The Production Gap and Overlap Check solution checks Bates numbers in a production set for gaps or overlaps.

This page includes the following sections: 

Before you begin

The Production Gap and Overlap Check solution checks Bates numbers in a production set for gaps or overlaps. The script looks at the ProductionDocumentFile Bates number field instead of the Document Beg Bates and End Bates. The Saved Search Gap and Overlap Check script looks at the Document.

The performance of the script depends on the number of documents in a production and the type of documents (native vs. image).

Supported versions

This solution is supported in Relativity 9.2 and above.

Components

This solution consists of a Relativity script that runs at the workspace level.

Special considerations

  • This script should only be run by a system admin. If you are not a system admin, we recommend you do not run this script.
  • The script assumes that all the documents within a production have the same prefix.
  • For native-only productions, the Bates numbers are only stored in the Beg Bates and End Bates fields. If these fields are overwritten, the report doesn't provide the correct results.
  • Any Bates numbers that are not in the format of letters followed by numbers aren't included when determining gaps and overlaps.
  • This solution doesn't support the client domains (multi-tenancy) and Data Grid features of Relativity.
