1 User guide overview
When working with Relativity as a reviewer, it's important to familiarize yourself with the software's many
features.
This guide outlines Relativity’s capabilities and walks you through how you can best use Relativity for
document review, from logging in to creating a word index inside a workspace.

1.1 Navigation
Relativity is an application with many screens and functions. This section describes the Review Interface
you use to review documents and some of the standard procedures you'll need to perform as you use the
product.

1.1.1 Logging in
Relativity offers several ways to log in and it's possible to have two or more methods available to you. Your
system admin will provide you with all the information you need to log on. Contact your system admin if you
have additional questions.
For procedures to log in, see Logging in to Relativity.

1.1.2 Tab navigation

When you log in to Relativity, you see tabs displayed in the sidebar on the left side of the page. You may
also be able to access tabs using the tab strip, which runs horizontally across the top of the page. The
sidebar and tab strip display the currently available tabs whether you are on the instance or workspace-
level. The active tab in the sidebar is indicated by the tab icon displaying in orange and in the tab strip, the
active tab is indicated by an orange line displaying under the name.
The tabs are arranged based on the order value for each tab.
You can navigate tabs using the following features.

1.1.2.1 Sidebar
The sidebar allows you to place tabs that you commonly use on the left-side of Relativity so that you can
access them at your convenience.

User Guide 7
Tabs are ordered from top to bottom of the sidebar based on the value entered in Order. The lowest order
value displays at the top and the highest value displays at the bottom.
The total number of tabs that display in the sidebar is determined by the resolution of your browser. Tabs
that have been assigned to the sidebar and do not fit, are available by hovering your cursor over the More
icon. If a tab has one or more child tabs, you can view and select those tabs by hovering over the parent
tab's row in the fly-out menu.

User Guide 8
The More icon will display with an orange bar on the right side More to indicate that the active tab is located
in the More menu.
To add a new or pre-existing tab to the sidebar, toggle the Show in Sidebar on and click Save.

Tabs can display in the sidebar with their name and icon. Alternatively, to reduce the width of the sidebar
and increase the number of icons that can display, you can click the collapse arrow icon to only display the
icon for each tab.

User Guide 9
1.1.3 All tabs menu

Click the icon at the bottom of the sidebar to display the All tabs menu. Every child tab that a user can
view, as determined by their permissions, will display in the menu in alphabetic order. This menu does not
display parent tabs.

User Guide 10
1.1.4 Tab strip
If you select a tab that either has child tabs or is a child tab to a parent tab, the tab strip will display
horizontally across the top of Relativity. If a tab in the tab strip has one or more children tabs, hover your
cursor over it to view and select the desired tab. Depending on the size of your browser, there may be more
tabs than can display in the tab strip. You can hover your cursor over More in the tab strip to view additional
tabs in a fly-out menu.

User Guide 11
1.1.4.1 Parent and child tab display
Parent tabs can be displayed in the sidebar or the tab strip. Tabs that have child tabs in the tab strip will
display with an arrow on the right side.

To view the child tabs of a parent tab in the sidebar or tab strip, hover your cursor over the parent tab and
the child tabs will display in a fly-out menu.

User Guide 12
When you select a child tab from the sidebar or the tab strip, you are taken to that page. For example,
Production Sets. In addition to an orange bar displaying underneath the parent tab in the sidebar, the child
tab and the path to reach the active tab is highlighted in blue to help you track your location in the sidebar or
the tab strip.

Instead of clicking the drop-down arrow, you can also click the parent tab itself. Clicking the parent tab takes
you to the default child tab, which is identified by the order setting for each child tab.

1.1.5 User options

When you first log in to Relativity, you see the default Home tab. Relativity displays the Workspaces tab as
your default Home tab when you navigate to Home. You can change the default Home tab to be any tab you
want.
You can click your avatar in the upper-right corner to see the user drop-down menu. The avatar contains the
initials of your first and last name

1.1.5.1 Changing the default Home tab

Relativity displays the Workspaces tab as your default Home tab when you navigate to Home. You can
change the default Home tab to be any tab that is available for default and that is not a specific tab within a
workspace.
Perform the following steps to change the default Home tab:

User Guide 13
 1. Navigate to the Tabs tab.
2. Click on the tab you want to set as the default Home tab.
3. Click the Edit icon in the row of the tab you wish to edit.
4. Toggle the Set as Default Tab field on.
5. Click Save.

Note: If a user is not a member of a group with permission to view the tab set as the default Home tab,
Relativity redirects to the lowest ordered tab the user's permissions allow.

1.1.5.2 My settings
Clicking My Settings from within the user drop-down menu opens a settings mode pop-up, which displays
your user information. Click Edit to change your settings.

n First name—your first name.

n Last name—your last name.

Note: Your first and last name appear as your username throughout Relativity.

n Email address—your email address and login.

n Skip Default Preference—when reviewing documents, skip prevents a reviewer seeing documents
that are already coded, depending on the selected view. Choose one of the following options:
o Normal—this setting disables the skip feature.
o Skip—this setting turns on the skip feature.

n Default Filter Visibility—determines whether or not the filters for columns in views display by
default.
o Hidden—hides filters by default.
o Visible—displays filters by default.
n Item list page length—a numeric field indicating the default list length for all lists in Relativity. It can
be set from 1-200.

User Guide 14
 n Default Selected File Type—the default viewer mode used when first loading the Viewer. Viewer,
Native, Image, Long Text, or Production. If the mode selected is not available, the Viewer will instead
use the first available option. See Viewer on page 70 for details.
n Default Saved Search Owner—determines whether saved searches are public or private by
default. If set to Public, the search is public and all users with rights to it can see it. If set to Logged in
User, the search is private and only the logged in user is able to see it.

Note: Depending on your permissions, you may not have rights to edit the Default Saved
Search Owner field.

n Native Viewer Cache Ahead—if checked, this field pre-loads the next native document in your
review queue when the active document is loaded.
n User-Group Email Notifications—user's preference for email notifications when adding or deleting
Users or Groups.
o All Emails—receive all email notifications.
o No Emails—receive no email notifications.
o Only Failed Operations—receive email notifications on failed operations only.

Note: Depending on your permissions, you may not have rights to edit the User-Group Email
Notifications field.

After changing your settings as needed, click Save.

1.1.5.3 Dashboards
When you've created a page configuration you'd like to preserve, you can create a customized dashboard.
You can save multiple dashboards to quickly change the page configuration. The item list and any widgets
on the dashboard will update automatically in response to filtering or searching. Dashboards only report on
data within the workspace you are in.

Note: For a list of dashboards that provide an effective starting point for administrators to help review
teams visualize their data set, see Common commonly-used dashboards in the Admin Guide.

User Guide 15
The page initially appears with the folder browser on the top left, the search panel on the bottom left and the
item list to the right. Within this new framework, you have multiple options for customizing your display.
You can resize, move, or collapse any panel on the page, including any widgets you create.

n To resize any panel, hover over the line separating the item list from the panel until you see the
mouse pointer change to horizontal arrows, then click and drag.
n To move, hover over the top of the panel until you see the Multi-Direction Cursor icon. Then, click and
drag the panel to the new location.
n To collapse the search panel or browser pane, click the Collapse icon. Once collapsed, click the
Show Browser Panel icon to restore the browser pane or the Show Search Panel icon to restore
the search panel.
Additionally, you can drag and drop panels to rearrange on the page. Click any panel and drag it to a new
location. The other panels will automatically move to accommodate the panel you're dropping.
Dashboards and widgets can be copied over to newly created workspaces if they are part of a template.
Dashboards only report on data within the workspace you are in if data is loaded in the workspace.

Note: You must have the correct workspace permissions to add, edit, or save a dashboard and to save
pivot widgets to your dashboard.
You can also export individual Pivot widgets to Excel or to PNG format from each widget's context menu.
See Exporting a Pivot widget in the Admin Guide for more information.

User Guide 16
 Note: To enable the Add Widgets button and Pivot functionality for an Relativity Dynamic Object (RDO),
you must select Enabled for the Pivot property in the Object Type Information section for the object.

Creating a dashboard
To create a dashboard:

1. Click the Dashboards drop-down menu in the top right corner of the screen.

Note: You can only access the drop-down if Pivot is Enabled for the given object type.

2. Click New Dashboard to save the current page configuration as a new dashboard.
3. Enter a name and an order number for the dashboard.

Note: The dashboard with the lowest order number will appear by default when you log in to Relativity.

Adding widgets to a dashboard

You can add the following widgets to customize your dashboard:

n Pivot charts and tables—you can use Pivot to summarize data in tables or charts to visually ana-
lyze trends in your data.
n Cluster visualizations—on the Documents tab, you can use Relativity Cluster Visualization to
render your cluster data as an interactive visual map by adding a Cluster Visualization widget. This
offers you a quick overview of your document cluster sets and quickly drill into each cluster set to view
sub-clusters and conceptually-related clusters of documents. Please note that there may be only one
cluster visualization widget per dashboard.
n Communication Analysis—after running the name normalization operation within structured ana-
lytics, you can use this widget to visualize communication frequencies, patterns, and networks
between the entities linked to the documents in the view.

Note: When you reach the maximum number of widgets allowed on a dashboard, the Add Widget button
will be grayed out and a tooltip displays when you hover over it that lets you know the reason you cannot
add any additional widgets to your dashboard. This is controlled by the MaxNumberDashboardWidgets
instance setting.

Saving changes to a dashboard

You can also make changes on the fly and save a dashboard with the changes. If a dashboard has not been
saved, an orange notification displays in the Dashboard drop-down menu until it is saved.

