SharePoint 2013 introduces a new type of site, the
eDiscovery Center. An eDiscovery Center is a single site that can be
used to organize your discovery and legal-hold activities. To work with
legal holds and discovery queries, you must create at least one
eDiscovery Center. This site is used to track one or many cases, which
represent individual legal or regulatory actions. In this task, we will
walk through the process of creating an initial eDiscovery Center in
SharePoint 2013.
Create an eDiscovery Center
-
From the Admin Center for your Office 365 instance, at the right end of the toolbar, click the Admin menu.
-
On the menu that appears, click SharePoint.
-
In the SharePoint Admin Center, on the ribbon, click the Site Collection tab, and then click New.
-
On the menu that appears, click Private Site Collection.
Tip
To create a new site collection, you will require administrative
access to your Office 365 Admin Center or to your Central
Administration site. If you do not have this access, consult with your
administrative personnel for this step.
Tip
You can choose to create more than one eDiscovery Center in the
event that you want to keep separate regulatory groups from seeing one
another’s information.
-
On the New Site Collection page, enter a title for the eDiscovery
Center, a URL that will be used to access the site under your main URL,
and a language for the new site.
-
Click the Enterprise tab.
-
Select eDiscovery Center.
-
Specify the appropriate Time Zone.
-
Choose the site administrator who will have administrator rights to the site.
-
Select your storage quota and server resource options.
-
Click OK.
Tip
Check with your IT personnel if you have questions
regarding total storage or server resources required for this site.
They should have information based upon typical usages and total site
sizes.
