Mass convert

Use the Mass Convert operation to pre-convert a large set of documents into HTML5 format before review. This process reduces document load time in the viewer and improves performance during document review.

You can access Mass Convert from the mass operations bar on the document list. Choose whether to convert checked items or all items in the current result set. Then, select Convert from the drop-down menu and complete the fields on the Convert Documents layout.

Conversion options

  • Natives: Convert native files.
  • Images: Convert embedded images.
  • Productions: If selected documents belong to a production set, the set appears here.
  • Re-convert if previously converted: Select this to convert documents again, even if they’ve already been converted. The system stores newly converted documents in the cache.

After you click Run, you can’t cancel the job. Converting a large number of documents may reduce available disk space on the file server.

RelativityOne uses browser-based technology to render PDF and audio/video files. These file types do not go through the Mass Convert process. You don’t need to run Mass Convert operations on them.

Limitations

  • Mass Convert is only available for the Document object.
  • It’s not available in repository workspaces.
  • You can’t use Mass Convert on Data Grid-enabled fields.
