ExportCaseLogistixSettingsWindowIcon CaseLogistix Settings

This window is used to configure CaseLogistix load file (XML) export settings.

Path Notation - The following options determine how image file paths are written to the exported load file:

oHard Path - The full file path will be written, so that the root directory is the same regardless of load file location.

oRelative Path - Relative file paths will be written, so that the location of the load file itself becomes the root directory.

oUNC Path - UNC notation is used for the file paths, so that a mapped network drive may be used as the root directory.

Include document/OCR text as a field in load file - When available, the extracted/OCR text from each document will be included in the load file.

oField name - This input box specifies a name for the field where this text is stored within the load file.

Return to:

ExportCaseMapSettingsWindowIcon CaseMap Settings

This window is used to configure CaseMap load file (CSV) export settings.

Data Delimiters - The following drop-downs determine what characters are used to delimit (contain/separate) document data within the exported load file:

oField - This drop-down determines the delimiter used for Metadata Field data.

Other - When selecting <other> from the Field drop-down, use this input box to specify a new delimiter to use.

oText - This drop-down determines the delimiter used for extracted/OCR text data.

Path Notation - The following options determine how image file paths are written to the exported load file:

oHard Path - The full file path will be written, so that the root directory is the same regardless of load file location.

oRelative Path - Relative file paths will be written, so that the location of the load file itself becomes the root directory.

oUNC Path - UNC notation is used for the file paths, so that a mapped network drive may be used as the root directory.

Include field names as first record - The name of each selected Metadata Field (Export Utility: Fields) is included in the first row (record) of the exported load file.

Return to:

ExportConcordanceSettingsWindowIcon Concordance Settings

 

Data Delimiters - The following drop-downs determine what characters are used to delimit (contain/separate) document data within the exported load file

Note

Definition of a Delimiter: A delimiter is a character or sequence of characters used to separate distinct parts within plain text or data streams. For example, the comma character serves as a field delimiter in comma-separated values (CSV). Delimiters can include commas (,), semicolons (;), and quotes (“, ’).

oComma - The delimiter that marks the separation of metadata fields

oQuote - The delimiter that marks the start and end of a metadata field

oNewline - Marks the end of the metadata line

oRestore Defaults - This button will restore all delimiters to their default character selections.

Path Notation - The following options determine how image file paths are written to the exported load file:

oHard Path - The full file path will be written, so that the root directory is the same regardless of load file location.

oRelative Path - Relative file paths will be written, so that the location of the load file itself becomes the root directory.

oUNC Path - UNC notation is used for the file paths, so that a mapped network drive may be used as the root directory.

Allow Unicode data in load file - Allows for Unicode to be within the fields within the .DAT file

Create Opticon load file only - Only an Opticon will be generated upon the export

Enable support for Concordance Native Viewer - When enabled, configures the load file created during export to be opened with Concordance Native Viewer

Include field names as first record - Inserts the field names for each field as the first record in the .dat file. This is useful when viewing the data manually or importing into other applications.

Include document/OCR text as a field in load file - When available, the extracted/OCR text from each document will be included in the load file.

oField name - This input box specifies a name for the field where this text is stored within the load file.

Link to images and native files in their current location - Leaves any images and native files included in the export in their location (LAW case directory). This feature greatly improves the speed of the export because no files are being copied and LAW must only generate the load files. Paths in the load file will reflect the current location of the files.

Return to:

ExportRingtailSettingsWindowIcon Ringtail Settings

 

Allow long folder names (over 20 chars) - allows CloudNine™ LAW to ignore Ringtail's recommended folder name length limit of 20 characters.

Warning

This setting is not recommended as Ringtail does not officially support long folder names. This option is available due to special LAW user requests.

Include document/OCR text as a field in load file - When available, the extracted/OCR text from each document will be included in the load file.

oField name - This input box specifies a name for the field where this text is stored within the load file.

Warning

Ringtail does not directly support this method and it should be used with caution.

Insert special page markers in OCR text - Inserts a special page marker onto the OCR text of each page in the following format:
###{Page}|||Page {PageID}^^^

This tag is used by Ringtail for linking the OCR text to the actual images

oReplace existing page markers - Removes any existing page markers currently on the OCR and replace them with the new value.

This feature is useful if the OCR in LAW already contains these markers but document boundaries have since changed. Instead of re-OCRing the documents, this feature replaces the old tag with the new.

