Inspect/Review

Transfer to Relativity updates

Enhancements to the Transfer to Relativity feature include: an added time zone management capability, the ability to append to all custodian fields, and a method to split time and data fields.

TimeZone management updates

In Inspect and Review, a new time zone management capability was added to the Transfer to Relativity Document Action. This feature ensures accurate time representation of documents in Relativity by allowing you to specify the processed data’s time zone during transfer, which automatically calculates the correct Native Time Zone Offset value.

To enable the TimeZone Offset feature, navigate to the and in , toggle the to enable standardized document time display, then select your time zone. (779783)

Append All Custodian Fields update

This enhancement ensures that when a document is present under multiple custodians in Epiq Discover, all custodian names are updated when transferred to Relativity.

In Inspect and Review, you can now select a toggle option in the Transfer to Relativity page to identify and update custodian data of documents in Relativity. When this toggle is enabled, the system searches all documents at a project level to identify those with additional custodian data processed and loaded earlier. This data is appended to the ALL CUSTODIAN and ALL CUSTODIAN PATH fields in Relativity if a document transferred previously is found with a different custodian name.

To append the data, navigate to the and in , enable the toggle. (846860)

Date Time Fields Splitting update

In Inspect and Review, a new feature was implemented that allows splitting of datetime fields into separate date-only and time-only components during Relativity transfer. When this option is checked, you can create split fields for selected datetime fields, which can then be mapped to corresponding Relativity fields.

Split fields are displayed as with field type set to Date in Relativity to display only the date value (MM/DD/YYYY), and set to Fixed Length in Relativity. (851774)

To create split fields, perform the following procedure.

  1. In , select to create a new Field Mapping template that maps the fields or select an existing Field Mapping template from the list.

  2. To automatically map to Time Zone Field and Relativity Native Time Zone Offset, in List, select and . Then click .

Image update

In Inspect and Review, the system now supports imaging .mht files as they appear in the Native viewer. Previously, images of .mht files displayed HTML code, but now they accurately reflect the content shown in the Native viewer. (820123)

Assignment update

Implemented pagination in >> window so that it now returns 50 batches per page. Use the pagination tools at the bottom of the page to go to the first, previous, next, or last page. (922255)