1. Click the Dashboards drop-down menu in the top right corner of the screen to display the list of dash-
boards available on the current tab.
2. Click Save to save the changes to the existing dashboard. Click Save As to save the page con-
figuration as a new dashboard, and then enter a Name and Order number.

Note: If a dashboard is part of a locked application, the option to save the dashboard is unavailable.

User Guide 17
Deleting a dashboard
To delete a dashboard from the current tab you are in, click the Delete icon to the right of the dashboard you
want to delete in the Dashboards drop-down menu.
Click Delete in the Delete Dashboard Confirmation pop-up window to delete the dashboard.

Note: If a dashboard is part of a locked application, the option to delete the dashboard is unavailable.

Renaming a dashboard
To rename a dashboard:

1. Click on the Edit icon next to the name of the dashboard in the Dashboard drop-down menu.
2. Enter a Name and an Order number for the dashboard. The order number controls the order in which
the dashboard displays in the list.

Note: If a dashboard is part of a locked application, the option to edit the dashboard is unavailable.

1.1.5.4 Using the search panel

While working in the Document list in the new UI framework, you can use the search panel to filter your data.

1.1.6 Resetting your password

There are two ways you can reset your password if your system admin has given you the appropriate
permissions. You can use the Reset Password option inside Relativity or the Forgot your password? link
on the Relativity login screen.

Note: If your password has expired, the Reset Password dialog appears automatically when you log in to
Relativity. Your system admin determines when your password expires and the number of previous
passwords that you cannot reuse.

1.1.6.1 Resetting your password inside Relativity

If you're already logged in to Relativity, you can reset your password by clicking Reset Password in the
Home drop-down menu. This directs you to a Reset Password pop-up dialog.
Enter your old password, then enter and retype your new password. Click Save.

User Guide 18
You can use your new password next time you log in to Relativity.

1.1.6.2 Resetting your password outside Relativity

If you cannot log in to Relativity because you've forgotten your password, perform the following steps to
reset your password.

1. Click Forgot your password? on the login screen.

2. Enter your email address in the pop-up dialog.
Relativity sends an email to the address you provide. You should receive this message within a few
minutes. If you do not receive an email, check your spam or junk mail folder.
3. Click the link in the email to reset your password. This link will be active for 15 minutes and expires
after that time. If the link has expired, or if you click the link more than once, you'll have to generate a
new password reset request.
4. The link directs you to a page where you can create a new password.
5. Enter a new password and retype it, then click Submit. After your password successfully resets,
you'll get a message prompting you to log in with your new password. An email will be sent to the
address you entered, notifying you that your password reset was successful.

1.1.7 Favorites
The Favorites menu contains all your bookmarks (Favorites) and the last 10 pages in your browsing history
(Recents). The Favorites menu can be accessed by clicking the Favorites icon in the upper-right part of the
page.

User Guide 19
Use Favorites to quickly navigate the Relativity application. If you visit a particular page on a regular basis,
minimize the number of clicks it takes to get there by adding the page as a favorite.
To mark a page as a favorite, click the star to the right of the breadcrumbs at the top of the page. The star
turns yellow and Relativity adds the page to the Favorites section. Relativity doesn't limit the number of
pages you can mark as a favorite.

Relativity records pages in the Recents section on each page load. That means that pop-up windows aren't
recorded as Recents.

User Guide 20
 Note: If you're a system admin, you can turn off this feature by editing the RecentHistoryEnabled and
FavoritesEnabled instance setting values. You can also change the number of Recents the Favorites
menu displays by editing the RecentHistoryNumberOfItemsDisplays instance setting value.

1.1.8 Quick nav

Quick nav can be used to quickly search for and navigate to any workspace or tab in Relativity. To access
quick nav, click the Quick nav search box in the upper right corner of Relativity, or use the keyboard shortcut
Ctrl+/.

Note: Verify that the quick nav Ctrl+/ keyboard shortcut works on custom pages. Contact Customer
Support with any problems.

Open quick nav, and type the name of any tab or workspace.

Any tab or workspace that contains the character string within the name appears in the list of results.
Results appear after you type more than one character, and they refine with each character you type. The
results link you directly to the tab or workspace in Relativity.

Note: In Relativity terms, the search works the same as a leading and trailing wildcard search.

You can click on any result or use the up and down arrow keys to move through the results. Press Enter to
navigate to the selected item.
Your search remains until the page is refreshed or you navigate to a new tab. The Esc key also clears your
search from quick nav. If no text is entered in the quick nav search field, the Esc key closes quick nav. You
can also click anywhere outside the quick nav window to close it.
Quick nav displays three types of results in the following order:

n Workspace tabs—lists all workspace tabs that fit the search criteria and are available with your per-
mission settings.

Note: This item only appears when you are in a workspace.

n Admin Tabs—lists all admin tabs that fit the search criteria and are available with your permission
settings.
n Workspaces—lists all workspaces that fit the search criteria and are available with your permission
settings. Click the workspace to go to the default tab for that workspace.
Quick nav results only reflect items available with your permission settings.

Using quick nav

Imagine you're a system admin in a workspace within Relativity, and a user emails you with a
password reset request. You press Ctrl+/ and type the letters “use”. The results filter to only
contain Admin and Workspace tab names with the letters u-s-e.
The results display a Users tab in the Admin tabs section. You click the Users tab and find the
user who needs a password reset in the list. Once their password is reset, you use quick nav to
get back to the workspace you were previously working in.

User Guide 21
The following list highlights more features of quick nav functionality.

n Type the word "home" in quick nav to navigate to your default Home tab.
n Quick nav is enabled or disabled with the QuickNavEnabled instance setting.
n Quick nav is available to look up workspaces and admin tabs from Home for groups assigned the Use
Quick Nav admin permission, and it is available to look up tabs in a workspace for groups assigned
the Use Quick Nav workspace permission.
n The maximum number of returned quick nav search results is limited to any number between 2-50,
but the default is 20.
n The maximum number of searchable characters is 50.

When you create a highlight, a colored box appears in the area you select, just like using a highlighter.

2.1.1 Creating highlights

To create a highlight:

1. Click the Highlight Color icon.

Blue is the default color. Click the drop-down menu to select a different color.
2. Draw the highlight across the sections of text you want to highlight.
When you create a highlight, it appears in the Markup Navigation Pane. See Using the Markup Navigation
pane on page 35.

2.2 Redactions
A redaction hides text on a page. In Relativity, you can create several different types of redactions:

n Creating basic redactions below

n Creating inverse redactions on the next page
n Creating full-page redactions on the next page
n Creating mass redactions on page 30
When you create a redaction, it appears in the Markup Navigation Pane. See Using the Markup Navigation
pane on page 35.

2.2.1 Creating basic redactions

To apply a basic redaction to a document:

1. Click the Redaction Type icon.

The black redaction tool is the default. Click the drop-down menu to select a different tool. You can
select from the following:
n Black Redaction—creates a solid black box, like using a black marker. While you draw the
box, a gray translucent fill appears.
n Cross Redaction—creates a white redaction box black border and a black X from corner to
corner.

User Guide 28
 n Text Redaction—creates a white redaction box with black text. The text will fill the box by
default. To change the font size, keep the redaction box selected and click Font Size, and then
select a new font size from the drop-down menu. You can right-click a textbox redaction to
apply different text. See Editing redaction text on page 33. The system admin determines
which text options are available.
n White Redaction—creates a solid white box with a gray border. The gray border does not
print or produce.
2. Draw the redaction boxes across the sections of the page you want to redact. You can draw in any dir-
ection.

2.2.2 Creating inverse redactions

An inverse redaction creates a black redaction across the full page except on the locations where you draw
boxes. To create an inverse redaction, perform the following steps:

1. Click the Redaction Mode icon and select Inverse Redact from the drop-down menu.
2. Draw the inverse redaction boxes across the sections of the page you do not want to redact.
A blue cast indicates where you will add the black redaction, and the white box indicates the area that
is not redacted. You can move or re-size the white box using the controls. You can also highlight text
that is not redacted.

2.2.3 Creating full-page redactions

A full-page redaction creates a redaction across the entire page. To apply a full-page redaction, click the
Redaction Mode icon and select Full-Page Redact from the drop-down menu. The black full page

User Guide 29
redaction tool is the default. Click the Redaction Type drop-down menu to select a different tool. You can
select from the following:
n Black Redaction—creates a solid black box, like using a black marker.
n Cross Redaction—creates a white redaction box with a black border and a black X from corner to
corner.
n Text Redaction—creates a white redaction box with black text. You can right-click a text box
redaction to apply different text. See Editing redaction text on page 33. The system admin determines
which text options are available.
n White Redaction—creates a solid white box with a gray border. The gray border will not be printed or
produced.
You can also create a keyboard shortcut to apply a full-page redaction. See Creating keyboard shortcuts in
the Admin guide.
After you apply a full-page redaction, you can resize it to make it smaller than the full page and then work
with it like a normal redaction. Additionally, you can create new redactions on top of a full-page redaction if
desired.

2.2.4 Creating mass redactions

You can use the mass redact option to apply full-page redactions of any type to a set of pages in your
document. To apply mass redactions:

1. Click the Redaction Mode icon and select Mass Redact from the drop-down menu.
The Mass Redact Options pop-up appears.
2. Select the type of redaction to apply. You can select from the following:

n Black—creates a solid black box, like using a black marker.

n Cross—creates a white redaction box with a black border and a black X from corner to corner.

