Add Graph Connector as a data source within a case

Once Graph Connectors and eDiscovery are enabled in your organization, the Graph Connector data source option is available in a case. Only the established and enabled connectors are available to the eDiscovery manager for inclusion in a case.

Collect Graph Connectors content

This content is available for search and collection after adding Graph Connectors content as a data source. Within data sources, select the Graph Connector content as a data source, use conditions such as date range, keywords, and more to search across the connected content to collect only the content of interest. Upon completion of the search, get statistics for the amount of content that contains hits to your search criteria, and add the search to the review set.

Review content

Once added to a review set, eDiscovery managers can review content from Graph Connectors to understand more about the content and work to assess if the information is critical and relevant to the case.

Export content

Once validated that the content added to review is the correct content, this content is then available for export from the review set. Select export options and submit the export job for the Connectors content to be exported from the review set.
