Updates to RelativityOne Support Groups

2024-10-24 | Security Center

Support groups created in RelativityOne will now be named after the ticket ID, with a 'time to live' tied to the ticket's status.

Staging Boundary Updates: Data Transfer

2024-08-28 | Data Transfer

Changes to our Staging boundaries will be implemented beginning in September. With this change, you will no longer be able to write to or access data outside of the defined staging area. To better align with this initiative, we are updating some of our data transfer tools:

  • Integration Points will support direct imports and exports to the StructuredData folder.

  • Import/Export will support direct uploads of raw (unprocessed) data to the ProcessingSource folder and exports to the StructuredData folder within the Staging area.

Inline Editing

2024-08-27 | List Page

You can now easily edit fields inline directly from the document list page, eliminating the need to enter a coding layout or use a mass action to make changes. For users with permission, this intuitive editing capability introduces a new "edit mode" that bolds and highlights editable fields, reduces the chance of accidental edits, and auto-saves to ensure your desired changes are captured.

Processing: Mass Replace Errored Files

2024-08-22 | Processing

You can now replace multiple files at once that have been previously downloaded and modified outside of Relativity to remediate issues such as DRM encryption and data corruption. The new 'Mass Replace for Errored files' will now automatically perform the matching and replacement, significantly reducing the time and effort needed to replace files, from 30 minutes to just one minute per 100 files.

Streamline your redaction workflow with Façade Redactions

2024-01-23 | Redact

Marking up and producing natives just got easier with facade redactions.

Processing: Track Exceptions as Errors and Warnings

2024-07-23 | Processing

You can now distinguish between expected issues (encryption, file corruptions, etc.) and unexpected (environmental, Input/Output problems, etc.) so you can better target remediation efforts after a job has completed. This creates a more targeted and specific workflow on error resolution, as you will be able to see which issues should be retried and which require manual resolution.
