Getting started in Relativity aiR (RelativityOne)

RelativityOne is now Relativity aiR. References to Relativity aiR may still appear in this documentation, in the product, and in other sources such as marketing materials, published content, and commercial or legal agreements. Both names refer to the same product/feature. For more details, see RelativityOne Is Now Relativity aiR.

Welcome to Relativity aiR. Before you start reviewing documents, Relativity aiR requires you to complete setup tasks. If you're a Relativity aiR system admin, review the information below and follow the required procedures to get started.

Transferring data to Relativity aiR

Before transferring data to Relativity aiR,

  • Review the Data migration topic to understand the various options for data migration to the cloud that exist for our new Relativity aiR customers.
  • Review the Data transfer topic for an overview of the Data Transfer tools you have access to.

Reviewers generally work within workspaces, while system admins usually work both within workspaces and from within the admin area, Home button.

The following will help familiarize you with the Review Interface.

For system admins, you can use these landing pages to explore different applications within Relativity aiR.

Relativity aiR downtime windows

The advantage to Relativity aiR is that we maintain and upgrade your software to ensure that your business operations in Relativity aiR run smoothly. It also makes sure that you always have access to the latest features and defect fixes. We require regular downtime windows to do this, typically during non-business hours. See Relativity aiR maintenance downtime windows for more information on this schedule.

Session idle time limits

Relativity times out user sessions if the screen remains idle for a period of time. The session idle time in Relativity aiR Commercial is set to 60 minutes. The session idle time in Relativity aiR Government is set to 15 minutes. This value is set to 15 minutes in order to meet our federal compliance obligations under FedRAMP, specifically FedRAMP control AC-12. This value cannot be adjusted.

Relativity aiR repository workspace

When installed to an existing workspace, the Relativity aiR repository workspace application converts the workspace into a more streamlined version for performing early case assessment (ECA) on processed data. This limited workspace is equipped with Relativity functionality you need for early case assessment while providing more cost-effective pricing for storing data that may not be actively used in a case.

You cannot use a repository workspace for review or production purposes.

See Relativity aiR repository workspace.
