BatchGuru - transform metadata in Relativity

BatchGuru from vdiscovery and Nikolai Pozdniakov's Hashtaglegal, is a set of tools to be used in a Relativity workspace which helps you easily transform metadata in existing fields.

If you need to remove email addresses from email metadata to, from, cc, or bcc fields for the purposes of generating output for a document index or privilege log, you can use the 'Remove Email Address' function which creates a new field with the addresses listed with domains deleted, and the email name aliases left in:

You can set it up simply by creating a batch and specifying source and destination fields:

BatchGuru also facilitates the export of native files. Create a new batch using 'Native Exporter' as the data source, and specify a metadata field to be used to designate the filenames:

. . . the output goes to another module in BatchGuru named, 'Native Exporter - Pick Up':

. . . which then links to a zip file containing the exported native files:

This function has limitations because the zip file which is generated is added to the workspace. Multiple exports of large numbers of native files can increase the size of the workspace considerably.

BatchGuru includes many other tools which will allow fields to be split by specified delimiters; generate 'autopreviews' of the first few lines of emails in document lists; and count the number of recipients listed in a single email message. Check out what's possible with it today!
