Vaultastic Application Interface

 

The Vaultastic Application Interface

  • The Vaultastic Application is accessible to users logging into Vaultastic using a Vault ID.
  • On login, the first app you will see is the eDiscovery app. This application is used to search through and work on mail in the Active Store.
  • The Vaultastic Application is divided into three panes. The leftmost pane is the Application Switch. All the applications in Vaultastic are accessible from the Application Switch. If you have admin rights, you will see the icons for admin apps such as Admin Panel, Dashboard, and the Open Storage App. Clicking on any icon will launch the app in a separate tab.
  • The middle pane of the eDiscovery application is where you will see the search results. The controls on the top of the pane help you search for mail.  
  • The rightmost pane shows the content of the selected mail.

Using the eDiscovery application to search on the Active Store

Use the Quick Keyword Search

  • To search through the vaults, you can use the Quick Keyword Search box.
  • The Quick Keyword Search box is on the top of the middle pane.  
  • To see all mail, enter an asterisk (*) and press the Enter key. The search results are shown with the latest mail on top.
  • To search for mail sent or received by any email id, enter the email id and press Enter.
  • To search for a keyword or a phrase within the subject or the attachment name, enter the text in the Quick Search box and press Enter. Phrases have to be enclosed in double quotes.

Use Saved or Advance Searches

  • If you have to repeatedly look for specific patterns or want to perform an advanced search with a combination of search elements, use the Saved Search interface.
  • You can access the Saved Search interface by clicking on the down arrow next to the Quick Search edit box in the middle pane. Searches saved will be listed under the Saved Searches tab. You can add a new search by clicking the + icon next to the Quick Search edit box.

Defining or updating a saved query

  • To update an existing query, hover over a saved search in the list. From the options menu depicted by three vertical dots, select Update Search.
  • To create a new Saved Search Query, click on New Search.    
  • A saved search query consists of the following fields:
  • Email ID
    • To search for an email id in the From or To/CC fields of a mail, use the Email ID control. Enter a full email id or give only the user id or domain.  You can search for more than one email id at a time. 
    • For example, if you entered 'john' and 'jane' as the ids to search for, then the search will be for 'john' OR 'jane' in any of the email fields - From/To/CC. 
  • Sender
    • When you want to search for email id only in the From field of any email, use the Sender control. You can specify the full email id or only the user id or only the domain.  You can specify more than one ID in the Sender control. 
    • For example, if you entered 'john' and 'jane' as the ids to search, then the search will be for 'john' OR 'jane' in the From field of the email.
  • Recipients
    • When you want to search for email IDs only in the To/CC fields of any email, use the Recipients control. You can specify the full email id or only the user id or only the domain.  You can specify more than one ID in the Recipients control.
    • To search for mail having ALL the ids in any of the recipients' fields, select the AND operator. To search for mail having ANY of the values in the recipients' field, select the OR operator.
    • To give complex queries, such as looking for all mail sent to 'john' BUT NOT 'jane', use the Query Editor accessible from the pencil icon next to the Recipients control.
  • Keyword Search Scope
    • Click on one or more checkboxes (Subject, Body, Attachment) to narrow down the search. By default, none of them are selected and the keyword search scope will include the Subject, Body, and attachment name.
  • Keywords
    • To search for keywords in the Subject, Body, or the name of the attachment, use the Keywords control. You can specify words or phrases. Phrases must be enclosed in double-quotes.
    • You can specify more than one keyword/phrase. The system will search for all the keywords and phrases, using the operator selected. For example, if you entered "Hello" and "World" as the keywords and the operator was 'OR', then the system will search for the emails having either of the keywords present in the selected fields. If you entered "Hello" and "World" as the keywords and the operator was 'AND', then the system will search for the emails having BOTH the keywords present in the selected fields.
    • To give complex queries, such as looking for all mail having the keyword 'Hello' BUT NOT 'World', use the Query Editor accessible from the pencil icon next to the Keywords control.
  • Samples for the Query Editor 
Example of a custom query to search for keywords only in the Subject
To locate a mail having the keyword Contract in the subject, write a query as follows
(subject:"Contract" OR subject:"contract" OR subject:"CONTRACT")


Example of a custom query to search for keywords only in the body of the mail
To locate a mail having the keyword Contract in the body, write a query as follows
(body:"Contract" OR body:"contract" OR body:"CONTRACT")


General Example of a custom query:
To locate a mail received by John or Meera but not by Mark, write a query as follows.
(“john@domain.com” OR “meera@domain.com”) NOT (“mark@domain.com”)


  • Note
    • The application does not validate queries submitted from the Query Editor tab.
    • Queries submitted from the Query Editor tab have to be updated from the same tab.
    • Recipient id or Recipient name should be enclosed in the double-quotes.
    • Query combining operators should be written in capital letters
    • Special characters + – && || ! ( ) { } [ ] ^ ” ~ * ? : \ entered in the keyword are escaped by the tool
    • When a query contains Stop words, the result will be generated by substituting the given Stop word with all other stop words. Example: If the query has a “quick and free” phrase, then the Stop word “and” will be substituted with all the other Stop words during the search.
    • So any text with phrases such as “quick or free”, “quick is free” etc will also appear in the search results.
    • The list of English stop words are: a, an, and, are, as, at, be, but, by, for, if, in, into, is, it, no, not, of, on, or, such, that, the, their, then, there, these, they, this, to, was, will, with

    • To specify the date range, you can
      • Select one of the predefined date ranges in the drop-down list OR
      • Give the range in From Date and To Date fields.
  • Saving the changes
