Special considerations

Keep the following considerations in mind when installing and upgrading Case Dynamics:

  • Only a user with the appropriate system admin rights can import application schema.
  • You should install/upgrade during off-hours as this disrupts workspaces services and causes them to be inaccessible during the install/upgrade period.
  • Ensure that you have access to the Case Dynamics - Coding Pane permission. This permission allows group members to use the Case Dynamics coding pane. Without this permission, you will not be able to see the Case Dynamics coding pane link that allows you to access the Case Dynamics coding pane when reviewing documents. See Security Permissions.

    Workplace Security

Installing Case Dynamics

The latest version of the Case Dynamics application can be found in the Application Library and is part of the upgrade process. This application is also available for download in the Relativity Community. Search for the name of the file, and then select the Files tab in the search results.

Upgrading Case Dynamics

To upgrade the application, download the newly released schema from the Relativity Community and import it into the Application Library. You can find information about Case Dynamics product updates in the Relativity release notes.

Note: If you are on a version of Relativity where Case Dynamics uses the Person and Organization objects (Relativity 10.1 or below) and are upgrading to a Relativity version where Case Dynamics is integrated with the Entity object (Relativity 10.2 or above), Relativity recommends running the Case Dynamics Pre-Entity Integration Script before upgrading the application. The script aims to detect possible upgrade conflicts, data truncation, and customization on the Person and Organization objects that may need to be re-created on the Entity object. See Case Dynamics Pre-Entity Integration Script.

Control mass actions

Case Dynamics is permission-aware, meaning that system admins can control which items a user can use. For example, if the user does not have Delete permissions on the Fact item, they will not see the Mass Delete option.

The following table includes the mass actions that system admins can control on a particular item:
