Working with Advanced ECA searches

Last published : Apr 17, 2026
The Advanced Early Case Assessment (ECA) Search is a new type of search under the Managed Accounts node you can create for investigation purposes. The application creates this node when you create an Advance ECA search for the first time. You don't need to configure anything in the Arctera Insight Management Console to view this node under Managed Accounts.
Advanced ECA search is different from the on-going and standard search. In on-going and standard searches, you can specify certain criteria based on which the application fetches emails, collaboration messages, and files from archives. In case of on-going and standard searches, after creating a search, you cannot again filter the required records (emails, messages, and files) within the search result. However, in the Advanced ECA search, you can refine your search results based on several filter options. It helps reviewers to filter the records and view the results most easily.
In a single Advanced ECA search, the application can save maximum 250000 records each for emails, collaboration messages, and files. The total records the application can save is maximum 750000 in a single Advanced ECA search.
