The Case View tab, also known as the Case Grid or Case Table, presents a table (also called a "grid") of documents included in the case. The display of the items in the case view is set up by your administrator when they configure Review. Each record in the case table represents a case document. A subset of case table data displays in search results, Private, or Public Folders in the Case Folders pane on the left.

This topic covers work that you perform on individual documents in the Case View. This includes tasks such as editing fields for the current record, rescanning the current document, and viewing record history.

 

Tip: You can also perform case-level tasks in the Case View, such as adjusting the workspace, using the Tally function, and comparing records. For more information on tasks the user can perform when working with all documents in the grid, see Work at the Case-Level in Case View.

 

When you first open a case, all case records are included in the table. If you open a review batch, you will see a subset of case records assigned to you or a group to which you belong. All fields for each record, or a subset, may be included. Contact your administrator for details on the data in your cases.

The procedures described in this article explain only some of the many tasks you can complete when working with individual topics in the Case View and offer a possible workflow for completing these tasks. This is only an example of a workflow, the tasks can be completed in the order required for your business. The diagram, below, outlines the tasks a user performs when working on individual records.

 

ClosedReview the Prerequisites

The following table shows the prerequisites that must be in place before you start:

Task

Notes

Create a Case

Before you being reviewing a case, the case must be created and records must be added to the case, either by scanning hard-copies of items into the case or by importing them from a local or network drive. For more information, see Create a Case.

Assign Privileges

Users must have privileges assigned to review the case. Privileges are complex and control the availability of features in the Review module as well as the users ability to use the features. For more information, see Overview: Security and Control System Access Using Groups, Users, Roles, and Privileges.

Closed1. Select a Record in the Grid

Open the Review module and select a record in the grid to get started.

  1. On the Dashboard, click the Review module.

  2. Select a Client and Case and click Open.

  3. Select a record in the grid on the Case View tab.
  4. To select a single record, click the record in the case table. Corresponding documents will appear in the document details pane.
  5. To select multiple records:
    • For a contiguous set of records: click the first record of the set, then Shift+click the last record in the set.  

    • For a non-contiguous set of records: click the first record of the set, then CTRL+click the last record in the set.

Closed2. Edit Fields in Case View

If you have been given the required privileges, you can edit fields in the Case View or another tab in the documents pane.

To edit fields in the case table use one of the following methods:

  • Copy Content from One Field to the Next
  • Copy Content from One Row to the Next
  • Copy Data in the Case View/Case Table
  • Edit Fields Manually in the Case View/Case Table

If you have the appropriate privileges, you can also edit Pick Lists and Named Lists in Case View. For more information, see Edit Pick or Name Lists in Case View.

To view a list of limitations to editing in the Case View/Case Table, see Editing Limitations in Case View.

ClosedCopy Content from One Field to the Next

To copy data for a single field:

  1. In the case table, organize columns and rows as needed to copy the needed data from one field to the next.

  2. Locate and double-click the field to be changed to match the field in the previous row. (The field in the previous row must not be empty.)

  3. TIP: Instead of double-clicking in a field, you can click the field and press the F2 key or right-click and select Toggle Edit Mode.

  4. Press the F6 key. The content in the field will change to match that of same field in the previous row.

  5. NOTE: Pressing the F6 key will change a selected field’s content whether it is empty or has content.

  6. Click another field or press the Tab key (or Shift+Tab) to complete the edit and navigate to the next (or previous) field in the row and continue editing.

  7. Repeat these steps to copy data into other fields.

ClosedCopy Content from One Row to the Next

Complete the following steps to copy data from one row to the next.

NOTE: Empty fields currently displayed in the case table are the only ones that will be changed. They will be filled with data from the previous row.

  1. Locate and double-click any field in the row to be changed to match the one above it.

  2. TIP: Instead of double-clicking in a field, you can click the field and press the F2 key or right-click and select Toggle Edit Mode.

  3. Press the F7 key. All empty fields in the selected row will change to match the corresponding fields in the previous row. In the previous example, if the F7 key had been pressed, then the Author, Company, and Date created fields (and any other empty fields currently in the row) would have been changed to match the first row.

  4. Click another field or press the Tab key (or Shift+Tab) to complete the edit and navigate to the next (or previous) field in the row and continue editing.

  5. Repeat these steps for other rows.

ClosedEdit Fields Manually in the Case View/Case Table

To edit fields manually in the Case View/Case Table:

  1. Locate the field to be changed. Continue with any of the following steps, depending on the type of field.

  2. TIPS: In the following steps, instead of double-clicking a field, you can click the field and press the F2 key or right-click and select Toggle Edit Mode. Also, this procedure assumes you are not already in Edit mode. If you are already in Edit mode, access a field by tabbing to it in the row you are editing or using other keyboard shortcuts.

  3. Text fields:

    1. Double-click the field and enter or edit the value as needed.

    2. Press the Tab key (or Shift+Tab) to complete the edit and navigate to the next (or previous) field in the row and continue editing. Alternatively, use other keyboard shortcuts to navigate in the table or stop editing.

