Simplified Folder Management

Folder management at your fingertips with the addition of the Create Folder + Create Document Issues (In Litigation) buttons on the folder list pages — creating efficiencies one less click at at time.

1 | Create Folder + Document Issues from Folder List

You can now find “Create Folder” + “Create Document Issue” buttons on the REVIEW and DOCUMENTS tabs in Discovery and Litigation, respectively.

Simply click on the green Create Folder button in the REVIEW tab of your Discovery database (DOCUMENTS tab in Litigation). You will be prompted to enter the folder name, abbreviation, and select a folder color (tip: your exhibit stamps will be the same color as your folder). After completing the folder creation form, click Create.

CREATE DOCUMENT ISSUE IN LITIGATION

Navigate to Litigation database > DOCUMENTS > Document Issues tab and click the green Create Document Issue button. 

You will be prompted to enter the Issue name, abbreviation, issue desciption (optional) and select a report color (for highlights associated with the issue). After completing the issue creation form, click Create.

2 | Edit/Inactivate Folders + Document Issues from Folder List

In addition to adding accessibility to creating folders, we also added the opportunity to edit/inactivate folders from the REVIEW tab and edit/inactivate folders or document issues from the DOCUMENTS tabs.  This will only give further flexibility in managing your case organization.

To edit or inactivate a folder in discovery, navigate to the REVIEW tab and click the three-dot drop-down next to the folder name and make the appropriate selection.

3 | “Unfoldered documents”

In the folder list of Discovery and Litigation databases, you will now find an "unfoldered documents" link which returns search results for documents which have not been added to folders. The aim of this addition is to help ease anxiety you may have in making sure you have "seen it all."

Locate the unfoldered documents link under the REVIEW tab in a Discovery database or under the DOCUMENTS tab of a Litigation database.

Folder Navigation Updates

Improved navigation (e.g new scrolling folder list vs. old “Show More Folders”) let’s you better organize without worrying how you will find your folders later.

1 | Sortable Column Headers in Folder List

Columns headers in the REVIEW and DOCUMENTS tabs (Discovery and Litigation, respectively) are sortable!

Click any column header in the folder lists of Discovery or Litigation to sort in ascending or descending order. Reset to user-defined order by clicking Custom Sort at the top of list.

What is Custom Sort?

Custom Sort is a specified sort order which any Advanced User within a given database can define and update in Settings. For example, you may want all of your Production folders grouped together in your folder list, followed by Custodian folders, then key term search hit folders, etc..

2 | Display all Folders in a Scrolling List

We removed the option to "Show More Folders” and now all folders will be displayed in one continually scrolling list (Discovery + Litigation).  

Additionally, when you navigate away from the list and use your browser back arrow, we will highlight your previous location in the list for ease of reference.

Why are my columns not sorting?

If you find that the columns in your folder list do not appropriately sort when clicked, we might suggest restarting your browser. If that doesn't do the trick, please try clearing your browser cookies and then attempt to sort.

3 | Improved Folder Search Bar

When searching for a particular folder from your list of folders, the search bar will now search across the entire folder name instead of requiring the first word and exact name (Discovery + Litigation).

For example, if you are looking for all Review Sets, you can search for "set", and Nextpoint will return all folders which have "set" anywhere in the folder name.

Note: In Litigation DOCUMENTS    Batches, we have removed the option to search the list of batches, but the list remains scrollable. You may also reference MORE    Data    Imports to review all import batches within your database.

4 | Hyperlinked Folder Name

Previously, only the document counts for each folder or document issue (Litigation) was hyperlinked. We have now added a link to each folder or document issue which will lead you to the full document count for each.

5 | List Location Recall

If you leave the REVIEW or DOCUMENTS tabs (Discovery and Litigation, respectively) and return using the back arrow in your browser, your location in the list will be remembered and highlighted.

3 | Updated Import and Manage Trash button styling

No functionality changes have taken place with these UI updates; however, the Manage Trash button in Review was previously located at the bottom left of your folder list in the REVIEW tab, and it is now located at the top right.

When Filters are open, the Manage Trash button will shrink to only display the trash can icon.
