This is the seventh installment in our series on dtSearch.  In this installment, we will explore how to leverage dtSearch’s ‘Search Within these Results’ feature to “drill down” or refine your search results.  You can find the previous installments here:  Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5 and Part 6

In today’s litigation, we often get voluminous amounts of discovery on a rolling basis.  Linear review of those discovery productions can result in going down multiple rabbit holes before we find the relevant, useful information. 

As we mentioned in earlier installments, dtSearch is a good search and retrieval tool built to help users quickly find relevant information in massive datasets.  You may have an idea on what names, keywords, terms, or phrases you want to search for.  You may think that you need to run each search separately.  This approach, while good-intentioned, could lead to you spending extra time reviewing duplicative results.  This can be especially time-consuming in cases with lots of data.

Guide: IPRO Eclipse Publish Case-troubleshooting

You may notice when in Eclipse Publish some buttons are blank or the text may look very small. Sometimes restarting the program will be enough to make the buttons populate. Another option is checking the compatibility mode for the program. The compatibility mode helps synchronize Eclipse’s display with your computer’s capabilities. Think trying to run a high-resolution game on a low-resolution computer—the quality of the graphics you experience is not as good as when you run a high-resolution game on a high-resolution computer. Fortunately, the steps to address this in Eclipse are straightforward.

First, Find the Eclipse Publish file and display its properties. Right-click on the LaunchViewer.exe file (the spinny football icon that you use to open the database), and select Properties. The Properties window will look like this, and the tab you want is the Compatibility tab. Click on it.

Guide: IPRO Eclipse Publish Case-Tagging

What is tagging and how can it help me?

One of the main advantages of reviewing discovery with Eclipse is the ability to tag. This feature is available in an IPRO Publish Case. Tagging allows you to flag a document or a single page. Think of it like putting a flag or sticky note on a paper document or a label on a file folder. This will let you organize your discovery by topic and mark significant documents and pages for future review in the Eclipse Publish Case.[1]

You can create your own tags and make them as specific or general as you want. For example, you can create subject-based tags for witnesses, issues, addresses, dates, or phone numbers. You can also create process-based tags for anticipated exhibits, important documents, or documents you want someone else to review. A word of caution here– plan your tags carefully because once you create a tag it cannot be deleted.
