Selecting the archives in which to search

You can customize the list of Enterprise Vault archives in which Discovery Accelerator searches for items. For example, there may be archives that you want to exclude from any searches because they contain irrelevant material.

As well as setting the default, global list of archives, which are available to the searches that you conduct in any case, you can customize the searchable archives for individual cases.

You must have the application permission Manage Archives to set the global list of archives, and the case permission Manage Archives to set a case-level archive list.

Note:

If you have the case-level permission Select Archives in Search, you can also choose specific archives in which to search when you define the criteria for a search. Restricting the scope of a search can greatly reduce the time that it takes to complete, especially if the case-level archive list contains many thousands of archives.

To select the archives in which to search

  1. Do one of the following:

    • To set the default list of archives that are available to all cases, click the Application tab in the Discovery Accelerator client, and then click the Archives tab.

    • To set the list of archives in which to search for one case only, click the Cases tab and then click the required case in the left pane. Then click the Archives tab.

      If Discovery Accelerator lists a lot of cases, you can filter the list with the fields at the top of the pane. As well as filtering the cases by name, you can choose whether to list any research folders that are associated with them.

  2. Choose the archives in which to conduct searches.

    Note:

    When many archives match the current selection and filter criteria, Discovery Accelerator may take some time to list them all. In these circumstances, Discovery Accelerator displays a prompt that advises you to change the criteria in order to reduce the number of listed archives. You can either do this or click Show All Archives to list all the archives. To stop the prompt from appearing each time you return to this pane during the current session, select Don't show again in this session before you click Show All Archives.

    By default, Discovery Accelerator displays the prompt when more than 50,000 archives match the current criteria. To change this threshold, set the configuration option called "Display warning in Archives pane when number of archives to load exceeds this threshold".

    Use the following techniques to include or exclude archives:

    • If you are setting the application-wide list of archives that are available to all cases, and you want to hide certain vault stores from case administrators, select Restrict which vault stores are available to all cases. Then, in the Enabled column of the vault store list, select the vault stores that you want to make visible and searchable. When a case administrator sets the list of searchable archives for a case, only those archives that are in enabled vault stores are available for selection.

      If you restrict a vault store and then later remove the restriction, the vault store automatically becomes available to existing cases, where it is included in new searches.

    • If you want to set the list of archives in which to search for one case only, select Customize searchable archives for this case.

    • Select or clear a vault store at the left to include its archives in searches or exclude them from searches.

    • Click a vault store at the left to list the associated archives at the right. Then select or clear the archives to include or exclude them.

      The Status column shows whether each archive has been copied, moved, or deleted as part of a Move Archive operation by the Enterprise Vault administrator.

      If Discovery Accelerator lists a large number of archives, you can filter the list with the fields at the top of the right pane.

    • Select or clear the Archive Name box at the top of the right pane to include or exclude all the available archives.

  3. Click Save.
