Configure Production Shield

Production Shield prevents specified documents from being inadvertently included in a production output. A saved public search, which can be created beforehand or when you configure Production Shield, is used to identify the documents that should not be produced. The search is often for documents that are tagged or redacted in a certain way, but any search can be used.

If a production job contains documents that are protected by Production Shield, the job can continue without those documents, or you can cancel the job and select a different set of documents or modify Production Shield if appropriate.

The following figure shows the Production Shield tab in the Edit Case wizard:

Before configuring Production Shield, take one of the following actions:

If family documents should be excluded from productions, select the Include Entire Family option.

NOTE: When this option is selected, family documents will be excluded whether or not the “Family” option is set as part of the saved search selected or defined in the following step.

The definition of the search appears in the Search Criteria area below the Saved Search selection list. Ensure this is the needed search.
