RelativityOne's Redact

Keep in mind the following about RelativityOne's new redact function.

• Redact will store a record of the original version of a document that is redacted for a production set.

• After a cell is redacted, most of the formatting in the cell will be retained. The cell border and color fill will not be lost. However only the format settings for the first word in the cell will be saved. Other variations to the font, font size, and text color for subsequent words will be lost.

• While Redact will facilitate the redaction of Excel files, it is not possible to use it to redact .csv files.

• Users with access to Redact will be able to use these mass operations:

  1. Convert spreadsheet markups - this changes all redactions to highlights, or vice versa.

  2. Revert redactions for native files

  3. Remove hidden content in Excel files.

Relativity filters

Be sure not to miss the following facts about filters in Relativity:

• Any term entered directly in the search box for a filter will be treated like a wildcard.

. . . if you enter an asterisk in the filter, it will be treated as a searchable character, and you may not get results for the stem preceding the asterisk.

You can use an underscore _ to search for a missing character:

Don't enter parentheses in a search for a phrase, just enter the phrase itself. Using an = sign before a term will run an exact search.

Getting the Cost of ECA Down in Relativity

The Tip of the Night for January 3, 2021, discussed Early Case Assessment using the Relativity repository workspace application, which allows data to be hosted at reduced fees, without the full functionality of a standard workspace.

Some RelativityOne tools will remain active in the repository workspace, including structured analytics, dtSearch, and conceptual analytics. However, assisted review [TAR], active learning [CAL}, mass save as PDF operations, and all custom applications will not be enabled.

When a data set is ready to move back to a standard workspace for document view, a saved search should be created which includes all of the documents to be transferred via a Relativity Integration Point.

The cost of Early Case Assessment can be reduced by using links to the standard workspace, rather than by preparing duplicates for the standard workspace. If duplicates are used, Relativity will double bill for the data in the repository workspace, and the standard workspace used for review.
