RCA Data Loading and Processing 3 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: When importing a Concordance DAT load file into Relativity, which delimiter is typically used to separate field values?
- Comma (,)
- Pipe (|)
- Þ (ASCII 254) (Correct answer)
- Tab
Correct answer: Þ (ASCII 254)
Concordance DAT files conventionally use the ASCII 254 (Þ) character as the field delimiter and ASCII 20 (¶) as the quote character.
Question 2: In Relativity Processing, what does the 'Time Zone' setting in a Processing profile affect?
- The time zone displayed in the Relativity UI for all users
- The time zone used to normalize date-time metadata extracted from documents and emails (Correct answer)
- The server time zone used when scheduling processing jobs
- The time zone applied to audit log timestamps in the workspace
Correct answer: The time zone used to normalize date-time metadata extracted from documents and emails
The Time Zone setting in the Processing profile determines how date and time values embedded in documents and emails are interpreted and normalized during extraction.
Question 3: What is the role of the 'Processing Set' in Relativity's native processing workflow?
- A set that groups discovered Processing Source Locations and defines which profile and custodian assignments to use for a processing job (Correct answer)
- A saved search that organizes processed documents into review batches
- A container that stores OCR output for documents with no extracted text
- A queue that manages the order in which multiple workspaces receive processed documents
Correct answer: A set that groups discovered Processing Source Locations and defines which profile and custodian assignments to use for a processing job
A Processing Set is the core job object that links source locations, custodian assignments, and a processing profile together so a job can be started, monitored, and managed.
Question 4: When mapping fields during an RDC import, what is the purpose of the 'Identifier' field setting?
- It marks the field that will be displayed as the document title in the viewer
- It designates the field whose value uniquely identifies each record for overlay and duplicate detection purposes (Correct answer)
- It specifies which field is used as the primary sort key in document lists
- It controls which field value is used to generate document-level bates numbers
Correct answer: It designates the field whose value uniquely identifies each record for overlay and duplicate detection purposes
The Identifier field is used to uniquely identify each document during import, enabling overlay matching and preventing unintentional duplicate records.
Question 5: During Relativity native processing, what does 'Publishing' refer to?
- Making processed documents visible to reviewers by moving them from the processing workspace into the review workspace
- The step that converts extracted text into a searchable index
- The act of writing extracted metadata and documents from the processing engine into the workspace database and file repository (Correct answer)
- Exporting processed documents to an external review platform
Correct answer: The act of writing extracted metadata and documents from the processing engine into the workspace database and file repository
Publishing is the step in native processing where documents that have been discovered and processed are written to the workspace, making them available for review.
Question 6: Which Relativity feature allows an administrator to re-run text extraction on documents that failed during the initial processing job?
- Retry Errors (Correct answer)
- Reprocess Documents
- Republish Set
- Extract Text Override
Correct answer: Retry Errors
The Retry Errors function targets documents flagged with processing errors and attempts to re-extract or reprocess them without requiring a full new processing job.
Question 7: In a Relativity load file import, what is the function of the 'Folder Information' field mapping option?
- It specifies a static folder in the workspace where all imported documents will be placed
- It maps a load file column containing path data to dynamically create and assign documents to a folder hierarchy in the workspace (Correct answer)
- It controls the subfolder structure created in the file repository for native files
- It links imported documents to pre-existing matter folders defined in workspace administration
Correct answer: It maps a load file column containing path data to dynamically create and assign documents to a folder hierarchy in the workspace
Mapping Folder Information to a load file column tells Relativity to parse the path values and build matching folder nodes in the workspace document tree.
