TIFF on the Fly
You can now create a TIFF image of native documents on the fly while you are looking at a document in Natural panel
in Case Review. You can then perform annotations on the image of the document.

Editing in Grid View
In the Item List panel, in Grid view, you can now edit select fields directly in the grid. This allows you to code data without
using the coding panel. You can alter data for text, numbers, dates, issues, and categories.

Subset Searching
You can now run a subset search of an initial search in order to refine your search. Subset searches also allow you to
return to your previous search and they appear in your recent searches.

Database Caching
You can now cache your filter results so that if you use the same filters a lot, your results will appear faster.

Migrating from Summation iBlaze and Enterprise
You can now migrate your Summation iBlaze and Enterprise databases to Summation 4.1. Contact Technical Support
or your Technical Account Manager for more information on migrating your database.

Loading Data Consistency
Now when you load data using Evidence Processing and Import, you will now have consistency in fields for documents
brought into Summation using either of these methods. With this consistency, you will be able to more accurately filter
records.

Virtual Columns
You can now search for virtual columns in the Case Review. Virtual columns are columns in records that contain data
that does not have a physical column in the database.

Production Sets
You can now select to include the original file name and original file path in your Production Set.

Case managers can use the Permissions tab on the Home page to add users and groups to a case and
grant case permissions.

Configuring Review Tools
The following review tools can be configured by the case manager.

Markup Sets
You can create a grouping for reviewers’ annotations to be saved under. This gives you the ability
to give users access to specific markup sets. Also, it allows you to have different sets of redactions
if you are redacting for different purposes. These different sets can be combined during Production
Set creation. You can toggle between sets in the Natural viewer.

Highlight Profiles
You can create profiles that highlight keywords in the Natural panel in Case Review. This feature
enables reviewers to quickly spot important keywords in documents.

Custom Fields
You can create custom fields that can be used to create tagging layouts.

Tagging Layouts
You can create a collection of custom fields that reviewers can use to code documents in the Case
Review. This feature allows you to create a custom layout for reviewers that contains the important
information for their workflow to help streamline the review process. This feature replaces the forms
that were used in iBlaze.

Setting up Review
Case managers can use the Case Review page to set up the review for users to review documents. The
following features are available for case managers in the review interface.

Document Groups
You can add document groups to organize uploaded evidence. You can assign permissions to
document groups. Document groups support "blended collections," which means that different
document types (scanned paper doc, edoc, and email) can be stored in the same group.

Transcripts and Exhibits
You can upload unlimited transcripts and exhibits for review. Exhibits are searchable and you can
assign permissions to transcript groups. There is a better handling of unicode Transcripts and
foreign language (i.e. French).

Review Sets
You can create sets of documents and assign them to users for review. Users can then check out
the review sets, and review and code the documents in the set before checking them back in. This
is a way for you to track the progress of document reviews.

Tags
You can create Labels, Issues, and Categories for users to apply to documents.
Labels: You can color code labels and apply to documents in the Case Review.
Issues: The case manager can create issues which can then be coded into documents by the
case reviewer.
Categories: The case manager can create category values for check boxes or radio buttons
which can then be coded into documents by the case reviewer.

Production Sets and Exports
Case managers can create Production Sets in the Case Review from labeled evidence. Creating a
Production Set is easy to follow with the Production Set Wizard. You can choose one or more markup
sets to burn into your Production Set so that you can see annotations and highlights in your exported
data.
Case managers can use the export feature on the Home page to export previously created Production
Set data. You can now export Production Sets to standard load files.

Processing
Summation includes the ingestion of raw native files, parsing the metadata from those files into
database fields, and providing a search capability to those files in Case Review. Using the Evidence
Processing Wizard, you can easily process PST & NSF files (email containers) and handling of DII and
CSV has been streamlined and improved.

Reviewer Features
Reviewers can view, search, filter, label, code and annotate documents using the Case Review page. You can
also review the history of actions performed in the Case Review for each document. The following features are
available to the case reviewer.

Customizing Panels
The Case Review is made up of panels that reviewers can customize to meet their work flow. Panels
can be moved, hidden, shown, and docked. Reviewers can then save their customized layout for
repeated use.

Viewing Documents
Reviewers can view documents using the following panels in Case Review:
Natural: You can view the document without requiring the native application to be installed on
your computer. You can make redactions, annotations, and notes in this view. In Natural view,
you can redact annotate by selecting text without first creating an image.
Image: You can view, redact, and annotate image documents.
Text: You can view the document's content as text.

Mass Actions
Using the mass operations feature in the Item List panel, you can perform actions (labeling, coding,
imaging) on many documents all at once. This can be used on any set of records from search results or
an filtered data set. This feature also allows you include, in the action, documents related to the records
that you have checked (i.e. family documents, similar documents, and linked documents).

