Common features

✓ Retention changer: Have your business needs changed, and now you need to keep archived items for a different period of time than before? Do you need to delete sensitive archived data earlier? This new functionality allows customers to change the retention time settings for already archived items, making it possible to delete items from the archive sooner due to a shortened retention time. This option is supported by the following stores: Disk, Azure, Amazon S3.

NOTE: The Retention changer module requires an extra license. Please contact sales@tech-arrow.com to get a quote.

✓ Extended configuration auditing: From now on, no configuration changes will be hidden from the administrator’s eagle eyes. Configuration auditing logs all important changes and provides administrators with an overview. This feature also helps identify the reasons for unexpected software behavior, which is most commonly caused by configuration changes in the system.

EWS impersonation access: Microsoft 365 uses strict throttling policies to prevent system overloading. Disabling these settings can be requested through Microsoft support, but the process is long and often refused. The new impersonation access overcomes this limitation, as EWS requests are executed under the account of the mailbox owner. Thanks to this permission, archiving becomes a much faster process. The permission-granting process for impersonation access is also easier compared to delegation access, as the permission must be set globally only for the archive superuser.

Extended quick search in contentWEB: The extended quick search in contentWEB allows users to search not only in the currently selected folder, but also in its subfolders. This search experience is similar to what Microsoft Outlook and Windows Explorer provide, so customers will get accustomed to it very easily.
