Summary

Privileged phrases let you configure words or phrases that are excluded from message search results. You manage them on the Privileged phrases tab under Search exclusions, where each phrase has a name, a value, an optional platform scope, and a content scope that controls whether the subject, body, or both are checked.

Prerequisites

  • Access to MirrorWeb Insight

  • Privileged write permission to add phrases; privileged delete permission to remove them

NOTE: The Privileged phrases tab may not be visible to all organisations — it needs to be enabled for your organisation, and may still be rolling out.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Open the Privileged phrases tab

Go to Search exclusions and select the Privileged phrases tab. The section heading reads Privileged Phrases with the subtitle "Configure privileged phrases to be excluded from message search results".

Step 5: Manage existing phrases

The phrase appears in a table with columns Name, Phrase, Content scope, and Created. Use the Search by name or phrase value... box and sort dropdown to find phrases. Each row has an edit (pencil) and delete (trash) action. Deleting prompts "Are you sure you want to delete ...? You cannot undo this action."

Notes

IMPORTANT: Privileged marker matching is evaluated at ingest only and is not retroactive; it affects future messages.
