Overview: Administration Module

More than just a litigation database, Ipro for desktop, gives your organization the power to effectively control all aspects of its cases with a single discovery management application. It allows you to focus on the case, not the technology.

Reviewers, legal experts, and other users will review, analyze, and annotate documents with the easy-to-use tools in Review. Administrators will manage security, case content, production, and all aspects of the process with Administration.

Meet the Administration Workspace

The Administration workspace includes components that allow you to efficiently manage review processes. The following figure shows the Administration workspace and its major components; see the table for a description of each component.
