Custodian portal (admin)
As an admin, you must understand the requirements to display the Custodian Portal. This is especially important when importing legal hold data. For more information, see Importing hold data to RelativityOne.
You must also understand what the custodian sees in the Custodian Portal. There are different states, or sections, in the portal. Each state must meet certain conditions for it to be visible to custodians. For more information, see Portal states.
Portal states
Conditions need to be met before a Legal Hold project will display in the different portal states, or sections. The following are the sections of the custodian portal:
For each state, Relativity will display a project to the user in the portal if all the conditions are met.
Active holds
In the Active Holds section, you can view the following fields:
- Hold Name (Project Load File)—this is the name of the project.
- Communication (Communication Load File)—this is the name of the communication sent with the hold.
- Received (Message Load File)—this is the date that the hold was sent.
You can find Active Holds where the Acknowledgement Required field is set to Yes in this section.
For holds to appear in the Active Holds section, the projects must meet the following criteria:
You must require an acknowledgement. Active projects meeting the following criteria will not be displayed here if an acknowledgement is not required.
