Question 1

What is the maximum recommended size for a single Processing Source Location data set before performance issues are likely to occur in Relativity?

Accepted Answer

There is no documented size limit — it depends on server resources

Answer

Relativity does not publish a hard cap on source location size; practical limits depend on available server CPU, RAM, worker count, and network throughput.

Question 2

When configuring OCR in a Relativity Processing profile, which document condition triggers OCR to run?

Accepted Answer

Documents where no extracted text was produced during standard text extraction

Answer

OCR is typically triggered for documents where standard text extraction yields no text content, such as scanned image PDFs or image-only files.

Question 3

In Relativity, what is an 'Extracted Text' file and where is it stored in relation to the document repository?

Accepted Answer

A .txt sidecar file stored alongside each native file in the file repository, containing the document's searchable text

Answer

Relativity stores extracted text as individual .txt sidecar files in the file repository, linked to each document record and used for full-text indexing.

Question 4

During a load file import, if a document's native file path in the load file points to a location that does not exist, what is the default behavior in Relativity RDC?

Accepted Answer

The document record is created in the workspace but with no native file attached; an error is logged

Answer

When the RDC cannot find a referenced native file, it typically creates the metadata record but logs a file-not-found error, leaving the document without a native attachment.

Question 5

What is the purpose of the 'Number' field (e.g., Bates number) in a Relativity load file import?

Accepted Answer

It is a user-defined field that serves as the document's unique identifier, typically populated from the load file

Answer

The Number field (often populated with a Bates number or control number) acts as the unique document identifier in Relativity and must be uniquely valued per document.
