Data Loading and Processing Flashcards

When configuring a Processing profile in Relativity, what does the 'Deduplication' setting control?

Answer: Whether duplicate files are identified and optionally excluded from ingestion based on hash comparison

Deduplication in a Processing profile identifies files with matching hash values and allows you to exclude duplicates from being ingested as separate documents.

Which field in the Processing Source Location settings specifies where Relativity should look for raw data files to process?

Answer: Source Path

The Source Path in Processing Source Location settings designates the network location where raw evidence files are stored and from which Relativity will pull data for processing.

In Relativity Processing, what is the purpose of the 'Inventory' step before full processing?

Answer: To generate a preliminary list of files and their metadata without full extraction

Inventory gives you a lightweight scan of the source data to generate file counts and metadata before committing to full processing, allowing better scoping decisions.

When using the Relativity Desktop Client (RDC) for a load file import, what does the 'Overlay' mode do?

Answer: Updates fields on existing documents matched by the overlay identifier without creating duplicates

Overlay mode uses a designated identifier field to match incoming rows to existing documents and updates only the specified fields on those matched records.

What happens to a Processing job when a file encounters a 'Password Protected' error during text extraction?

Answer: The file is skipped and flagged with an error; other files continue processing

Password-protected files are individually flagged with an error status while the remainder of the processing job continues, allowing you to address them separately.

Which Processing profile setting controls whether email metadata fields such as 'To', 'From', and 'Subject' are mapped to workspace fields during publishing?

Answer: Publishing Profile

The Publishing Profile within Processing settings controls how extracted metadata fields, including email headers, are mapped to destination workspace fields when documents are published.

In Relativity, what is the significance of the 'Global Deduplication' option versus 'Custodian Deduplication' during processing?

Answer: Global deduplication removes duplicates across all custodians; custodian deduplication removes duplicates only within each individual custodian's data set

Global deduplication treats the entire job as one pool, eliminating cross-custodian duplicates, while custodian deduplication only removes duplicates found within a single custodian's data.
