Sharepoint 2013 : Working with eDiscovery cases

After you have a working SharePoint 2013 eDiscovery Center, you are able to create and manage cases that represent specific legal or regulatory investigation. Each case is designed to represent a single investigation and can contain all of the queries and holds encountered during the investigation. Because each case is represented by a separate subsite under the eDiscovery Center, you have independent access control for each of these cases.

Create an eDiscovery case

1. Navigate to your eDiscovery Center and click Create New Case.

   

   Caution

   Users within the eDiscovery Center have widespread access to content as well as data access (for example, they can restrict deletion on widespread amounts of content). You should limit access to eDiscovery Centers and Cases to the appropriate regulatory personnel.

2. On the New SharePoint Site page, enter a title and description for the case.

3. Enter a URL for the site, relative to the eDiscovery Center.

4. Choose a language for your case.

5. Choose user permissions for the case.

6. Select navigation options for the site.

7. Click Create.

   

Access existing cases

1. Navigate to your eDiscovery Center and then, on the Quick Launch bar, click the Cases link.

   

2. Click the case that you want to access.
