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.
