What is being released?

With this release, you can:Search all groups at once - this enhancement enables compliance administrators to easily find messages quickly where users may not be listed otherwise. It also saves time in the eDiscovery process by searching all groups at the same time, instead of searching by each group individually.

This displays messages status (flagged, viewed, reviewed, not reviewed, escalated, additional review, compliant and not compliant). This search enables customers in regulated industries to easily prove they adhere to compliance regulators (i.e., FINRA and SEC). Osterman Research Report: Key Requirements for Backup and Recovery Se
