Using the For Review (preview) filter query

After running analytics for the review set, you can use an automatically generated filter query (called For Review) that filters your review to exclude immaterial, duplicate, or noninclusive items. This leaves you with only the items that are representative, unique, and inclusive in the review set.

To apply the For Review - Unique items only (preview) filter query to a review set, select the Saved filter queries dropdown list, and then select [AutoGen] For Review - Unique items only (preview). Minimize the query details to view the results.

Here's the syntax for the For Review - Unique items only (preview) filter query:

(((FileClass="Email") AND (InclusiveType="InclusiveMinus" OR InclusiveType="Inclusive")) OR ((FileClass="Attachment") AND (UniqueInEmailSet="true")) OR ((FileClass="Document") AND (MarkAsRepresentative="Unique")) OR (FileClass="Conversations"))

The following list describes the result of the filter query in terms of what content is displayed after you apply it to the review set.

  • Email: Displays items that are marked as Inclusive or InclusiveMinus. An inclusive item is the final message in an email thread. It contains all previous content in the email thread. An inclusive minus it contains one or more attachments associated with the specific message in the email thread. A reviewer can use the inclusive minus value to determine which specific messages in the email thread have associated attachments.
  • Attachments: Filters out duplicate attachments in the same Email Set. Only attachments that are unique in an email thread are displayed.
  • Documents and other: Filters out duplicate documents. Only documents that are unique in the review set are displayed.
  • Teams conversations: All Teams (and Viva Engage) conversations in the review set are displayed.

Using the Potentially Immaterial Items filter query

After running analytics for the review set, you can use an automatically generated filter query (called Potentially Immaterial Items) that filters your review to exclude immaterial items. This leaves you with only the items that are representative and inclusive in the review set.

To apply the Potentially Immaterial Items filter query to a review set, select the Saved filter queries dropdown list, and then select [AutoGen] Potentially Immaterial Items. Minimize the query details to view the results.