User Guide 30
 n Text—creates a white redaction box with black text. In the Text Options section, you can select
the font size and text to apply to the redactions. To apply custom text, select <Enter
Custom Text> from the Text drop-down menu, then enter the text in the Text field.
n White—creates a solid white box with a gray border. The gray border will not print or produce.

redaction, the most recently applied full-page redaction appears on top. If you then delete the second
redaction, the first full-page redaction persists.

2.4.1 Working with overlapping markups

If you have multiple markups on a page that overlap each other, when you hover over the markups,
translucent controls appear. Click the markup you want to work with, and the controls become active to
indicate which markup is active. In the following example, the black box redaction is active.

2.4.2 Working with markups outside of page boundaries

If you have markups that exist outside the boundaries of an image, such as those created by custom
applications, they will render in their currently saved coordinates in the Viewer. Interacting with the markup
by attempting to move or select it will move the markup within the page boundaries. This change is saved
and audited in the workspace.

User Guide 32
2.4.3 Editing redaction text with a markup set
When you create a text redaction, it will display the most recent word or phrase you entered while editing a
redaction. If you have never edited or created a text redaction before, it will display Redacted instead.
To perform this task you need the permissions for the markup sets object as well as the individual markup

Relativity updates the active markup set to the one associated with your row selection in the Markup
Navigation pane.

User Guide 35
3 Persistent highlight sets
With persistent highlight sets you can configure and apply term highlighting to assist with document review
in the Viewer. In the Persistent Highlight Sets pane of the Viewer, you can see all sets saved in a workspace
and apply or hide term highlights in the document you are reviewing.
If a document you are reviewing contains any of the terms specified in a set, the list of terms and the number
of times they appear in the document appear under the set. If a document contains no terms from the set,
you can not expand or collapse the set in the tree. If the document contains some terms in the set, only the
terms that exist in the document appear below the set name.

System admins can control which highlight sets different users see when working within a document. See
Workspace security in the Admin guide.
Persistent highlight sets are independent of markup sets. See Markup sets in the Admin guide.

3.1 Getting started with persistent highlight sets

You create persistent highlight sets in the Persistent Highlight Sets tab of a workspace. Each set includes
a list of terms populated manually or from a source field in the set configuration. After you create a persistent
highlight set, the set and its terms are available in the Persistent Highlight Sets pane of the Viewer.
The following persistent highlight set includes several terms with highlight color-coding. See Color-coding
persistent highlights on page 45 for more information.
This set is available when a user opens the viewer and any edits made to this set are reflected immediately.

3.1.1 Showing and hiding persistent highlight sets in the Viewer

To view the list of available persistent highlights sets and related terms in the Persistent Highlight Sets
pane, click the Persistent Highlighting icon in the left drawer.

Click the next to a persistent highlight set to expand it and show the list of terms from that set found in the
document. By default, all persistent highlight sets are enabled in the Viewer, and terms found in a document
are selected in the Persistent Highlight Sets pane and highlighted in the document. Click a persistent

highlight set's name or the icon to hide all term highlights from the set in the Viewer. When a persistent

highlight set's icon is and the terms appear partially transparent in the Persistent Highlight Sets pane,
the term highlights for the set are hidden in the Viewer.

User Guide 37
Clear a term's check box to hide its highlights in the Viewer. Select its check box to apply highlighting for the
term in the Viewer again.
If any of the set’s terms are not present in the current document open in the Viewer, they do not display in
the Persistent Highlight Sets pane. For example, if you created a set named Investments that contains five
highlight terms, and only three of the terms show in the pane for a particular document, the other two terms
are not present in the document.
You can navigate through the hits for a persistent highlight set or for a term while viewing a document in the
Viewer. Click on either the persistent highlight set or the desired term in the Persistent Highlight Sets pane
and the Go to Next/Previous Highlights icons display in the row.

You can use the Next/Previous icons to cycle through the hits for either the persistent highlight set or the

highlighted term. Regardless of where you are in a document, when you click the Next icon for the first
time, you will be taken to the first highlight in the document for that persistent highlight set or term. Even if
you have moved past it while browsing the document.
Clicking the Next/Previous icons also emphasizes the actively navigated highlight with an orange glow to
help you track which one is active.

User Guide 38
When you select a persistent highlight term in the Persistent Highlight Sets pane, in addition to highlighting
all instances of that term in the body of an email, the Viewer also highlights instances of the term in the email
header.

The number of terms and hits is listed to the left of the persistent highlight set's name. It is possible to have
many highlight sets enabled but no highlights appear in a document.
Selections made in the Persistent Highlight Sets pane persist throughout a user's session in Relativity. This
includes any of the following changes related to the Persistent Highlight Sets pane in the Viewer:

n Showing or hiding the Persistent Highlight Sets pane.

n Enabling or disabling a persistent highlight set.

User Guide 39
 n Expanding or collapsing the term list for a persistent highlight set.
n Checking or clearing terms check boxes in a persistent highlight set.

3.1.2 Recent searches in the Persistent Highlight Sets pane

In addition to accessing persistent highlight sets, you can also search for terms and highlight any matches
temporarily using the Your recent searches section. You can perform either dtSearch or Keyword searches
from this section.

You can also search using the search bar on the document list. The search bar lets you choose a search
index, find search term matches, and then view matches in the Your recent searches section across
different documents. The search term matches stay highlighted while navigating between documents as
long as you do not remove the search condition from the search panel or log out of Relativity.

To perform either a dtSearch or Keyword search in the Your recent searches section:

1. Optionally, click on the Persistent Highlighting icon to expand the Persistent Highlight Sets pane.
2. Click the + Add Term button.
3. Enter the desired dtSearch or Keyword search terms in the textbox.
4. Click the Confirm icon or press Enter on your keyboard.
The Your recent searches section updates with the number of matches and any matches are high-
lighted in yellow in the current document.
Optionally, you can select a search in the Your recent searches section and use the Next/Previous icons to

cycle through the matches. Regardless of where you are in a document, when you click the Next icon for

User Guide 40
the first time, you will be taken to the first highlight in the document for that persistent highlight set or term.
Even if you have moved past it while browsing the document.

3.1.3 Navigating highlighted terms in the Viewer

To navigate between terms highlighted on a document in the Viewer, use the Go to Previous Highlight

and Go to Next Highlight icons on the Viewer toolbar.

The Go to Previous Highlight and Go to Next Highlight icons only navigate between terms enabled in
the Persistent Highlight Sets pane.
When navigating through a document's highlighted terms, the following notification displays in the bottom-
left to inform you that you have reached the beginning or end of the document and there are no more
highlights.

3.1.3.1 Actively navigated and inactive highlights

To support advanced highlights within persistent highlight sets, two types colors can be available in the
Viewer - actively navigated and inactive highlights. The colors are the same, but have a different level of
opacity. Active highlights are the highlights that the Viewer is focused on. Active highlights are at full opacity
and inactive highlights are at a lower opacity level. See Color-coding persistent highlights for more
information.

Note: Beginning in Relativity 11.3.1, the auto-contrast feature has been added to color-coding persistent
highlights. This feature automatically determines the text color based off the background color you select
to ensure readability no matter which colors are selected. For example, if the background color is closer to
black, the text will automatically be white or if the background color is closer to white, the text will
automatically be black.

Note: The opacity level of the highlights for proximity searching and inactive terms can be adjusted by
editing the value of the ViewerHighlightStyleDefault instance setting.

3.1.4 Persistent highlight set behavior across Viewers

Note the following regarding persistent highlight set behavior as the reviewer moves from document to
document, changes Viewers, and uses pane toggles:

n Any changes made to a persistent highlight set tree in the panel when the Viewer is undocked, such
as terms selected or unselected, will display when the Viewer is docked again.

User Guide 42
 n A synced standalone Viewer will not display changes made to a persistent highlight set, such as
terms selected or unselected, in the pane of the main Viewer. However, Persistent Highlight Sets
pane settings remain the same in the standalone Viewer as the reviewer goes from doc to doc within
the standalone Viewer.
n The Persistent Highlight Sets pane maintains its current state when you swap Viewer panes.
n The Persistent Highlight Sets pane in the Extracted Text Viewer and Native Viewer are independent
of each other. A change made to the pane in the Extracted Text Viewer is not automatically reflected
when the reviewer switches to the Native Viewer and back.
n Advanced persistent highlighting, available when using a search term report as a highlight field
source, is only available in the Native and Extracted Text Viewer. See Using the highlight fields
source on page 48.
See the Viewer documentation in the Admin Guide.

3.1.5 Persistent highlight behavior

When using a search term report that includes search syntax as a highlights source field, the highlight
behavior is more inclusive than using persistent highlight terms. See Using the highlight fields source on
page 48.
The different levels of opacity occur on a key term and interval term level. The key terms in the search are
high opacity level highlights. The other interval terms picked up with search syntax are highlighted at a lower
opacity level. For example, if you use the search "account w/5 cap" the words "account" and "cap" are
highlighted with the full opacity highlight. The words between "account" and "cap" will have the lower opacity
level highlight.

User Guide 43
3.2 Creating persistent highlight sets
To create a new persistent highlight set, follow these steps.

Note: If you plan to use the Source: Highlight Fields, you may need to create a search terms report. For
more information, see Using the highlight fields source on page 48.

1. Navigate to the Persistent Highlight Sets tab.

2. Click New Persistent Highlight Set.
3. Complete all required fields in the Persistent Highlight Set Information section. See Fields below for
details.

