Why Search IDs matter #
Every search generates a Search ID. This should be retained together with your internal reference or case number.
Why this is important #
- It supports audit readiness
- It helps with support follow-up
- It makes it easier to trace what was done and why
- It helps when a report is no longer directly viewable in the portal
Viewability reminder #
Standard search reports may not remain viewable in the portal indefinitely. In the user guide, older reports are highlighted as subject to viewability limits, with 72-hour viewability noted as an important rule for recent report access.
Document Request reports are treated differently and can remain available after upload.
Important: Use export options where needed and keep your own clean internal records.
