Details modal

You can open the Details modal of a file by clicking to see uncompressed file and content metadata not visible by default in the Files view.

The Details modal provides you with supplemental information about errors that have occurred on records during discovery and publish.

(Click to expand)

You can also see a summary and history of all processing errors and retries in this modal. When you click the Processing Errors tab, you're presented with the following breakdown of the current errors and error history of the selected file:

(Click to expand)

• The Error History section represents all errors that have ever occurred on a file. This acts as a timeline of the record’s errors, showing when they occurred, what they were about, and if any are still active. This includes errors resulting from retries of previous errors and contains category, phase, date/time, and message information. All times are kept in UTC format.

• The Error Summary section displays a count of all active errors along with their associated category and phase. This is especially important when investigating errors relating to container files, as there can be many associated to the parent container during file extraction. This helps determine the level of impact the issue has as it may affect many files originating from it.

Retrying delete errors

Navigate to the Deleted Documents view to see a record of all deleted documents. The Processing Deletion? field is the yes/no indicator for deleted documents. You can filter by Error Message to see the errors that occurred during deletion. These errors can be retried using the Retry Delete mass operations option. Once deleted, these documents will be excluded from further processing operations (e.g., deduplication, retry, and republish) and the next duplicate will be published as the new master document, if available. To see a summary of master documents that have been replaced, see the Master Document Replacement Summary report in Processing Reports. See Mass Delete for more information on deleting documents.

Republishing files from the Files tab

Note: The following information is specific to republishing files at the file level via the Files tab and is distinct from republishing files via the processing set console. For details on republishing via the processing set console, see Republishing a processing set on the Publishing files topic.

The Republish mass operation provides the ability to publish specific documents on a more granular level compared to the processing set page. For example, you can select specific files and re-publish only that subset. In case only a few members of a family are selected, then this mass operation will automatically republish the whole family of documents.

Republish will overlay all metadata fields mapped at the time you started the operation. If fields are unmapped, Relativity will not remove the data from the field that was already published. The Extracted Text and Native file fields will be overwritten if they are different than the initially published document.

Navigate to the All Files view to see a record of all discovered files and filter to published files via the Is Published? field published. These files can be republished at the file level using the Republish mass operation.

(Click to expand)

When you click Republish, you're presented with a confirmation modal containing the following information about the job you're about to submit:

• Selected republish count of eligible files
• Total number of files to be republished, including families
• Total number of mapped fields
• Number of documents per batch when importing documents during processing

Note: If you've selected files ineligible for republish, the confirmation message will reflect this by stating that there are 0 files to be republished. Ineligible files include files from unpublished processing sets or data sources, containers (e.g., PST, ZIP), duplicate files, and files where the Processing Deletion? field status is Yes.

If you've selected eligible files, click Republish to proceed or Cancel to return to the All Files view.

Note: Once you republish, you will be unable to cancel this job.

To monitor the republish job, check the Status field in the Processing Data Sources tab and Worker Monitoring and Processing Sets tabs.

Common use cases for using the Republish mass operation

The following are common situations in which you would opt to use the Republish mass operation:

• Additional metadata fields were mapped after the initial publish of the processing set/data source completed. For example, you did not map the File Name field during the initial publish, which resulted in no metadata being populated for the documents. Now, you can map the File Name fields, go to the Files tab, filter for that data source, select the returned files and republish them, which will result the File name field getting populated.

• Files that did not get published because of document or job level publish errors.

• Newly discovered files came from a retry discovery operation after the initial publish on the set. After the initial publish completes, you can still retry discovery errors, which could result in more files to be discovered. You can select unpublished files and republish only that subset.

Saved filters

You can save any filters you set on any of the views in the Files tab and reuse them in future workflows. To do this:

1. Filter on any of the fields in the view and click Save Filters at the bottom of the view.
   (Click to expand)

   

2. In the Saved Filter modal complete following fields and click Save.
   (Click to expand)

   

   • Name - the name you want these saved filters to appear under in the saved filters browser.
   • Notes - any notes you want to enter to clarify the purpose of these saved filters.
   • Conditions - a display of the filter conditions you already set on each field in the view you were previously working in. For example, if you'd just filtered for Lotus Notes files on the File Type field, that filter is displayed. Here, you can start over by clear the conditions you already set, or you can add more conditions by clicking + Conditions. Doing this brings up the Add Condition - Select Field modal, in which you can select additional fields.
     
     Once you select the additional fields you want to add to the saved filters set, specify the conditions you want to apply to those fields and click Apply.
     
     The new field(s) and conditions are then visible in the Saved Filter modal and you can click Save to further refine the documents returned by this filter set.
     

3. Once you save the filter set, return to the saved filters pane and confirm that the new set has been added. You can now use this set whenever you want to locate these specific documents.

Right-click options

You can right-click on any saved filter set in the saved filters pane, and choose to Edit, Copy, or Delete it.

Edit

Clicking Edit takes you to the Saved Filter modal to add, remove, or modify any fields previously set.

(Click to expand)

Copy

To make a copy of an existing filter set, right-click and select Copy.

(Click to expand)

• This is useful for situations in which you want to retain most of the fields and conditions in an existing filter set, but not all of them. Copying that filter set allows you to quickly make small changes to it and save it as a new set without having to build a new one from scratch. When you select Copy, the new set appears with the same name and a (1) added to the end of it. You can then edit this copied set to give it a new name and different conditions in the Saved Filter modal.

Delete

To remove a filter set from the saved filter browser entirely, right-click and select Delete .

Download / Replace

Download / Replace provides the ability to download a file to your local machine for investigation. It will also provide the ability to replace and retry an original file with a new version that has been fixed during error remediation. You can only replace and retry files with errors of a status of Not Resolved.

To perform the Download / Replace mass action, perform the following steps:

1. To take action on a specific file, select it, and then select the Download / Replace mass action.

Note: If you select multiple files, a Download and Replace error displays because this action can only be performed on one file at a time.



2. The Download & Replace dialog box opens allowing you to browse for or drop a replacement file.
3. Once you select or browse and drop the replacement file, click Download.

4. Once the file is downloaded, resolve the error, and drag the resolved file back into the Download & Replace modal. A message displays that the file is ready for replace and retry. If the file extensions do not match and/or if the new file is larger than the original, you can still proceed with the replace and retry action.

5. Click Replace & Retry.



6. To see if the action was successful, you can check the Error History by going into the Details modal. If the retry was successful, the error will display a status of Resolved.