4. Click Save.

Note: Verify that reviewers are not actively reviewing documents when creating persistent highlight sets.
Creating persistent highlight sets while reviewers are actively reviewing documents can cause errors.

3.2.1 Fields
Persistent highlight sets include the following fields.

n Name- the descriptive name under which you want this set to appear in the Viewer and item list.
n Order -the order in which you want this set to appear.
n Source - determines the area the set draws from when designating characters to be highlighted and
displayed in the Viewer. There are two options:

User Guide 44
 o Highlight Fields - designates fields as the source of highlighting. Highlight Fields is capable of
using dtSearch functionality. Selecting this radio button means you must select a Highlight
Field in order to save this set.
o Terms- designates terms as the source of highlighting. Selecting this radio button means you
must enter terms into the Terms field below to save this set.
n Highlight Fields- choose the field referencing the list of terms to be highlighted. Click the Select but-
ton to bring up the system view called Field Picker on Persistent Highlight Sets, which displays the
Name and Object Type for applicable multiple object fields. It also includes those created by search
terms reports. To select the desired Highlight Field, check the field’s box, click Add, and click Set. The
field displays on the layout. See Using the highlight fields source on page 48.

Note: If your search terms report is run against a dtSearch index with a customized alphabet file,
the hits on the STR may not match the highlights rendered in the Viewer. Depending on how the
alphabet file has been customized, you may see fewer highlight hits rendered in the Review Inter-
face.

n Terms - enter terms you wish to highlight and select the color code to distinguish them in the Viewer.
See Entering highlight terms below.

3.3 Entering highlight terms

If you choose Terms as the source of your highlighting, you have to enter the terms in the Terms field text
box to save the new highlight set. You also have the option of applying color-coding to these terms in the
Viewer.

3.3.1 Color-coding persistent highlights

When you enter a term in the Highlight Terms box, you can also specify the color for both the text and the
background. Use the following format to color-code your persistently highlighted text:

User Guide 45
[background color];[text color];[term to be highlighted]
For example, enter “3;16;Relativity” to highlight Relativity with dark green background and white text.

Note: Beginning in Relativity 11.3.1, the auto-contrast feature has been added to color-coding persistent
highlights. This feature automatically determines the text color based off the background color you select
to ensure readability no matter which colors are selected. For example, if the background color is closer to
black, the text will automatically be white or if the background color is closer to white, the text will
automatically be black.

Highlights are rendered at full opacity (using the original highlight color) when they are active. When they
are not active, they will be rendered in a lighter shade of the original highlight color.

Note: The opacity level of the highlights can be adjusted by editing the value of the
ViewerHighlightStyleDefault instance setting.

The following table includes available color codes.

Color name Highlight Color Number

[Default] 0
Black 1
Dark red 2
Dark green 3
Dark yellow 4
Dark blue 5
Dark magenta 6
Dark cyan 7
Light gray 8
Gray 9
Red 10
Green 11
Yellow 12
Blue 13
Magenta 14
Cyan 15
White 16
Light green 17
Light blue 18

Light purple 20

User Guide 46
 Color name Highlight Color Number
Light red 21
Light orange 22
Purple 23
Orange 24
Dark purple 25
Dark orange 26
If you enter terms with no color-coding, the background defaults to magenta and black text.

Note: Default has different implications for text and background. The default background color is white
and the default text color is black.

3.3.2 Guidelines for adding terms or phrases

Use the following guidelines when adding terms or phrases into the Terms text box:

n Enter a term that you want highlighted and press Enter. You can enter multiple terms but each one
must be on a separate line.
n Enter terms for persistent highlighting exactly as they appear in the document. Don't use quotation
marks and connectors.

Note: Quotation marks are not compatible with persistent highlighting with terms as a source,
which automatically searches for an exact phrase. Quotation marks are compatible when using
highlight fields as a source however. Using highlight fields as a source can result in slower doc-
ument loading speeds.

n Keep lists simple. Do not use punctuation, special characters, or operators. Do not use dtSearch syn-
tax when entering a list of terms as the source for the set. You may use dtSearch index terms in a
search terms report, then use Fields as the Persistent Highlight Source instead to support highlights
for dtSearch syntax.
o AND or OR operators are not used in keyword searching. If used, Relativity looks for the exact
phrase including AND or OR. For example, you entered these search terms: Apple AND
Banana. Relativity highlights the entire phrase apple and banana in the document. Separate
occurrences of apple, and occurrences of banana, are not highlighted.
o Persistent highlight set terms do support wildcards. You can view highlighted terms that con-
tain an * (asterisk) character, including a wildcard in the middle of a term. For example:
l term* matches and highlights any word that starts with term with zero or more following
characters.
l *term matches and highlights any word that ends with term with zero or more preceding
characters.
l *term* matches and highlights any word that has term in it with zero or more preceding
or following characters.

User Guide 47
 n Do not enter duplicate terms.
n Identify and remove terms with large hit counts.
n List variations of a term first and enter the root term last.
n If the list of terms is large (>100 terms), use Highlight Fields with a Search Terms Report.

3.4 Using the highlight fields source

Using the Highlight Fields source in a persistent highlight set you can choose a field referencing a list of
terms to highlight.
Select the Highlight Fields option, and then click the Select button to open the Select items - Highlight
Fields modal. This system view displays the Name and Object Type for applicable multiple object fields,
including those created by Search Terms Reports.

Note: Persistent highlights generated by a search terms report don't automatically update after you load
new data into a workspace. To incorporate the text from new documents, perform either a full or
incremental build on the dtSearch Index, then a full or incremental build on the search terms report.

To select a Highlight Field, check the field’s box, click right arrow to move it the right section. Once all of the
desired fields have been selected, click Apply. The field appears on the layout.

Note: We recommend selecting a search terms report or the Domains field as your highlight fields source.

When using a Search Terms Report as the highlight fields source, the number of terms that Relativity
searches for will vary among different records. Relativity only looks for the terms listed in the Search Terms
Report for that document.

User Guide 48
Relativity exhibits similar behavior when using an email Domains field as the highlight fields source.
Relativity only looks for the email domains listed in the field for that document.

User Guide 49
3.4.1 Best practices
Consider the following guidelines when creating or adding terms using Search Terms Reports as the
highlight fields source:

n Enter terms exactly as they appear in the document.

n You can use operators such as AND and OR. For example, if you enter these search terms: Apple
AND Banana, Relativity would highlight the two terms “apple" and "banana” in the document. See
Search terms reports on page 58 for more information.
n Wildcards are useful in some cases. For example, the search term appl* highlights apple, application,
applies, and so on. An excessive use of wildcards affects performance. Leading wildcards such as *it-
ting, are not recommended. Using asterisks in the middle of a term don't count as wildcards.
n dtSearch operators can be used to highlight searches when used for a Persistent Highlight Sets in the
Native Viewer. You must use a Highlight Fields source (such as a Search Terms Report results field)
to use dtSearch syntax. Relativity dtSearch operators are not supported in the Extracted Text Viewer.
The highlights for these searches use the active and inactive highlighting functionality. Actively nav-
igated highlights are the highlights that the Viewer is focused on and display with full opacity. Inactive
highlights display at a lower opacity level.

Note: The increase of dtSearch operators does decrease performance.

User Guide 50
 o Persistent highlight does understand proximity searching. If you enter the phrase Relativity w/5
software as a search term, the search term report uses a dtSearch to find and tag all doc-
uments that meet the criteria. When viewed in the Viewer, the persistent highlighting functions
as a dtSearch.
o Persistent highlights does understand the stemming character (~). If you enter the term apply~
as a search term, the search term report finds and tags all documents with the word apply, or
any document that stems from apply; including applied, applies, application, and so on. When
looking at the document in the Viewer, the persistent highlight functions as a dtSearch. See
Search terms reports on page 58 for information on supported syntax.
o Any operator in quotes will be treated as literal by the Viewer search. For example, stemming
“~” and wildcard “*” operators. However, dtSearch will treat stemming and wild card operators
in quotes not as literal, but as the operator itself. For example, "run~” in the Viewer will find the
exact phrase “run~” and "run~” in dtSearch will return hits for run, runner, running, etc.

3.5 Importing search terms for persistent highlighting

To import search terms to use as a source for persistent highlighting perform the following procedures.

3.5.1 Relativity component setup

Before importing search terms, use the following steps to create a Relativity Dynamic Object to handle the
data.

1. Navigate to the Object Type tab in your workspace.

2. Click New Object Type.
a. Provide a name for the new object in the required Name property.
b. Keep all remaining properties at their default values.
c. Click Save.
3. Navigate to the Fields tab.

3.6 Creating efficient searches for persistent highlighting

Creating efficient searches improves the performance of persistent highlighting, whether you're working
with a Terms Search or Highlight Fields. Use the following guidelines to create efficient searches.

3.6.1 Using terms search

Avoid the following when writing searches for persistent highlighting:

User Guide 54
 n Do not use "AND" or "OR" connectors. Persistent highlighting looks for the exact phrase, trade and
complete, instead of the word, trade, and the word, complete.
n Proximity, fuzziness, and stemming logic cannot be used in a Terms Search. Consider using High-
light Fields to access these search features as described below. The system ignores the dtSearch
syntax. Terms receive no highlight if you use these advanced searching features. The search terms
report Count column still lists the number of matching terms. For example:
o The search term, oil w/10 water, searches for the exact phrase oil w/10 water.
o If you enter the term apply~ as a search term, persistent highlighting technology looks for the
term apply followed by any special character.
n Avoid using terms with a large number of hits per document. Persistent highlighting highlights each
hit. For example, it takes longer to load a Word document containing 1,000 instances of a single term.
n Avoid using terms that only occur once in a document. Use search terms reports for those terms
instead.
n Avoid long lists of numbers, such as Bates numbers or account numbers.
n Do not use duplicate terms.
Use the following techniques to optimize your searches:

n Use the dtSearch Dictionary to identify variations of a term instead of using wildcards.
o Identify which terms should be in the highlight set and which terms are not necessary.
o You may want to avoid highlighting terms with high word counts.

