This document contains the steps to perform the most common functionalities. The information is organized into three broad groups:
- Add Relativity documents to Exolution
- Apply redactions
- Create redacted documents
Steps (1) and (3) are performed directly from the Relativity interface, and step (2) can be performed from the Relativity interface as well as the Exolution interface.
The tab Exolution is added to Relativity when Exolution is installed on a Relativity workspace. The Exolution tab has 6 sub-tabs as displayed below. By default, the Exolution tab and all the sub-tabs are visible to Relativity users with administrative privileges. All the non-administrator users don’t have access to this tab until an administrator provides them access.
All the Relativity users in a group with the group name containing the word “administrator” are considered administrators in Exolution. The users that are not in any of the “administrator” groups are reviewers or “non-administrators” for Exolution.
The following details each tab:
Add to Exolution: Add Relativity documents to Exolution. The documents can be redacted with Exolution only after they are added to Exolution. For the duplicates, only the copies of the documents added to Exolution can be redacted by Exolution.
PII Explorer: Provides a summary of PII and keywords in the document set. Also facilitates to mass redact all or selected PII/keywords.
Create Redacted Documents: Create redacted copies of the selected documents and load them back into Relativity.
Swap Files: Swap document file association between the redacted copy of the file and the original unredacted file. This is used after the redacted documents are created. Additionally, it facilitates to lock or unlock the documents to protect them from the file swap.
Settings: Controls which components of the Exolution Viewer are visible to the non-admin users. The administrators have access to all the Viewer components.
About: Displays the license validity and facilitates to update the license.
