Relativity Tutorial Outline

Relativity is a web-based platform that traditionally services the analysis, review, and production stages of the EDRM.  As one of the leading review platforms in the eDiscovery world, Relativity is a complete solution with the power to handle any case, from small transaction matters or ranging to the largest and most complex eDiscovery project.  Its customizability allows users and administrators to easily configure simple, easy-to-use environments for linear review projects, or alternately develop complex advanced workflows utilizing powerful analytical features and/or assisted review technology.

For our tutorial, we will cover basic review and case administration features in the Relativity tool, as well as some more advanced searching, review management, and reporting features of the platform.  These will include:

  • Logging in and basic navigation in the Relativity platform
  • Document review features and functionality in the Relativity Viewer (including performing redactions and imaging on-the-fly)
  • Basic and intermediate searching and reporting
  • Review management features (such as creating document batches and generating review reports)
  • Performing mass operations (such as batch tagging/coding, imaging, or printing)
  • Relativity production features
