The Case Dynamics application must be installed in each workspace that you want to use application.

Special considerations

Keep the following considerations in mind when installing and upgrading Case Dynamics:

  • Only a user with the appropriate system admin rights can import application schema.
  • You should install/upgrade during off-hours as this disrupts workspaces services and causes them to be inaccessible during the install/upgrade period.
  • Ensure that you have access to the Case Dynamics - Coding Pane permission. This permission allows group members to use the Case Dynamics coding pane. Without this permission, you will not be able to see the Case Dynamics coding pane link that allows you to access the Case Dynamics coding pane when reviewing documents. See Security Permissions.

Installing Case Dynamics

The latest version of the Case Dynamics application can be found in the Application Library and is part of the upgrade process. This application is also available for download in the Relativity Community. Search for the name of the file, and then select the Files tab in the search results.

The installation process follows the same steps used to install other Relativity applications. For more information, see Installing applications.

You must have system admin permissions to install an application. See Workspace security.

Upgrading Case Dynamics

To upgrade the application, download the newly released schema from the Relativity Community and import it into the Application Library. You can find information about Case Dynamics product updates in the Relativity release notes.

Note: If you have made any modifications to Case Dynamics, those will be lost upon upgrade.

Control mass actions

Case Dynamics is permission-aware, meaning that system admins can control which items a user can use. For example, if the user does not have Delete permissions on the Fact item, they will not see the Mass Delete option.

The following table includes the mass actions that system admins can control on a particular item:
