches items from all users belonging to the specified domain.

      Note:

      While providing input for this filter, do not enter multiple authors or domains, a semicolon (;), or a string of two hyphen marks (--).

    If you frequently use the same facet settings to filter the items in the Review pane, you can save them as a preset. In addition to the custom presets, you can use the default predefined presets, such as All Unreviewed, Today's Unreviewed, All Unreviewed Exchange, All Unreviewed Instant Messaging, All Unreviewed Bloomberg, All Unreviewed Domino, and All messages. You can then quickly apply the settings by selecting the preset from the Preset drop-down list.

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