Q

Imaging Documents - Imaging Profiles

A

Imaging Profile controls the settings used to image a group of documents - can convert docs to black & white TIFF files or colored JPEGs

Best practice - for a new profile, make a copy of the “default” profile and make changes as appropriate

2 main options:

  • Basic Imaging Engine Options
  • Native Imaging Engine Options

Q

Imaging Profiles Scenario

A

You need to provide reviewers in England with a group of 500 TIFFs so that they can redact and apply markups to them in the Viewer without having to first image them individually. To do this, you create a new imaging profile specifically tailored to their needs, which include an above-normal DPI of 450 and an image size of A4 (8.27 in x 11.69 in).

Once you create this profile, you can use it as part of the imaging set.

Q

Native File Imagine Profile Validation

A

Numerical values:

  • Native Image Output Quality (DPI) - [0 < 300 (recommended) < 2400 (max)]
  • Dithering Threshold - [0 < 128 (recommended) < 255 (max)]

Format Specific:
JPEG - Ignores Images/Dithering Algorithm, Dithering Threshold, Render color pages to JPEG
TIFF - Requires Images/Dithering Algorithm & Render color pages to JPEG

Field Dependences:
Dithering Threshold Dithering Algorithm = Threshold
Fit to __ pages wide Fit to __ pages tall
If:
Zoom Level % is set, Fit to pages __ is ignored;
If Fit to ___ is set, Zoom Level % is ignored

Q

Production Sets - Numbering

A

Multiple options that control how numbering is applied:

  • Page level numbering - incremental Bates number on every page
  • Document level numbering - new doc number for each document (can add a unique page number to each page following the doc number)
  • Original Image Numbering - retains identifiers originally associated with images (i.e. Bates or other numbers already assigned to images uploaded to Rel)
  • Existing production numbering - Re-uses the Bates numbering fields from a previously-run production set, changes the images of the docs produced, or produces only a subset of documents
  • Document field numbering - uses any fixed-length text field on the Document object for your numbering. Reflective fields are not available for this numbering option

Q

Production Sets - Original Image Numbering

A

Natives + imported images -> Prod = Images and Natives -> Bates = Image identifiers in Image Load File

Natives + images -> Prod = natives -> Bates = Document Identifier

Natives + Oracle Images -> Prod = Images only -> Bates = Images number created by the TIFF native manager

Images only (imported) -> Prod = Images only -> Bates = Image identifiers defined in Image Load File

Natives only -> Prod = Natives only -> Bates = Document Identifier

Natives only -> Prod = Images and Natives -> Bates = Created image place holder, using the Document Identifier field

Natives only -> Prod = Images only -> Bates = Created image place holder, using the Document Identifier field

17
Q

Production Sets - Existing Production Numbering

A
  • When creating a prod set with existing numbering, you cannot add documents not contained in the existing set, change page counts, or change whether or not a document previously produced as Native only is produced with a placeholder
  • Can replace a produced image with a placeholder
  • if your prod set has more documents than the existing set, Relativity generates a warning showing that it auto-removed the extra documents

Production Set
Merge Existing Set - when you merge, the new production images replace the images in the previously existing production
- new prod exists for export
- updating “Has Redaction” field where redactions were added and removed
- images look the same in existing and new prod
- fully replaces original prod’s produced image inside Relativity

18
Q

Production Sets - Numbering Merge Conflicts

A
  • any docs in the prod set weren’t included in the existing prod set; these must be removed
  • page counts of docs in production set you’re creating differs from page counts in existing prod set
  • if docs in production set are also in the production restriction for that production, must remove those documents from the set or remove the production restriction
  • attempt to perform any action on a production set while it is merging with another
19
Q

Production Set - Branding

A

Can set branding options for headers and footers; can position left, center, right.
Available types:
- Production Bates Number
- Production Number (Document level numbering / Original image numbering only)
- Field
- Free text (can include {!PRODNUM!} or {!FIELD:ARTIFACTID!} in free text)
- Original Image Number (original Page ID assigned by Rel as 1) numbering used in image load file; 2) Document ID, Page ID, and a Hash Value.
- Document Identifier + Page Number
- Advanced Formatting - any combination of fields from the Advanced Formatting Drop-down list, free-form text, carriage returns, basic scripting language

20
Q

Production Sets - Sorting

A

Select a field to determine how production is sorted. Can use more than one field at a time or use descending/ascending sort order.

  • Default = Artifact ID
  • doesn’t keep family groups together
  • only applicable when Production Numbering is set to Page level numbering or Document level numbering