Note: To highlight terms using objects, create a fixed-length text field for your object called Highlight
Colors. You can enter color-coding in this field using the format: [highlight color];[text color].

User Guide 55
3.6.2 Using highlight fields
Consider the following guidelines when creating or adding terms using Search Terms Reports as the
highlight fields source:

n Enter terms exactly as they appear in the document.

n You can use operators such as AND and OR. For example, if you enter these search terms: Apple
AND Banana, Relativity would highlight the two terms “apple" and "banana” in the document. See
Search terms reports on page 58 for more information.
n Wildcards are useful in some cases. For example, the search term appl* highlights apple, application,
applies, and so on. An excessive use of wildcards affects performance. Leading wildcards such as *it-
ting, are not recommended. Using asterisks in the middle of a term don't count as wildcards.
n dtSearch operators can be used to highlight searches when used for a Persistent Highlight Sets in the
Native Viewer. You must use a Highlight Fields source (such as a Search Terms Report results field)
to use dtSearch syntax. Relativity dtSearch operators are not supported in the Extracted Text Viewer.
The highlights for these searches use the active and inactive highlighting functionality. Actively nav-
igated highlights are the highlights that the Viewer is focused on and display with full opacity. Inactive
highlights display at a lower opacity level.

Note: The increase of dtSearch operators does decrease performance.

o Proximity searching logic can be used with Highlight Fields. If you enter the phrase "Relativity
w/5 software" as a search term, the search term report uses a dtSearch to find and tag all doc-
uments that meet the criteria. When viewed in the Viewer, the persistent highlighting functions
as a dtSearch. See Search terms reports on page 58 for information.

User Guide 56
 n Stemming, including the stemming character (~), can also be used with Highlight Fields. If you
enter the term "apply~" as a search term, the search term report finds and tags all documents
with the word apply, or any document that stems from apply; including applied, applies, applic-
ation, and so on. When looking at the document in the Viewer, the persistent highlight functions
as a dtSearch. See Search terms reports on the next page for information.

n In Search Terms Reports, you can the Dictionary Search function to identify search terms using stem-
ming or fuzziness. Copy the list of terms returned in this search. Paste them in the Add Terms box on
the Search Terms Report form. Doing this enhances your search term list, while avoiding errors
caused by special characters.
n Use the dtSearch Dictionary to identify variations of a term instead of using wildcards.
o Identify which terms should be in the highlight set and which terms are not necessary.
o You may want to avoid highlighting terms with high word counts.

6 Searching overview
Relativity includes flexible search features designed to facilitate the document review process. These
features support a range of searching needs from filtering on fields and simple keyword searches to the
development of complex queries. The following list summarizes the searching features available in
Relativity.

6.1 Filters
You can use filters to limit the documents or items that appear in item lists on Relativity tabs and pop-ups.
When you enable the filters for an item list, you can set criteria on single or multiple fields so that only
matching documents or items appear in the view.
Filters query across the searchable set of documents in the active view to return your results. Relativity
supports multiple filter types so that you can choose the best format for different field types. See the
Searching Guide for more information.

6.2 Keyword searches

You can run keyword searches from the Documents tab and from Dynamic Object tabs. With these
searches, you can leverage the basic functionality for querying the SQL full-text index populated with data
from extracted text fields. The keyword search engine supports the use of Boolean operators and wildcards.
See the Searching Guide for more information.

6.3 Saved searches

Saved searches give you the functionality to define and store queries for repeated use. With flexible
settings, you can create a saved search based on any Relativity search engine, assign security permissions
to it, and define specific columns to display your search results. Saved searches support the development of
complex queries that you build using a form with search condition options. These queries run dynamically to
ensure that updated results appear when you access a saved search. See the Searching Guide for more
information.

6.4 dtSearches
Available on the Documents tab, you can use the advanced searching functionality to run queries with
proximity, stemming, and fuzziness operators, along with basic features such as Boolean operators and
wildcards.
System administrators can create a dtSearch index for a specific subset of documents in a workspace, and
then assign security to it. They must manually update indexes when you modify the document search sets
used to create them. See the Searching Guide for more information.

6.5 Analytics
Supporting conceptual searching, Analytics includes documents in a result set when they contain similar
ideas or conceptual relationships, rather than matching specific search terms or conditions.
You can create searches with Analytics that categorize your documents based on the concepts contained in
a sample document set. Instead of categorizing documents, you can also perform clustering, which uses

User Guide 60
specific algorithms, system-defined rules, to identify conceptually related documents. See the Searching
Guide for more information.

6.6 Regular expressions

Regular Expressions (RegEx) is a form of advanced searching that looks for specific patterns, as opposed
to certain terms and phrases. With RegEx you can use pattern matching to search for particular strings of
characters rather than constructing multiple, literal search queries. You can use RegEx with a dtSearch
index using dtSearch syntax options to construct complex queries. See the Searching Guide for more
information.

6.7 Additional features

Relativity provides additional features that makes searching easy to use from the Documents tab. Use the
search bar to run a keyword search query, or click the drop-down list to select another search index you
created.

With the search condition option, you can build queries using the same condition options available for saved

searches. You can click Save as Search on the Documents tab to create saved searches based on the
criteria defined for keyword searches, dtSearches, Analytics, or the search conditions option. See the
Searching Guide for more information.
You can also use the search bar to view recent searches. Click in the search bar to see up to 10 of the most
recent searches from any index in descending order, with the most recently run search first.

Select any search from the list to run that search. To clear the list, click Clear Recent Searches.

6.8 Search conditions

You can use the search conditions option to build complex queries by selecting fields, operators, and
values. While this feature has the same functionality as the search condition section of the saved search
form, it's conveniently available from the Documents tab and Relativity Dynamic Object tabs. This option
displays up to five rows, with each row representing a separate criterion. Depending on the type of field you
select, different operators appear. You can use this option alone or in conjunction with keyword searches,
dtSearches, Analytics, or Cluster visualization. When you use search options in conjunction with another
search feature, documents must both meet the search criteria and also the conditions specified.

User Guide 61
 Note: To use the search conditions option, you must have add or edit permissions for Search and access
to the Saved Searches Browser assigned to you through the Security page. See Workspace security in
the Admin Guide.

For more information about multiple object searching logic, see Multiple object searching.

6.8.2 Canceling queries

You can cancel a long-running search or view by clicking the Cancel button. This link appears when you
perform a keyword search, dtSearch, Analytics search, or use Pivot. It also appears when you filter or sort a
document or Dynamic Object list. It also appears when you perform other actions on item lists containing
documents or Dynamic Objects that initiate a query in the background.
When you click Cancel Request, Relativity stops the background query used to populate documents in an
item list. If you edit a search and click this link, your changes save, but the item list doesn't load. For
example, your changes save when you perform a mass edit on a list of documents in a search and then click
Cancel Request when the query is running to redisplay the updated list.

Note: Relativity creates an audit record in the History tab for canceled queries. The query description
displays the running time of the query and indicates that it was canceled. You must have the appropriate
permissions to view this tab.

The following table explains different scenarios in which you might cancel a running query and whether the
query actually cancels.

6.8.3 Frequently asked searching questions

This section includes frequently asked questions from Relativity users.

6.8.3.1 Multiple terms in dtSearch queries

Why would I receive an error message saying my query is too complex?
Relativity can't return precise results when a query includes search conditions that are too complex due to
the use of multiple search terms. To avoid this error message, simplify your search criteria. For example,
search for 10 instead of 50 terms in your query. You can save and tag your search results from each simpler
query. With this approach you can search on the required terms, while providing better results.

6.8.3.2 Proximity searches in dtSearch queries

Why are terms in my proximity search highlighted even when they don't match my defined W/N criteria?
Relativity highlights terms that meet the requirements of your proximity search as well as the individual
search terms. This behavior doesn't affect the results of your proximity search, which returns the
appropriate documents. For example, the results of a proximity search for instances of law within three
words of order (that is "law W/3 order") includes highlighted terms of "law" and "order" when they aren't
within three words of each other. To accommodate this behavior, focus only on the results that match the
proximity search criteria, and disregard the other highlighted terms.

6.8.3.3 Using reserved characters in dtSearch queries

Can I use a reserved character such as ampersand (&) in my dtSearch queries?
The following characters have special meaning in dtSearch, and must be treated with care when they
appear in your queries: ?, *, %, ~, #, =, :, &, (). Use the dictionary to explore syntax options if necessary.
If you want to make any of these characters searchable, you must add them to the alphabet file and, in some
cases, use Regular Expressions in your search. For more information, see the Searching Guide.

6.8.3.4 Multiple conditions

Why do my searches run slowly when I use multiple conditions?

User Guide 64
When you add multiple search conditions to a query, Relativity searches on these conditions relative to
each other, which slows down the return of your results. For example, you experience slow performance
when running a query on all email messages received "after June 1" and "before June 30" of the same year.
You can improve performance by using as few conditions as possible, such as excluding the condition
"before June 30". Run the query with only the condition "after June 1", and then sort or filter your results to
display messages received between the desired dates.

