User Management for Dashboard Administrators
Nextpoint is pleased to offer User Management, available to All-Access Dashboard Admins in the Account Dashboard. From here, Dashboard Admins can now effectively view and manage all users in their firm's Nextpoint account.
User Management functionality includes the following:
- View all users in the firm's account and their associated details
- View all databases accessible to a particular user and their last access time
- Revoke a user's access for an individual database(s)
- Revoke a user's access for all databases
- Edit a user's database access level*
- Grant access for an individual database(s)
- Add a new account user, grant database access, and set access level*
*Important to note: Dashboard Admins are only permitted to grant access or edit user access levels in databases which they (the Dashboard Admin) have Advanced Access. This was thoughtfully considered by the Nextpoint team to ensure appropriate security measures are taken when handling access to client data and potentially sensitive materials.

How to Access Different Nextpoint Databases
* This functionality is available for Advanced users only. If you are unable to add a user, contact an Advanced user on your team.
- On the top of any page in Nextpoint Discovery, navigate to USERS > Add New. In Litigation, this function is available via MORE > Users > Add New.
- Enter the emails of the users you want to add, separated by commas.
- Pick the desired Access Level from the drop-down menu.

Please Note:
By adding multiple users at once, it will assign the selected access level to all emails. If you have different access levels you want to assign users, please be sure add the emails as separate groups.

How to Add Users to your Database
The first step for any ranged image import is to take the enclosed .DAT load file and convert it to a .CSV format. This ensures the load file is in a format which Nextpoint can accept and properly process.
Check out the video below for a step-by-step on how you can accomplish the conversion:
Troubleshooting: "My find-replace is not working correctly."
Some clients have had trouble in the past with certain characters being unexplainably replaced during this process, thus altering the desired results of their ending CSV (e.g. inserting the double quote "" unexplainable replaces the character sequence of "th" ). If you notice nuances in your resulting CSV, some users have found Sublime Text to be a helpful text editor alternative.
Definitions to help along the way:
Produced Data / Ranged Image Import: Single-page tiff/jpg image files named by their Bates number, together with document-level text files, any included natives, and document breaks/metadata contained in a load file.
Load File: A load file is used to import images, coding or metadata about a document (e.g., To, From, CC, BCC, and Subject fields within an email) into your Nextpoint database. It sets out links between the documents in your database and the document image files to which each record pertains. This is a critical deliverable for your ranged image imports because, without a correctly structured load file, documents will not properly link to their respective database records.

Create an Endorsement (Bates) Template
Exchange is an exclusive, highly-secure process that lets users create a new database instance, or copy of a collection of evidence with internet speed and zero cost. To exchange, simply select the chosen set of evidence to copy, set the destination, configure your load file and metadata specifications, and initiate the outgoing exchange.