  4. Date fields: Check with your administrator regarding requirements for date fields; enter or correct dates as instructed. Note:

    • To edit a date field, double-click the field and enter or correct the date. Follow the guidelines below; Review will change your entry (if needed) to match the format defined for the case.

    • To enter dates without delimiters, use the yyyymmdd format. For example, 20110309 is March 9, 2011.

    • To enter dates with delimiters, use the date format defined for your case. For example, the format might be mmddyyyy – use that format with a delimiter of your choice.

    • If the full date format is being used in your case (such as “March 9, 2014”), enter the full format or the mm-dd-yyyy format (with any delimiter). For example, 03/09/2011.

    • Date ranges defined for coding forms are not enforced when you edit date fields in the case table.

    • Partial dates may not be allowed. For example, if the date format is mm-dd-yyyy and partial dates are not allowed, entering only the month and year will be considered invalid. Likewise, if a DATE_TIME field does not include a time, it will be considered invalid.

    • Your administrator may configure Review to fill empty or partial dates with zeroes or nines. These can serve as a visual cue for missing or partial dates.

    • Press the Tab key (or Shift+Tab) to complete the edit and navigate to the next (or previous) field in the row and continue editing. Alternatively, use other keyboard shortcuts to navigate in the table or to stop editing.

  5. Category fields: If a field is of the CATEGORY type and includes a control list, complete step 5. If the field does not include a control list:

    1. Double-click the field and enter or edit the value as needed.

    2. Press the Tab key (or Shift+Tab) to complete the edit and navigate to the next (or previous) field in the row and continue editing. Alternatively, use other keyboard shortcuts to navigate in the table or to stop editing.

  6. Pick or name lists: Select an item from the drop-down arrow in the field. In some cases you can select multiple items. Users with appropriate privileges can edit the items in the list or add additional values. See Edit Pick or Name Lists in Case View.

  7. Repeat steps as needed to edit other fields. When you finish editing, press the F2 key.

ClosedEditing Limitations in Case View

There are some differences between editing in Record View and editing in Case view. The following list provides specific information about editing fields in the case table:

  • Spell-checking is not implemented in the case table. If field have been configured with the spell-check option, it may be better to edit the field in Record View, where spelling errors will be identified.
  • Fields with view-only security cannot be edited (except by Super or Case Administrators).
  • Rules may defined for coding forms requiring specific actions be taken regarding field editing and/or tagging. If these rules exist, edit fields in Record View.
  • If a change is made that conflicts with unique or defined information (for example, changing the value of a primary field to one that already exists), the change will not be saved. In this event, an error message will display.
  • The following field types are automatically populated. Manual edits are allowed, but certain actions will cause edits to be overwritten (for example, if the Case Data Summary Report is run in Administration). Check with your administrator before editing these fields:
    • BEGATTACH
    • ENDATTACH
    • FILE_EXT
    • FILE_ID
    • NATIVE_SIZE
    • IMAGECNT
    • TEXT_SIZE

Closed3. Rescan Current Document

Complete the following procedures to rescan a document into a case from the case table (Case View or related tab). See Overview: Scanning (Case Table) for more information about scanning from the Case Table.

When you rescan a document there are two steps, the scanning step and the verification step. Click the links below for more information.

Closed6. Send Document to FAQs: TRIAL DIRECTOR Data Sync or Case Story

Documents that have been loaded into a case can be sent to the TRIAL DIRECTOR or Case Story applications. To do this:

  1. In the Case View pane, right-click the needed record and select Send to Trial/Case Story.

    Tip: To access the document in TRIAL DIRECTOR, navigate to the EVIDENCE module and look in the Document Explorer for the items you sent. To access the document in Case Story, click the Documents tab on the left-hand side, and look for the items in the Document Explorer.

Closed7. Open a Native File

Native files are the electronic source documents, such as email files, Microsoft® Word files, and other files, upon which the documents in your case are based.

If your case includes native files, they are identified in the case table by a native file icon in the leftmost column of the table. Each icon represents the type of file, such asfor email files.

It may be useful for you to open a native file for viewing, for example, if a TIFF image file is fuzzy.

Note: You will be able to open native files if you have been given the privilege and you have the needed software program on your computer.

 

To open a native file using the native application, make sure you have the native application. Then follow these steps:

  1. On the Dashboard, click the Review module.

  2. Select a Client and Case and click Open.

  3. In the Case View or other tab (search results, etc.) in the documents pane, select  the needed record.

  4. In the leftmost column, double-click the native file icon corresponding to the selected record. For example, the icon for an email file is .

  5. Note: If Review cannot find the software program needed to open the file, a Windows message will ask you to either allow the Windows Web service to find the program, or select it yourself. If you receive the Windows message, select a method for locating the program and click OK.

  6. Examine the file contents as needed. Perform activities allowed by the native application, such as saving or printing the file. Do not attempt to change the file.

  7. When finished, close (do not save) the native file.

Note: If you lack the native file privilege or do not have the appropriate programs, you can view native files in the Quick View tab. Quick View includes a file viewer that will display all common file types. SeeView a File on the Quick View Tab.