6.8.3.5 Nesting searches

Can I nest multiple searches in a saved search?
For performance reasons, we don't recommend nesting multiple searches in a saved search. You can
select a search as a condition, but using multiple searches as conditions slows down the return of your
results. See the Searching guide for more information.

User Guide 65
7 Tabs
A workspace contains tabs that provide you with easy access to different Relativity features, including
documents, search terms reports, views, and other default functionality. Relativity is a highly customizable
platform. Commonly used tabs can be added to the Sidebar so that they can conveniently be accessed at
any time.

Note: RelativityOne includes a tool that allows you to choose a workspace to use as a source template for
tab structure and then lets you apply that template across multiple workspaces in your instance.

You can also apply any workspace template with a tabs arrangement that best serves your review needs.
Some workspace templates also include custom tabs for specialized functionality.
You can add custom tabs in workspaces or at Home. Users with admin rights also have access to a Tabs
tab from Home. The functionality of this Tabs tab is the same as the Tabs tab in a workspace.
In addition, Relativity automatically creates a tab when you add a new object type.

7.1 Creating and editing tabs

Note: We do not recommend entering sensitive data in a tab name because it cannot be secured with cli-
ent domains.

To create or edit a tab, follow these steps:

1. Click the Tabs tab.

2. Click New Tab. If you're editing an existing tab, click the Edit icon in the row of the tab you would like
to edit.
3. Complete the fields on the form. See Fields below.
4. Click Save.

7.2 Fields
Information on the fields in the Tab Information and Tab location are described below.

User Guide 66
7.2.1 Tab Information

n Name - the tab’s name. This field must be between 1 and 50 characters. Be as concise as possible
when naming tabs.
n Tab Type - determines the type of tab you want to create:
o Object - creates a tab for a non-document object in your workspace.
o Parent - establishes the tab as a parent tab. Existing tabs can then be set as children of the par-
ent tab, which causes them to display in the Sidebar's fly-out menu or in the Tab strip when the
parent tab is currently selected. Selecting this option changes the layout by hiding the Object
Type and Set as Default fields.
o External - link to any URL or object type in Relativity.

Note: Selecting External from the Link Type menu causes the Link field to appear below
the Parent field. In the Link field, you can enter a web address to link to a URL.
You can create a link from a tab to an Relativity Dynamic Object (RDO) or a script, using either
an Artifact ID or GUID. To create links to other objects, you must use their GUIDs. For inform-
ation about working with objects that don't have GUIDs, see Tabs on the previous page.
Use the following token to link to an object: ObjectArtifactIdentifier=[identifier], where [iden-
tifier] is the GUID of the object, or in the case of RDOs and scripts, the GUID or Artifact ID. For
example, you would use the format ObjectArtifactIdentifier=736b1c1f-d22f-43cf-9094-
cc8acf94c60 to create a link from a tab to the object with this GUID.
Use the following case insensitive text replacement options to customize the URL, allowing you to display
current details about your workspace:

Text Replacement Option Replacement Text

%AppID% AppID=<Current Workspace ID>

User Guide 67
 Text Replacement Option Replacement Text
%ApplicationPath% The actual application path
%ArtifactTypeID% ArtifactTypeID=<Current ArtifactTypeID>
%AssociatedArtifactID% AssociatedArtifactID=<Current Instance Artifact ID>
%AuthenticationToken% AuthenticationToken=<New Authentication Token>
%ConnectorfieldArtifactID% ConnectorFieldArtifactID=<Current Connector Field Artifact ID>
%ParentArtifactID% ParentArtifactID=<Current Parent ArtifactID>
%SystemID% SystemID=<Current System ID>
%SelectedSearchArtifactID% SelectedSearchArtifactID =<Current Search Artifact ID>

n Object Type - determines which object’s information is displayed in the tab for those specified as
Link Type = Object.
n Set as Default Tab - toggle on to make this tab serve as the workspace’s default tab. Reviewers log-
ging in to the workspace are taken to the default tab. If a reviewer does not have access to the default
tab, he or she is directed to the Documents tab instead.
n Visible - toggle on to display this tab from the Sidebar, Tab strip, and/or Quick nav.
n Relativity Applications - add this tab to a Relativity application. Clicking the Select button brings up
a list of available applications.

7.2.2 Tab Location

n Show in Sidebar - toggle on to add this tab to the Sidebar. Depending on the number of tabs that
have already been added to the Sidebar, the Order value assigned to this tab, and your browser's res-
olution, the tab may be displayed in the More menu if it does not fit into the current Sidebar.
n Parent - select a parent tab to assign the current tab as a child tab. The current tab will display in the
fly-out menu for the parent tab.
n Order - represents the position of the tab by a numerical value. It can be any positive or negative
integer. You cannot use decimals in this field. The lowest-numbered tab displays at the top of the
Sidebar. The highest-numbered tab displays at the bottom of the Sidebar or in the More menu. Items

User Guide 68
 that share the same value are sorted in alphanumeric order.

Note: It's always a good idea to set tab order by 10's, starting with 10, then 20, then 30, etc. By
numbering in groups of 10 you can insert an item into any position later in the workspace, without
the need to reorder (for example, you can use 10, 20, 25, 30, 40 to insert a new tab between 20 and
30).

7.3 Nesting children tabs

You may prefer to nest several tabs within a parent to reduce clutter in your Relativity interface and make
tabs easier to locate. You must first specify a tab as a parent (step 1) and then specify children tabs (steps
2-4).

1. Create a new tab with a Tab Type of Parent or edit an existing tab.
2. Click the Edit icon next to the tab you want to nest.
3. Choose the parent tab name under the Parent drop-down menu.
4. Click Save.
Repeat for each child tab you wish to nest. Hover your cursor over the parent tab to display the nested child
tabs in a fly-out menu.

User Guide 69
8 Viewer
The Review Interface displays workspace documents. You can use the Viewer type tabs to toggle the
loaded formats of documents, such as Native Viewer, Image Viewer, Extracted Text Viewer, or Productions
Viewer. Using the Viewer, you can control the form of document that displays in the interface. If a document
has not been imaged, you can image documents on-the-fly in the Viewer.

Note: Using your internet browser to zoom to any size other than 100% while using the Viewer is not
supported and can cause unexpected behavior.

If you do not see the document in the Viewer, it either has not been loaded to the workspace, its conversion
failed, or you do not have permission to see it.

User Guide 70
8.1 Native Viewer

User Guide 71
Note: In the Native Viewer, you can expand the email header to display full email addresses. If you col-
lapse or expand an email header, the Viewer maintains the expanded or collapsed state as you navigate
through documents in the set.

User Guide 72
The Native Viewer displays an HTML rendering of the document that is as close to the original version of the
document as possible. With the Native Viewer, you can:

n Navigate through a single document and between documents in a document set.

n Conduct text searching.
n Highlight text to copy and paste.
n Zoom, arrange, and save pages that you review in the Native Viewer.
n Print single documents by saving the document as a PDF. To learn more, see Create PDF.

Note: The Viewer displays PDF text by mapping the character codes to Unicode in most cases. To check
whether PDF text has been properly encoded and will display correctly in the Viewer, copy the text in the
original PDF file and paste it into another application like Microsoft Word or Notepad. If the pasted text
does not display correctly, the PDF is not properly encoded. If the pasted text displays correctly in another
application but not in the Viewer, contact Support for assistance.

8.1.1 Navigating the Native Viewer

The Native Viewer offers several ways of viewing and working with documents. There are options available
in the following sections of the Viewer:

1. Native Viewer toolbar options

2. Left drawer Viewer options
3. Document actions menu

User Guide 73
 4. Viewer settings menu
5. Viewer breadcrumbs
6. Right drawer Viewer options
Each of these options and menus is described in more detail in the sections below.

8.1.1.1 Native Viewer toolbar options

The following toolbar options are available in the Native Viewer:

n Zoom Out/In —zooms out and in on the current document in increments of 10% within a range of
10% to 4,000%. If you attempt to zoom out to a percentage lower than 10%, the Viewer automatically
sets the display to 10%. If you attempt to zoom in to a percentage higher than 4,000%, the Viewer
automatically sets the display to 4,000%. Your zoom setting persists as you navigate through a doc-
ument set. This means that if you have set one document to 150% and you go to the next document,
the next document defaults to 150% zoom.
To specify a zoom percentage without using the zoom out/in toolbar buttons, type the number in the
percentage field and press the Enter key.
n Reset Zoom —resets the zoom to 100%.
n Fit Width —increases the size of the document to fit the maximum width of the Viewer. This setting
persists when you re-size the window.
n Fit Page —fits the entire document into the total size of the page. Clicking this zooms out the doc-
ument and reduces the font size.
n Fit Actual —fits the document display to the actual size it was in its native application. By default, this
resets the zoom percentage to 100%.
n Layout Mode —select one of the following options to determine how documents that are more than
one page long display in the Viewer.
o Single —one page of a document will display at a time. Use the page navigation options at the
bottom of the Viewer to adjust which page you view.
o Single Continuous —displays the pages in the document stacked vertically so you can scroll
up and down to view them.
o Facing Continuous —displays the pages in the document in a row horizontally so you can
scroll left and right to view them.
n Draft Mode —click to begin Draft Mode which automatically contrasts text from the background, help
you identify poorly drawn redactions, and identify corrupt OCR text. This option is only available on
the Native Viewer and PDF Viewer with rendered documents.
n Go To Next/Previous Highlight —moves through previous and next highlighted terms in the doc-
ument.
n Rotate All Pages —rotates all pages in a document clockwise 90 degrees. This option is only avail-
able for documents that have been paginated.

