Producing and exporting

When all reviewers have finished checking the items in the case, they can be published (called "produced" in Discovery Accelerator) in a suitable format to present as evidence in court. When items have been produced, their status is changed to Produced and they are locked so that no further changes can be made to their status. Produced items are also assigned a formal Bates number that you define for documents associated with each case.

The export option is less formal than production. You can use this to allow another person, who does not have access to Discovery Accelerator, to view items in the review set. Exported items are not locked and their status is not changed; you can continue to work on them after they have been exported. Exported items are given an export ID but this is different from a Bates number.

Items can be produced or exported as MSG, HTML or PST files. With HTML, you can include item comments and review history information. With PST format, you have the option to set a password and size limit for each PST.