Include reference to native file in Pages table - When enabled, and native files are included for export, LAW will write a record for each native file to the Pages table in the Ringtail load file (export.mdb).

Records referenced in the pages table will be available for viewing in the Image frame in Ringtail.

If images and native files are included for export, and the native records are not referenced in the Pages table, Ringtail will locate the native files and allow viewing of them in the Content frame, provided the native files are named the same as the associated image and are located in the same folder.

Multi-entry fields... - Ringtail supports either single-page or multi-page TIFFs; however, the most commonly used image format is single-page TIFF.

Return to:

WindowIcon Storm Viewer

Storm Viewer is a freely distributable viewer available to the public. The viewer runs as a front-end to the Storm imagebase. The Storm imagebase can be built and distributed freely by users of CloudNine™ LAW and Storm-X. Storm Versions 1.2 and above now offer the DB-Builder License which allows users to import industry standard loads files and raw image files to build their own Storm ImageBases.

Storm utilizes the powerful Advantage Local Server for accessing image data and metadata. The local server has a 5-user concurrent connection limit, so any 5 users may have a single database open at one time.

For users who wish to scale Storm for use as a document retrieval tool, and have more clients, the Advantage Database Server is a lightweight and powerful relational database management system (RDBMS) that can add stability, speed, and connections to existing imagebases.

 

Note

Storm Viewer exports will also work for the Storm software, a free CD-runtime viewer.

ExportSummationSettingsWindowIcon Summation Settings

 

Allow advanced (iBlaze) dii features - Enables features not compatible with versions 5.21 and below of Summation.

eDii Tokens... - This feature allows users to choose which tokens are placed in the Summation load file. All available tokens are selected by default.

eDii Tokens dialog box

oWrite all fields to dii file - Allows the writing of seven or more index fields to be written to the DII file. The default export method is to write the index fields to a text file if the number of index fields is greater than seven.

oInclude document/OCR text directly in dii file - When available, the extracted/OCR text from each document will be included in the dii file.

oInclude PST tokens directly in dii file - Forces CloudNine™ LAW to include an extra 'tag' in the edii file. The @PSTFile token allows Summation users to identify the source PST file where the e-mails originated. This can be helpful if there are many individual PST files being processed for a job. If this option is not checked, the @PSTFile token will be omitted from the load file (*.dii). This option is only available in cases that are enabled for electronic discovery.

oInclude @EDOC token for e-mail messages - If a PST or NSF mail store file is included in the export, enabling this option adds the @EDOC filename token to the load file (*.dii).

Always write index fields to separate file - Forces LAW to place all index field information into a delimited text file regardless of the number of index fields selected for export.

Include field names as first record of delimited text file - Places the index field names in the first line of the delimited text file. This is useful for determining the field order of the data in the load file or for importing into other applications.

Data Delimiters - The data delimiters for the delimited text file may be defined in this section. The default values for this feature can be reset by clicking the Restore Defaults button.

oField Separator - The delimiter that marks the separation of metadata fields

oQuote Character - The delimiter that marks the start and end of a metadata field

o<Return> Value in Data - Marks the end of the metadata line

oRestore Defaults -  This button will restore all delimiters to their default character selections.

Dii Path Notation - is used to specify the type of volume notation to use in the dii file

oCD Volume (@V Vol:) - Option will return a tag in the dii similar to: "@D @VVol001:\Vol001\001\" where "Vol001" is the volume name.

oHard Path - Creates a tag similar to: "@D C:\Exports\Vol001\001\".

oImage Directory (@1) - Option will return a tag in the dii similar to: "@D @I\Vol001\001\" where "Vol001" is the volume name.

Note

An INI setting is available to modify the @MEDIA value used for e-mail attachments that are e-mail files (i.e. MSG attached to an MSG).

By default, LAW will populate the @MEDIA token for these attachments as Attachment per the Summation documentation.

However, the value can be changed to eMail for e-mails attached to e-mails by adding the following setting in the Law50.ini file in the application path (i.e. C:\Program Files (x86)\Law50):

[Summation]

EmailAttachEmailMedia=eMail

If the [Summation] section already exists, add the key below it. Otherwise, add the entire setting as shown. To switch back to the default of Attachment, either remove or comment out the setting above or replace the eMail value with Attachment.

Note

The @O token will be included in the Summation load file in either of the following conditions:
 

1) The text is exported to a different location or has a filename different than the image.

 

or

 

2) When there is no TIFF image associated with a record.
