Document ingestion
Note: Billing for Data Breach Response will begin when documents are ingested using the steps below.
After the Data Breach Response application is installed into your workspace, documents will need to be ingested before reviewing results. To ingest documents you will need to create a saved search containing all documents to send to Data Breach Response and create an ingestion job.
Prerequisites
Before ingesting documents, you must meet the following prerequisites:
- Ingestion requires a saved search as input. We recommend creating a list in Relativity containing the documents and generating a saved search from the list. For more information, see Saved search and Lists.
Creating a new ingestion job
To create a new ingestion job:
- Navigate to the Data Breach Response and Personal Information Application.
- Click the Jobs tab.
- Click Add Documents.
- Enter a Name for the Job.
- Select the Saved Search containing all documents to send to Data Breach Response.
- Select Data Settings. We recommend using Default if you have no specialized requirements.
- Click Create DBR Job.
- Once you create the job, the ingestion job will start automatically.
It can take several minutes to hours to complete depending on how large the data set is. You can track your job's progress in the Jobs tab.
See Cost explorer for more details about the information that will be displayed. See Understanding cost in Relativity for information about how costs are calculated.
Data Breach Response ingests documents in real time as processing completes. You can see the progress of the job in the Job Details view. The same view will also show the number of documents, Job ID, and success/failure completions in real time. You do not need to stay on this page for the job to complete.
Job Failures
If you encounter job failures, please check the failure reasons. If you need to contact support, please include the Job ID in your support ticket for faster resolution.
Jobs page
The Jobs page will show you if the job as a whole completed or failed. There are three possible outcomes:
- Completed — a job that has completed with zero failed documents will say completed.
- Completed with failures — the job run was successful but there are some failed documents within the job. Open the Job Details page to investigate those failures at the document level.
- Failed — the job as a whole has failed. You will need to rerun the job or contact support to proceed with your work.
Job Details page
The Job Details page will show failures on a document level. Look at the message column to see why a given document has failed.
