Production

With the Production application you can prepare relevant and non-privileged documents to turn over to opposing counsel after review. Relativity's production application makes it easy to customize your productions from placeholders to custom branding.

For more information about working with productions, see the following pages:

For information about troubleshooting the production application through the Service Host Manager, see Service Host Manager in the system guides section.

To upgrade the application, use one of the following methods:

  1. Upgrade to the latest Relativity product update - Upgrading to the latest Relativity update automatically upgrades production to the latest version.
  2. Upgrade production only - Download the newly released RAP file from the Relativity Community and import it into the Application Library.

Production information

The production information object stores important information about your production. Staging a production populates this object in your workspace. As an example, the production information object is useful when you want to look at the amount of documents with redactions, the control number of the documents in your production, which documents were produced with a placeholder, and which documents were produced as a native. The production information object also stores the automatically created Bates numbers associated with the production. Because the Bates numbers automatically populate on production documents, the Bates numbers fields automatically clear when you delete productions.

To quickly view the information stored on this object, click View Documents in the production console. The View Documents pop-up displays information on both documents and individual pages. You can also view information about the documents produced by looking at the saved search that is automatically created when the production job finishes.

Once you run a production, you can view the aforementioned information on the documents list for each produced document by adding the fields to a view and then creating a tab from that view. See Views and Tabs for more information.