Transcripts
You can view transcripts using the Transcript panel. This panel allows you to annotate, highlight, and
add notes to transcripts. You can print and create reports for transcripts.

Conversations
The Conversation panel in Case Review displays email conversation threads and emails from a cluster.
The Conversation panel shows any compilation of related messages that makes up a conversation and
email messages from a cluster that contain similar text. This feature will save you time when sifting
through email records.

Linking Documents
Reviewers can use the Natural and Transcript panels to link highlighted text to other documents in the
case. The Linked panel can be used to see the links for the selected document.

Searching Documents
Reviewers can search through documents using the Case Review search features to find relevant
evidence. The search results are presented with a relevancy ranking. The following search features are
available:
Quick Search: You can search through the documents in the Item List panel using keyword or
boolean search terms.
Advanced Search: Advanced search is an improved query builder that allows you to search
from a specified search scope of documents using keywords, regular expressions, fuzzy,
stemming, phonic, related, or synonym searches. You can also search by the data in the fields
of the documents. Term Expansion is a concept search that is also included in the advanced
search.
Recent Searches: The 10 most recent searches are saved in the Recent Searches for you to
run again, if desired.
Save Searches: You can save your advanced searches in My Searches to be run again.
Share Searches: You can share your searches with other user groups.

Filtering Documents
Reviewers can use Case Review to filter out documents and find relevant evidence. The following filter
features are available:
Facet Filters: Use the pre-defined filter facets to exclude documents from the Item List panel
and cull down the evidence. Some of the pre-defined filter facets include: filtering based on
custodians associated with the case, filtering based on the email senders domain, filtering
based on email date, filtering by file size, etc...
Column Filters: Filter out documents in the Item List panel by selecting the data you want to
view from each column. This “spreadsheet-like” feature displays the number of items in each
column so you know how many documents have data in that column before you set the filter.

Applying Tags
Reviewers can organize evidence by applying tags to documents. The following tags are available:

Labels:

Apply labels to documents using the Labeling panel and the mass actions in the Item
List.
Issues: Categorize documents into issues by coding the issue to the document using the
Coding panel and the mass actions in the Item List.
Categories: Code documents for custom categories using the Coding panel and the mass
actions in the Item List.

Imaging Documents
Reviewers can use the mass actions in the Item List panel to convert multiple documents to images.

Known Issues
The following are known issues:
Newly

created Issues and Categories in Case Review do not appear in the Bulk Coding window unless
the program is refreshed. (62667)

You

must left click and then right-click to remove a new highlight in a transcript without first refreshing
the document. (61895)

Newly

created Issues and Categories will not appear in the Coding layout until the application is
refreshed. (63973)

BegDocID

is not available as a viewable column in the Item List panel. (64256)

In

the Alternate View window, Natural panel never completes loading records when there are no
Tagging Layouts for the case. (64760)

Users

with the Manage Admin Roles, Manage Users, or Manage User Groups permission have the
ability to upgrade themselves or other users to system administrators. (65045)

Transcript

View does not label preamble pages correctly. (60554)

If

you have documents coded with a child level issue, and you attempt to delete the parent level issue,
you will receive an error. (64550)

Changing

the case of a letter from upper case to lower case or vice versa for a Tag, Label, Category or
Transcript View name will not be saved. However, if you need to change the case of any of the characters
in these item names, change the character to another letter, save your changes, and then go back and
update the character to the correct letter and case. (64714)

Deleting

a Tagging Layout with fields still in it results in an error. (64793)

The

following fields can be added to the coding layout, but will cause an error to occur during editing:
(62598):
 Deponent
 DepositionDate
 EventTime
 ModelNumber
 SerialNumber
 FSLocator

Logicalsize

and PhysicalSize columns with negative values mean "unknown" or "unavailable." (64999)

Entering

a bad path when exporting a Production Set will result in the inability to export any Production
Sets until the system is restarted. (65353)

You

cannot overwrite a copied case with another copy when using the Copy Case utility. (65283)

Review

sets cannot have the same batch prefix. (65673)

Embedded

documents from a Word 2003 file format will not be expanded after processing. (65615)

E01

and AD1 files brought into Summation using Evidence Processing will not expand to display
documents within the file. (65594, 65133)

If

two users are labeling the same documents concurrently, only the last user's labels will be saved.
Workaround: Use review sets and only have one user assigned to each review set. (65066)

When

redacting native documents, the output from a Production Set is a PDF file. This PDF file is a
layered document with one of the layers being the redaction. If you have a PDF creation tool, you can
open the produced "native" and remove the redaction. Workaround: Create a rendered image instead of
the native. (63258)

Keywords

are not highlighted in Natural view when a highlight profile is selected. (61104)
