Release Notes - Version 6.3
For the last few years, you’ve known us as Netmail—a name which reflected our collective passion for email governance: security, archiving, encryption, discovery, storage, attachment management, & more. Over the last 18 months, we’ve expanded our solution set well beyond email and after significant customer and partner feedback, we realized that the Netmail name was no longer representative of our technology stack. So as we continue to expand to address Information Governance more broadly, we have changed our name to NetGovern.
With this release, we introduce the new NetGovern branding to the product. We have chosen an entire new color scheme for our UI; the color is called Ultra Violet which is Pantone’s color of the year.
Here are the main changes you'll see:
Archive Access Portal: The Netmail Search web page is now NetGovern Search.
Login: If you are a case manager or auditor, after logging in you are usually prompted for the role in which you want to proceed. This prompt has now changed to be graphical, as opposed to a pick-list style—see Starting NetGovern Search.
If you don't have any additional roles assigned to your account, you will be automatically directed to your own archives as before.
Outlook Add-in: Thematic changes also extend to the end user software. If your organization has deployed the Outlook Add-in and it is updated to version 6.3, end users will receive new NetGovern graphics to match the back-end.
Auto-Save: You can enable Auto-Save to automatically save search criteria, tags, and preferences—see Using Auto-Save.
Role-Based Access: After logging in to NetGovern Search, various tools and workflows are now available to users depending on their role in your organization. So now when a user on your legal team logs in, they will have access to all the eDiscovery tools; when a user on your compliance or security team logs in, they will have all the compliance, audit, and retraction tools at their fingertips—see Roles in .
Manager Rights: As the manager, you can grant manager rights to a on your team—see Granting Rights.
Document Preview for Microsoft Office: You can now view documents directly in your browser—see Previewing Documents.
- Support for Over 600 File Formats: This includes all versions of Microsoft Office, Corel, AutoCAD, Adobe, and more.
- Continuous Scrolling: Enjoy infinite scrolling just like in your mailbox in Microsoft Outlook. This replaces pagination in NetGovern Search.
- Next and Previous Buttons: Buttons were added to the message preview in NetGovern Search to allow for scrolling through previews—see How to Scroll Through Previews.
Date and Time Format: You can change the date and time format to correspond to the format your organization uses most frequently—see Changing the Date Format and Changing the Time Format.
- When exporting, you can exclude items that have specific tags—see Exporting.
- In the Outlook Addin, you can disable the Federated Search button.
- In Advanced Search, you can now search documents by permissions as well as a specific location (path)—see .
- Generate the user list from AD instead of Office 365/Exchange for document access only.
- We put in place a framework for custom branding our product—see White Labeling.
The release of version 6.3 brings further definition of the role you play in eDiscovery or compliance. As soon as you log in, you choose which application to use in NetGovern Search.
