Add New Users to the System

This page details how to manually add users to the LegalHold system.

People vs. Users

People are added to the LegalHold application with the intention of adding them as recipients or attachments to a hold. People that are added to the Manage People module can be manually added or uploaded via a Comma-separated Values (CSV) upload process. 

Users are added to the LegalHold application with the intention of accessing the product to manage holds or the application. The application prevents users from logging in if they have inactive lookups or if the associated user has an inactive status.

Full name option

Legal Hold added the Full Name option in the people list filters to be able to find by the full name.

Before, LegalHold allowed people to find by first name or last name, and now to avoid the coincidences with common names Legal Hold has a filter or search by option with full name.

Filter options

The dropdown tab allows the users to filter people based on the following options:

  • First name
  • Last name
  • Full Name
  • Email
  • Employee Number/Id
  • Organization
  • Department
  • Status
  • Network ID
  • C level Executives

And the people list is sortable and searchable based on the column headers.

C Level executives

We have added a toggle named C Level executives on the People record; it’s required to include the C-Level Executives in the view of "Add People - Recipients" and "Recipient list" views. For additional information, please refer to Add recipients to a hold.
