GETTING STARTED GUIDE I LAW PREDISCOVERY
2. Text: This section displays the associated text file for the record. The text may have been extracted
during the ED Loader import, created during the OCR process in LAW PreDiscovery, captured as
printed text during a TIFF conversion by the LexisNexis Image Driver, or imported during a raw image,
load file, or LAW PreDiscovery case import.
3. Open File: This button launches the native file that exists in the case folder, if applicable. Files loaded
through the ED Loader have native files tied to the records unless a filter was applied in the settings,
such as deduplicating or file type filtering. EDRM XML imports may also have associated native files.
The pull-down list attached to the Open File button allows users to choose a different source application
with which to open the native file.
4. Index: System and/or user-defined index fields are displayed here. You can add/remove fields from
this display using the Modify Fields dialog box, accessible via the Index menu. You can create profiles
in the Modify Fields dialog box as well.
5. Grid View: This embedded grid is one of two grid displays provided in LAW PreDiscovery. The grid
is an important tool when you perform certain tasks, such as filtering records, tagging documents,
running the OCR process and reviewing metadata. For a more detailed discussion of grid displays,
including how to launch them, see the section of this guide titled Walk-through: Quality Control.
(Please note: the two grid displays in LAW PreDiscovery do not support Unicode foreign language
capabilities. However, if Unicode characters exist in a field, they will display in a pop-up text box
when you rest the pointer over the cell.)
6. Folder View: This pane displays the folder structure that was built for the specified case. You can
manually create folders, or they can be automatically created when you import load files, raw images,
LAW PreDiscovery cases or e-discovery. The Folder button on the main menu bar contains functions
that apply to this area of the interface, such as creating and renaming folders, summarizing a folder
of images, and sending a folder of records to one of the grid views.
7. Document List: This pane lists records for each folder in a LAW PreDiscovery case. In this grid,
you can view up to six different fields, including DocID, Page Range (BegDoc#-EndDoc#), and Pages
(total page count of the associated images). The Edit button on the main menu bar applies to this pane
on the main interface. You can perform tasks such as inserting and replacing, auto-numbering,
splitting and merging, and deleting records.
Now that you are familiar with the main interface of LAW PreDiscovery, let’s create a case.
