Introducing eDiscovery/Legal Hold

eDiscovery in MangoApps provides a tool that organizations can use to search, place a hold and export content. This content includes posts, updates, messages, chats, files and questions. The holds can be preserved as along as the admins need and the domain retention time-limits do not impact the holds. With eDiscovery, MangoApps allows organisations to:

  • Search and place a hold for an employee
  • Search and place a hold on content where a specific keyword / keywords are used

Unlimited number of holds can be placed and exported. The export format is in a zip format which consists of files (non-media files) and content in PDF format. Key features include

  • Create a hold is a 3 step process
  • Date range is required to create a hold.
  • Either a user or set of keywords is required to a create a hold
  • When multiple keywords are entered then any of keywords if matched will be in the hold
  • When any content (post/update/question/message/chat/file) is matched comments/replies on it are automatically included in the exported hold
  • For matching posts & files the insights are also included in the exported hold. Insights include who viewed it, how many views and other meta data of the matched post/file
  • Matching chats including private chat, team chat and ad-hoc chat are included in the exported hold
  • Matching private messages are private are included in the exported hold
  • Matching posts, updates, files, questions & chats from secret teams will also be included in the exported hold
