Short Message Slicing
Review

Short message slicing helps you focus only on the portions of the conversations that matter most to your case and eliminate cumbersome redaction workarounds needed when imaging an entire conversation. Now, users will be able to select certain messages to be sliced out of your original RSMF file into a new RSMF file. You can manually select the messages you want to slice, or easily filter and mass select by participant, event types, and date ranges.

Processing

Our new RSMF handler will transform the way short message data is processed into Relativity Server by introducing workflows unique to short message. With this update, you’ll get to process more RSMF 2.0 metadata like application and collection ID, include your custom metadata and process files over 200 MB.

Improved native PDF rendering
PDF Viewer

The native PDF viewer is improved by expanding the number of types of PDFs rendered properly, including signatures within PDFs. This will provide you with a more stable experience when working with PDFs in Relativity Server.

Note: The improved native PDF rendering functionality will be available in Server 2024 Patch 1, scheduled to release in December 2024.

Enhanced audio file navigation
Review

You can now more easily navigate audio and video files in the Viewer. A new wave form view helps determine where activity lies within files so you can quickly find relevant material, while enhanced functionality gives you additional control, including skipping over silence and playing at different speeds.
