Overview: Review Module

In the Review module, Reviewers analyze the documents that belong to the case. Reviewing a case is an iterative process and the review tasks and the order that the review tasks are completed depends of the needs of your business. Also, In the Review module, reviewers:

• Create, run, and save a search
• Review a document's images, extracted text, natives, and production history
• Tag documents

• Apply annotations and redactions to documents

• Edit fields in the case table and split and merge documents

   

Note: Review provides significant security. Administrators can: Restrict viewing and updating of data at the field level. Limit access based on user roles, groups, and case privileges. For more information, see Control System Access Using Groups, Users, Roles, and Privileges.

The Review Process

The following image demonstrates the iterative nature of the review process. This example process shows a two stage review with a subsequent final review. Not every organization will do 3 reviews. Each organization will develop their own process (e.g. number of iterations, tagging requirements, etc.).

 

The case review process is controlled by the fields, tagging rules, and other case details defined during the case creation process. For more information on creating a case, seeCreate a Case. While the case is in review, your organization may be creating productions to send to various parties involved in the case. When you are finished reviewing the case you can begin preparing for trial.

Tip: For more information about a possible workflow for the review process, see Workflow: Review a Case.