User Guide 74
 n Redact Markup Visibility —this option determines how markups display in the Viewer.
It only displays if you have the Redact application installed and open a PDF or spreadsheet document

8.1.1.2 Searchable PDF Improvements per Configuration

When you Create PDF from the Native Viewer or using the Mass PDF Operations bar, most types of
searchable PDFs will now have significantly smaller file sizes. More specifically, images without highlights,
but configured to be searchable and stamped, will benefit from the most dramatic decrease in file size. But
overall, the Create PDF feature now generates reduced file saves for a wide range of configurations when
creating searchable PDFs. In order to accomplish this for previously unknown file-types and mixed TIFF and
JPEG Create PDF jobs, Relativity now treats each page individually, instead of treating the entire document
as a whole, allowing for the best file-size-reduction technique possible for each page.

Image Format Redactions Highlights File Size Reduction

TIFF Yes No Up to 76%
TIFF Yes Yes Up to 43%
JPEG Yes No Up to 43%
JPEG Yes Yes Up to 43%
After you click Create PDF, a copy of the document converts to a PDF file you can save from your web
browser downloads. Relativity assigns a GUID for Create PDF file names.

displays PDF text by mapping the character codes to Unicode in most cases. To check whether PDF text
has been properly encoded and will display correctly in the Viewer, copy the text in the original PDF file
and paste it into another application like Microsoft Word or Notepad. If the pasted text does not display cor-
rectly, the PDF is not properly encoded. If the pasted text displays correctly in another application but not
in the Viewer, contact Support for assistance.

 Note: You may experience slowness if you try to open PDF documents that are larger than 300 mega-
bytes.
The Viewer displays PDF text by mapping the character codes to Unicode in most cases. To check
whether PDF text has been properly encoded and will display correctly in the Viewer, copy the text in the
original PDF file and paste it into another application like Microsoft Word or Notepad. If the pasted text
does not display correctly, the PDF is not properly encoded. If the pasted text displays correctly in another
application but not in the Viewer, contact Support for assistance.

There are options available in the following sections of the Viewer:

1. PDF Viewer toolbar options

2. Left drawer Viewer options
3. Document actions menu
4. Viewer settings menu
5. Viewer breadcrumbs
6. Right drawer Viewer options
Each of these options and menus is described in more detail in the sections below.

8.5.0.1 PDF Viewer toolbar options

The PDF Viewer provides the following options:

User Guide 99
 n Zoom Out/In —zooms out and in on the current document in increments of 10% within a range of
10% to 4,000%. If you attempt to zoom out to a percentage lower than 10%, the Viewer automatically
sets the display to 10%. If you attempt to zoom in to a percentage higher than 4,000%, the Viewer
automatically sets the display to 4,000%. Your zoom setting persists as you navigate through a doc-
ument set. This means that if you have set one document to 150% and you go to the next document,
the next document defaults to 150% zoom.
To specify a zoom percentage without using the zoom out/in toolbar buttons, type the number in the
percentage field and press the Enter key.
n Reset Zoom —resets the zoom to 100%.
n Fit Width —increases the size of the document to fit the maximum width of the Viewer. This setting
persists when you re-size the window.
n Fit Page —fits the entire document into the total size of the page. Clicking this zooms out the doc-
ument and reduces the font size.
n Fit Actual —fits the document display to the actual size it was in its native application. By default, this
resets the zoom percentage to 100%.
n Layout Mode —select one of the following options to determine how documents that are more than
one page long display in the Viewer.
o Single —one page of a document will display at a time. Use the page navigation options at the
bottom of the Viewer to adjust which page you view.
o Single Continuous —displays the pages in the document stacked vertically so you can scroll
up and down to view them.
o Facing Continuous —displays the pages in the document in a row horizontally so you can
scroll left and right to view them.
n Draft Mode —click to begin Draft Mode which automatically contrasts text from the background, help
you identify poorly drawn redactions, and identify corrupt OCR text. This option is only available on
the Native Viewer and PDF Viewer with rendered documents.
n Go To Next/Previous Highlight —moves through previous and next highlighted terms in the doc-
ument.
n Redact Markup Visibility — this option determines how markups display in the PDF Viewer. Click
the Redact Markup Visibility icon to toggle between the following modes:
o Solid —Markups in the document are fully visible and cover text underneath.
o Transparent —Markups in the document are partially visible so that you can still see the text
underneath.
o Hidden —Markups in the document are not visible.

8.5.0.2 Left drawer Viewer options

The following options are available in the left drawer:

User Guide 100

 n Persistent Highlighting—displays or hides a panel containing all recent searches from the criteria
entered in the search bar and any persistent highlight sets in the workspace. You can also create a
dtSearch or keyword search in the Your recent searches section. Only terms in the sets and recent
searches that are in the current document will display in the pane.
Additionally, you can control which highlights display in the current document by clicking on either the
persistent set to only display highlights from that set or you can click on a specific term to only see
that term highlighted in the document. You can also navigate to and from highlights using this pane.

n Thumbnail—click to expand the left drawer and display the Thumbnail Viewer. Each page of the doc-
ument you are reviewing has its own numbered thumbnail in the Thumbnail Viewer.
n Sentiment—click to expand or collapse the left drawer and display Sentiment Analysis Highlights in
the Viewer.
n aiR for Review Analysis—click to expand or collapse the left drawer and display aiR for Review res-
ults. You can also enable or disable aiR for Review highlights.

8.5.0.3 Right drawer Viewer options

The following options are available in the right drawer:

n Hidden Content—displays or hides all hidden cells in a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. This func-
tionality is only available for Excel files and does not work on imaged documents because Relativity
only images unhidden cells.

User Guide 101

 n Contextual Search—click to expand the right drawer and display the Contextual Search card. This
feature allows you to quickly navigate to matching search terms in a document which is useful in
longer documents or ones that have many matching search terms. The Contextual Search card has
the same functionality as the Search Bar. To learn more about the Search Bar's functionality, see
Search Bar. Additionally, each search term match is displayed in a box that includes both words
before and after the search term match to make it easy for you to view the context of each one.
Enter a term or terms in the search box and press Enter on your keyboard to highlight in yellow any
matches in the current document. You can click on a desired search term box in the pane to jump to
that place in the document. The active search term box will display with a blue border and the match-
ing search term in the document will be highlighted in blue to make it easy to find.

mission. This permission is disabled by default for all users other than System Administrators.
You can toggle instance settings, persistent highlighting, and extensions on or off for the current user
to help troubleshoot problems. Settings that are edited only apply to the current user and do not
impact settings across the instance. If you edit any of the options on this page, a message displays at
the top of the Viewer indicating that the settings have been changed. You may need to refresh your
browser for the changes to be reflected in the Viewer. Any changes made do not persist across user
sessions and once you log out, the Viewer will return to the state prior to editing the Review Interface
Settings.
If you would like to return to the prior Viewer state, click Reset Default Settings at the bottom of the
page to restore the settings back to their original values.

8.8 Pop Out Viewer

You can open the Viewer in a new window in your browser using the Pop Out Viewer. The Document card
and the Coding card remain in the previously opened browser window. They can be expanded to a greater
width to take advantage of the space freed up by the Pop Out Viewer. The Pop Out Viewer retains the same

8.15 Viewer-supported file types

Relativity uses the Viewer to display rendered versions of native files. Reviewers can see how the file
looked in its native application without opening the file in that native application.
When converting email file types such as EML, the Viewer will not download images from the internet. Any
linked images will display as a gray box in the Viewer.
This document provides a comprehensive list of files types supported by the Viewer. Find out which Viewer
version you have, by navigating to your Viewer and clicking .
See the Admin guide for more information on the Viewer.

User Guide 117

 Note: Relativity does not support any third-party applications after the user downloads a file. This
includes specific browser and media-player combinations, such as Internet Explorer and Windows Media
Player.

8.15.1 Text only designation

Some file types have a "text only" designation. When viewing these files in the Native Viewer, the
document's text is the only data that renders. For Microsoft Project files and XML files, the view doesn't
display items such as Gantt charts, icons, or other graphics. There is typically no formatting (bold, italics,
fonts, etc.) of the text.

8.15.2 File ID only designation

Some file types have a "file ID only" designation. The Viewer is able to identify the file ID correctly, but it
returns an error message indicating that the file format is not supported. Despite returning an error
message, the Viewer identifies the file so that you can easily locate it and open it in an alternate application.

8.15.3 Supported File ID-only file types

is characterized as a text file with the string
"From<space>email address<space>date string".
When a file of this nature is viewed in Relativity, it
may appear to only show summaries of messages.
Essentially, if that "from" line is at the top of the
document, Relativity treats it as MBOX and displays
it as an archive.

9 Workspaces
In Relativity, a workspace provides a secure data repository for documents used in cases or for applications
developed with dynamic objects. You can store all types of documents, such as productions, witness
testimony, and so on, in a workspace to facilitate searching, organizing, and categorizing content. In
addition, you can use granular security settings to grant or deny permissions to specific content stored in the
workspace.
At the workspace level, you can also define views, layouts, fields, and choices. These features streamline
workflows, as well as simplify the processes for organizing and categorizing content. Views support filtering
on item lists, while layouts, fields, and choices are used for categorizing documents.

Note: The workspace creation process cannot be canceled once it begins.

To find out the status of the workspace, review the Workspace State column in the
Workspaces list:

n Active—the workspace is available for use.

n Creating—the workspace is in the process of being created.
n Cold storage—the workspace has been migrated to Cold Storage. See Migrating and
retrieving workspaces to and from cold storage on the next page.

