Features
Feature: When a legal hold is released or multiple custodians are released from a hold, two new toggles can be enabled to send notifications to legal staff and/or data stewards that the custodians have been released from the legal hold.
Tracking Code: LH-7587
Additional Detail: This feature aids legal staff and/or data stewards in the data collection process by notifying them when a legal hold is no longer in place or custodians are no longer required to preserve data on a legal hold. For legal staff, the list of custodians will be included on the notification email if the option to add the recipient list on carbon copy emails is enabled (global option). For data stewards, the list of custodians will be included if the option to view recipients for data stewards is enabled (per hold option).
Feature: During the hold creation process, a new feature has been added to the Add Recipients step to upload the recipients via a Comma-separated Values (CSV) file.
Tracking Code: LH-6414
Additional Detail: The CSV file must contain the employee ID or the email address of an existing person in LegalHold. Multiple files can be uploaded, and this feature is available after a hold has been sent to upload additional recipients. See Add Recipients by CSV Upload for more information.
Feature: A new system setting is available to specify the date format if it is different from the default mm-dd-yy, where mm is month, dd is day, and yy is year.
Tracking Code: LH-7272
Additional Detail: The date format can be changed for all reports and pages in LegalHold using this option.
Feature: People can now be added via a comma-delimited file through the Groups module.
Tracking Code: LH-8295
Additional Detail: See Create or Edit Groups for more information.
Feature: The silent custodians feature has been enhanced. All silent custodians no longer appear in reports or in tile view as recipients without responses, but their own category in LegalHold.
Tracking Code: LH-6000, LH-7657
Additional Detail: See Add Silent Custodians to a Hold for more information.
Feature: For People Import via the scheduled task, a new option has been added to specify a pipe-delimited file instead of a comma-delimited file. In addition, when using PGP encryption/decryption for the People Import, the entire CSV file is now encrypted.
Tracking Code: LH-7998, LH-7999
Additional Detail: See People Import Setup for more information.
