1. What's Coming
Discovery Attender 3.8
Version 3.8 of Discovery Attender has taken customer feedback and turned it into features focused on
adding search options, improving result management and enhancing the PreSearch Tool. Read below
for more details on the planned additions that will be found in our next version.
Searching
Office 365
The next version includes the ability to directly search Mailboxes and Online Archives in Microsoft's cloud
based Office 365 deployments. Users have the choice of direct access (mailbox name with password), or
connection through impersonated accounts. These data stores will be treated just like any other mail
store for searching, indexing, copying or opening results. Messages and attachments are automatically
cached for easier post-search processing.
Pause Search
This very popular request has been fulfilled in version 3.8. Users will have the option to stop a search
that is currently running and restart it at a later time without losing any of the collected data.
Journaled Messages
Discovery Attender has always had the ability to search the envelope journal messages. This new feature
gives users the choice to search (and export) the original message as the primary result instead of the
envelope journal report.
EML as Email
Loose messages that are in .eml format will be searched as email. Previous versions of Discovery
Attender could search these items as files (i.e. with keyword criteria), but 3.8 will include options to filter
by addresses, dates, attachments and other email specific criteria.
Results & Reporting
Preview Pane
A huge sigh of relief can be heard by anyone who reviews results in Discovery Attender. No longer will it
be necessary to open a result for review. A preview pane has been integrated into the results view
rendering all text with hit highlighting. The view is optional, so it can be turned off when not reviewing
data.
Auto-Assign Custodians
Version 3.8 introduces a feature that scans metadata fields using selected properties (address, alias,
name, etc.) to automatically assign custodians to results. The exports have also been improved to
eliminate unnecessary prompts.

2. What's Coming
Discovery Attender 3.8
Container Item Improvements
By default Discovery Attender exports the entire contents of a container file (e.g. .zip, .rar, .tar) when any
individual items found inside that file match the search criteria. This new feature allows users to
selectively export the individual file (e.g. .doc, .xls, .pdf, etc.) that matches the criteria rather than the
entire source container file.
Export Items by Keyword
This option will allow users to export items by individual keyword. Users have the option to create a PST
per keyword, a new folder within the PST for each keyword, or file folders per keyword.
New Views
Several new views have been added to improve visibility of data and achieve more precise reporting.
Original Expression View
When using grouping (i.e. <> with search expression), a new chart and view will be available that shows
the result statistics by original source expression. This is a complement to the existing branch and leaf
views and should prove quite popular for reporting purposes.
Container Item View
This view shows all individual items that were found in containers (e.g. .zip, .rar, etc.). Users can see the
metadata, whether the file matched the criteria or not, and where the individual files were exported.
File Extension View
Another view has been added to show file and attachment results grouped by their file extension. This
view will include a summary at the root level.
PreSearch Tool
Webmail (IMAP) to PST
This option will allow email sources with IMAP capability to be exported to a PST file. Web mail accounts
such as Gmail, Hotmail, and many other mail sources support the IMAP protocol. To utilize this
capability, valid credentials are required to access the accounts.
Export Office 365 to PST or EML
Discovery Attender's PreSearch tool now accesses the Microsoft's Office 365 platform. Users will have
the option to export mailboxes to PST files, or individual EML files.