User Guide 136

9.1 Viewing workspace details
On the Workspace Details tab, Relativity displays read-only workspace fields, history information, Relativity
Utilities console, Production Restrictions, and the Workspace Admin Group field. You can update the
Production Restrictions field when you edit a workspace. See Workspaces on the previous page.

Note: Once a workspace is created, only System Administrators and Client Domain Administrators can
make updates to the Matter object. Even users with full permissions for Matters and Clients will not have
the ability to modify this object unless they are System Administrators or Client Domain Administrators.

9.2 Migrating and retrieving workspaces to and from cold storage

9.2.1 Migrate workspaces to cold storage

You must have security permissions set at the workspace-level to edit the workspace, and the Admin
Operation called Manage Cold Storage to migrate workspaces to cold storage.
The following minimum security permissions are required in order to migrate workspaces to cold storage:

Object security Tab visibility Admin operations

Instance level
Workspace: Manage Cold storage

n View, Edit,
Delete

Workspace level Other Settings

Workspace: Workspace Details View workspace details

n View, Edit

To migrate workspaces to cold storage, follow these steps:

User Guide 137

1. Navigate to the Workspace Details tabs.
2. Click Migrate to Cold Storage in the Relativity Utilities console. The Cold Storage Confirmation dia-
log box displays.

3. Click Migrate Workspace to migrate the workspace to cold storage.

Note: Migrating a workspace to cold storage is an immediate action that does not impact potential
client-related due date charges. However, once data is migrated to cold storage, it becomes inac-
cessible.

4. The Storage Status column on the workspace view displays the status of the workspace as Cold Stor-
age.

User Guide 138

 Notes:
n A workspace in cold storage cannot be used as a template.
n A workspace in cold storage cannot be used by Import/Export or Integration Points.
n A cold storage Workspace will be considered an active standard workspace for billing pur-
poses in any calendar month where it is accessed. This includes accessing the cold work-
space through Relativity APIs or for auditing or reporting purposes.
n Workspaces in cold storage can be archived directly using ARM without having to be moved to
an active state before archiving. See the ARM content on the RelativityOne documentation
site for more information.
n After a workspace has been moved to Cold Storage, it must remain there for 30 days from the
exact date and time it was moved before it can be deleted. This is a fixed system requirement.
For instance, if a workspace is moved to Cold Storage on January 1st at 11:20am, it will only
be eligible for deletion after 11:20am on January 31st.

9.2.2 Retrieve workspaces from Cold Storage

You must have the security permissions to edit the workspace and the Admin Operation called Manage
Cold Storage to retrieve workspaces from cold storage.
To retrieve workspaces from cold storage, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the Workspaces tab.

2. Click the workspace name of the workspace you want to retrieve from cold storage. The Cold Storage
Retrieval page displays.

User Guide 139

3. Click Retrieve Workspace to retrieve the workspace from cold storage. The Cold Storage Retrieval
Confirmation pop-up displays.

4. Click Retrieve Workspace to retrieve the workspace from cold storage. The Cold Storage Retrieval
confirmation page displays.

User Guide 140

 Notes:
n Workspace retrievals are not instantaneous after clicking Retrieve Workspace. It could take
1-5 days to resume operations in that workspace.
n The user who sent the retrieval request will receive an email notification once the retrieval of
the workspace is complete.
n Cold Storage Case Retrieval Agent needs to be present and running for workspaces to be
retrieved from cold storage.
n Migration and retrieval actions are audited.
n You can archive workspaces in cold storage directly using ARM without having to be moved to
an active state before archiving. See the ARM content on the RelativityOne documentation
site for more information.

9.3 Workspace admin group

A system admin can assign any group in Relativity to have full admin rights over a particular workspace. A
workspace admin has near-complete control over all objects within the workspace, but members of the
group do not have the script permissions available only to system admins.

Note: While Workspace Administrators have extensive control over their respective workspaces, they do
not automatically inherit the full range of system administrator privileges. Non-standard permissions like
"New Document" must be added. Additionally, the "Workspace" permission is initially set only to "View"
status.

Use the following steps to set a designate a workspace admin group:

1. Click Edit on the Workspace Details tab.

2. Click Select in the Workspace Admin Group field.
3. Select the group you want to set as the workspace admin group.
4. Click Ok.

Note: You can only designate one group per workspace as a workspace admin group.

9.4 Document and item list navigation

The workspace offers several ways to view documents and items. Using the Browsers panel, you can
navigate from folder to folder to see the documents contained within each. The Document Preview panel
allows you to view specific documents from the document list. Additionally, you can also sort and filter the
document or item list based on any fields in the current view or using the search panel.

9.4.1 Browsers panel

The Browsers panel is located on the left side of the workspace. Depending on your permissions, you may
not see the Browsers panel.
The Browsers panel may contain the following options for browsing through your documents:

User Guide 141

 n Folders
n Field Tree
n Saved Searches
No matter which of these options you use, there are several display options you can use to customize your
workspace.

The Browsers panel opens by default. Hide or expand the Browsers panel by clicking the carrot to the left of
Browsers. If both the Browsers and Search Conditions panels are hidden, click on the Browsers icon to
display it. You can also re-size the Browsers panel by hovering over the line separating the panel from the
other panel or document list until the line is highlighted. You may then click-and-drag the line to the desired
dimensions.

User Guide 142

9.4.1.1 Document browser menu
The Document browser menu is located directly below the Browsers panel. Click on one of the menu’s
options to display that mode of the browser:

Icon Name Description

Folders Navigate the folder hierarchy for your workspace.

Field Tree Browse your documents according to how they were coded or grouped.

Saved Create a new search, or browse previously saved searches.See Saved Search in
Searches the Searching Guide.

Folders
Click on the Folders icon to navigate the folder hierarchy for your workspace. The folder structure is set
when documents are imported. It can be based on the document’s source, or according to a folder structure
set by your Relativity administrator. Clicking on a folder displays that folder’s documents in the document
list.

Note: To ensure stable performance, we recommend creating no more than 250,000 folders in a
workspace and having 15 sub-folders or less within each folder.

A folder often has multiple sub-folders. Click on the folder to view the sub-folders. Click on the arrow next to
the folder to hide the sub-folders.
To change the folder scope, click on the This folder and subfolders or Only this folder icon.

User Guide 143

Field tree
Click on the Field Tree icon to display the field tree in the browser. Selected single and multiple-choice list
fields and their choices appear in a tree structure.

Each single and multiple-choice field has its own choice folder in the field tree. The field’s choices appear as
sub-folders. Each field also has a [Not Set] choice, which displays null values for the field.

User Guide 144

You can click on a choice in the field tree to display all the documents in the document list that have the
selected choice value and meet the criteria of the active view.
Sending email links to choices
You can send an email with a link to a view that contains the choice, a choice folder, or the document list that
appears when the field tree is open. In the field tree, right-click on a choice or a choice folder and select the
Email Link option.

The subject line of the email pre-populates with the following text: Relativity Review - <Workspace Name> -
<Choice Name: Value>. If you send an email link to a choice folder, the subject line displays the folder name
instead of choice name and value.
When the recipient clicks on the link, the documents associated with the choice or folder appear in the
document list. If the recipient does not have required permissions for the choice folder or field associated
with the choice, a permissions denied message displays instead.
Alternatively, you can select Copy Link to Clipboard to copy a link to a view that contains the choice, a
choice folder, or the document list that appears when the field tree is open.

9.4.2 View bar

The View bar consists of the following elements:

n New documents—click to upload new documents using Simple File Upload. If the Transcripts applic-
ation is installed in this workspace, this icon is replaced with a drop-down menu that allows you to
choose between uploading a new document or a new transcript.

User Guide 145

 n Views drop-down menu—click to select a view.
o New view—click to create a new view from within the view drop-down menu. This icon only dis-
plays if you have permission to add a new view. If the icon is not present, contact your Relativ-
ity administrator to add a view.
o Edit view icon—click to edit a view that displays within the view drop-down menu. This icon
only displays if you have permission to edit the view. If the icon is not present, contact your
Relativity administrator to edit the current view.
n Include Related Items drop-down menu—returns documents related to the documents currently in
the view. The options vary by workspace, but may include email family groups, duplicates, or similar
documents.
n Add Widget—click to add a custom widget to your document list dashboard.
n Dashboard drop-down menu—select a custom dashboard to view in the document list.
See Dashboards in the Navigation section of the Admin Guide for more information.
o New view—click to create a new dashboard from within the dashboard drop-down menu. This
icon only displays if you have permission to add a new dashboard. If the icon is not present,
contact your Relativity administrator to add a dashboard.
o Edit dashboard icon—click to edit a dashboard that displays within the dashboards drop-
down menu. This icon only displays if you have permission to edit the dashboard. If the icon is
not present, contact your Relativity administrator to edit the current dashboard.
n Export Dashboard—click and select a dashboard widget to download to your workstation as an edit-
able Excel file. See Dashboards in the Admin Guide for more information.
For more information, see the Views chapter of the Admin guide.

9.4.3 Document Preview panel

The Document Preview panel allows you to view documents similarly to the Viewer, while remaining on the
document list. This allows you to filter the document list as desired and view the results without leaving the
Documents tab. You can view and navigate through highlight hits for any previously created persistent
highlight sets as well. However, you cannot search or create search terms in the Document Preview panel.
Additionally, searching for terms in the document list will not create highlights in a document you are viewing
in the Document Preview panel.
