Express Transfer Updates

2024-05-07 | Import/Export | ☑

Our latest enhancements to Import/Export are designed to offer more flexibility during the import process. As part of this improvement, Express Transfer will now upload only the materials linked in the selected load file, rather than uploading the contents of the entire folder. Additionally, it now ignores case sensitivity in the load file paths and file names, greatly reducing the time and effort required to prepare load files.

Track Coding Decisions with Review Center Coding Field

2024-04-09 | Review Center | ☑

We’ve implemented a new field in Review Center called Review Center Coding to help users track coding decisions made on documents in queues. You will now be able to easily see which documents were reviewed in which queues, when, and by which reviewer.

Automatic Teams to RSMF Conversion

2024-03-05 | Short Message | ☑

Teams messages will now be automatically detected from your PST files during Processing and converted to RSMF with all the metadata needed for your review.

Load File Enhancements

2024-03-05 | Import/Export | ☑

Our latest Import/Export enhancement unifies load file import jobs, eliminating the need for varied file formats for each workflow.

Project rules support dtSearch syntax 

2024-01-09 | Redact | ☑

With this new capability, you can create Redact project rules that follow support terms written in dtSearch syntax such as stemming, fuzzy searches, proximity, and more to quickly and automatically redact your next batch of spreadsheets, PDFs or images.

Find and redact for PDFs

2024-01-09 | Redact | ☑

Our newest markup action extends the searching capabilities in the viewer, allowing you to find text within a PDF and redact it in a few clicks instead of manually drawing your markup. Search your PDFs for key terms or other important information, then quickly draw a redaction over selected search hits with your preferred markup type, style, and scope.

Processing: Document deletion optimization 

2024-02-20 | Processing

We have made several improvements to the document deletion process. Now, when you delete a file that was ingested via Processing, all occurrences of the document, including duplicates, within the same processing data source will also be deleted. You also have the option to choose whether to delete all occurrences of the document from other data sources, preventing automatic republication of duplicates to the workspace. 

Import/Export automated custodian mapping

2024-01-09 | Data Transfer | ☑

Our most recent improvement in Import/Export allows for automatic custodian mapping based on folder names. When new custodians are detected, they will be added to the entity and associated with the data source, eliminating the need for manual custodian assignment. 

Mass delete optimization

2023-12-05 | Processing | ☑

We have optimized the mass delete modal to provide more details into the settings you can configure and surfaced the “create audit snapshot” setting directly in the modal. This delivers additional clarity into the mass delete process and improves performance by up to 10%.

ARM Restore UI changes

2023-12-05 | Data Transfer | ☑

The latest enhancements to the ARM interface will simplify your Restore workflow. When you create a Restore job, you only need to select Client and Matter. The rest of the settings will be chosen automatically, decreasing the possibility of incorrect configurations.
