Guide: IPRO Eclipse Publish Case-troubleshooting

By Alicia Penn and Alex Roberts

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

By Luzevelia Morales

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.

Trial Director Discount for CJA Panel Attorneys Licenses

The National Litigation Support Team (NLST) is pleased to announce that IPRO / Reveal Data has agreed to provide a discounted rate for CJA panel attorneys to purchase a subscription license of Trial Director.

Trial Director is a courtroom presentation tool that allows users the ability to present documents, pictures and videos in hearings and trials. Users can prepare exhibits in advance, or instantly display exhibits to jurors and judges. Additionally, attorneys can direct jurors’ attention to the most important parts of exhibits by doing call-outs, zoom-ins, mark-ups, highlights, and side-by-side comparisons of documents. During the examination of a witness, it is easy to do a screen capture of information that has been displayed to the jury for later use in the trial, and the software works well when used along with PowerPoint. Trial Director has been successfully used for many years by FDOs and CJA panel attorneys representing clients and has been a staple of the Law and Technology workshop training series for close to 20 years.
