Requesting Message Data Export for Desktop and Web in Glip for AT&T Office@Hand App
Article #67859

The purpose of this article is to provide information on how Administrators can request data exports of their company’s message history in the RingCentral Glip for AT&T Office@Hand App.

Message data exports is a feature specifically built for companies and regulated industries, such as financial services, with compliance requirements for using electronic communication in the workplace. This feature can also help preserve business communications for legal discovery or internal review.

The message data export feature in the Glip for AT&T Office@Hand brings over all of the compliance export’s features like chats, events, files, guests, members, and posts, but allows you to request message histories of only a selection of teams or users. Admins can export the history of their entire account or the history of a team or user.

2. Click the Administration tab in the left pane.
3. Under Message data export, ensure the Enable message data export toggle is set to on.
