Staging Explorer

Note: As of September 1, 2024, we’ve streamlined our Staging boundaries to more effectively separate staging data from workspace and system data. With this change, you will no longer be able to write to or access data outside of the four defined staging area folders. The four folders that comprise the Staging area are ARM, ProcessingSource, StructuredData, and TenantVM. Folders that were removed include FTA, Temp, Export, and dtSearch, in addition to any other folders that you manually created. Refer to the Staging Area topic and Staging Area FAQ in Community for more details.

Staging Explorer enables you to rapidly transfer large amounts of data to and from RelativityOne to jump-start and sustain the data pipeline for critical projects. Use it to upload files to a staging area for RelativityOne or to download files from your RelativityOne storage location to a local computer.

Below are the top-level directories included in the Staging Area within each tenant or client domain storage area:

  • ARM—a folder for archiving workspaces and for staging restores via the ARM application.
  • StructuredData—a folder for importing and exporting workspace data using Import/Export  and Integration Points. Refer to  Import/Export and Integration Points documentation for more information.

Note: Relativity is deprecating the existing Export folder in September 2024 and is providing a new StructuredData folder in May 2024 to allow you to import and export data from the folder for easier integration with Import/Export and Integration Points. Begin using the StructuredData folder once it's available. This folder will be included in your Staging threshold and will be calculated and billed the same as the existing Staging folders (ARM, ProcessingSource, and TenantVM). The Export folder will be removed in September 2024 and will no longer be billable.

  • ProcessingSource—a folder for storing files you want to process into your RelativityOne workspace.
  • TenantVM—a folder to temporarily store Utility Server virtual machine (UVM) workflows. Refer to Utility Server documentation for more information.

You can view data for a new matter, quickly load newly discovered data, or quickly download produced documents. This makes accessing data in the cloud as quick and seamless as if it was contained within your own environment.
