Generating an Index Summary

Index Summaries provide a useful snapshot of the overall record data being displayed within the Standalone Grid View. To generate an Index Summary:

1.Begin either by performing a search with the Database Query Builder, or by clicking from the Toolbar in the Main User Interface.

2.Within the Standalone Grid View, from the Menu select Tools > Summary. This opens the Index Summary dialog displaying the following information:

i.Documents - The total number of documents who's records are currently displayed within the Grid View.

ii.Total Pages - The total number of pages associated with document records currently displayed within the Grid View.

iii.Coded Fields - The total number of Metadata Fields for all records currently displayed within the Grid View that have been altered or edited (coded) by the user.

3.When you're finished reviewing the Index Summary, click OK to close it.

Viewing Extended Property Fields

1.Begin either by performing a search with the Database Query Builder, or by clicking from the Toolbar in the Main User Interface.

2.With the Standalone Grid View now open, enable the HasExtProps field from the Field List window (if it's not already viewable). This field indicates which records contain extended property fields.

i.From the Menu, select View > Field List, and check the box on the left of the HasExtProps field.

3.Consider filtering all displayed records by right-clicking on any cell containing a Y under the HasExtProps field and selecting Filter By Selection from the pop-out menu, or on any cell with an N and selecting Filter Excluding Selection instead. This will make locating all records with extended property fields much easier.

i.You can also drag the HasExtProps field up into the Grouping Area to quickly sort all records into two different groups, and then expand the Y group to view those records.

4.Either click on the Toggle Extended Property View button in the Toolbar, or from the Menu select View > Extended Properties. This will open a new pane to the right (shown).

5.You are now ready to perform any other operations related to these extended property fields for your active Case File. Read below for more information concerning the extended properties pane.

The Extended Properties Pane

This pane will list all the Extended Properties fields available for records currently selected within the Grid View under the left column, along with the value stored within each of those fields under the right column. You can click+drag left or right on the lines that separate these columns to change their column widths.

These listed fields can be sorted into either a Categorized (shown) or Alphabetical order by clicking on the appropriate button at the top of the pane:

•Categorized - The EP fields are be grouped based on how they were created during import:

oOffice Properties - These fields come from Microsoft Office metadata, and are generated based on the metadata settings that were established before electronic documents were imported.

oCustom Metadata - These fields are generated from the custom metadata that was pulled from electronic documents as they were imported. Their EP field names are determined by the metadata itself as it was found presented within that document.

•Alphabetical - The EP fields are simply organized from A-Z by field name.

Creating PST Files

1.Begin by clicking from the Toolbar in the Main User Interface.

2.With the Standalone Grid View now open, from the Menu select Tools > Create Outlook PST.... The Create Outlook PST window opens (shown).

3.Notice the Root Output Folders section:

i.The left column shows the name of each top-level message folder to be created within the new PST file, defaulting to the folder names being used within the Case Database for their associated records.

ii.The column on the right shows the file path of the source messages that were originally imported into LAW.

4.If you want to change the names of the message folders being created for this PST file, left-click on their names under the left column in the Root Output Folders section and edit them as desired.

5.Click on Browse... to the right of the Output File section. This will open a File Explorer, allowing you to choose a name and location for the new PST file.

6.Click on Open once finished with your selections. The Output File section updates with the name and location chosen.

7.When you're ready to create the new PST file, click on OK at the bottom-right. This operation may take several minutes to finish.

i.Progress is shown at the top-left, displayed as a Creating Mail Store... percentage of completion.

8.Once completed, the PST Creation Status dialog window appears, indicating the results of the PST file creation. Click on OK to finish.

Creating Control Lists

Control Lists are LST files that can be used to import text from Case File records into CT Summation or other applications. For each record displayed in the Control List, their BegDoc# and a file path to the associated OCR-created or extracted text is shown. During the creation of this list, you can determine whether or not these text files are also exported to the same location as the Control List. For much longer lists of text files, multiple folders will instead be automatically created at that location to store them. By default, LAW will only extract 1000 text files into each of these folders.

For configuration instructions on changing text file export limit, refer to the Control List Export Configuration topic.

These Control Lists can either be created using records displayed within the Standalone Grid View (explained below), or by exporting case documents with the Export Utility (enabled within the Options tab).

1.Begin either by performing a search with the Database Query Builder, or by clicking from the Toolbar of the Main User Interface.

2.With the Standalone Grid View now open, from the Menu select Tools > Build Control List.

3.The Build Control List dialog prompt appears. Determine which choice below best suits your needs:

1)If you want to export all associated text files to folders within the same location as your Control List, then click Yes at this prompt, and continue to step 4.

2)If you only want the Control List created, then click No and skip to step 5.

4.The Select OCR Destination Folder window opens (shown). Navigate to a folder to be used as the location for the new Control List and its associated text files, and then click on Accept at the bottom-right. Skip to step 6.

i.Case File database folders cannot be selected as the destination folder.

5.A File Explorer opens, allowing you to choose a name and location for your new Control List. Once you've made your selection, click on Save at the bottom-right.

6.Once the list has been created, the Build Control List dialog prompt appears again. Click Yes to open and view the new list. Otherwise, click No to finish.
