ClosedResolved Issues

TRIAL DIRECTOR

  • DESK-8241: Fixed application crash during launch if save stages workbook contains too many items.

  • DESK-8240: Fixed application crash during launch if snapshots workbook contains too many items.

  • DESK-7263: Improved performance of presentation when large amount of trial exhibit numbers exists.

  • DESK-7943: Redactions were exposed when applying a highlight annotation. Modifications were made to have highlight annotations appear behind redactions.

  • DESK-7514: Scroll bar would not stay at the top of the list when moving segment to last clip in explorer. The scroll bar will now work properly.

  • DESK-9546: Redaction failure notice would be received when redacting more than two lines. Fixed to now display redactions correctly.

  • DESK-7258: Fixed an issue if you select a portion of a transcript that spans multiple pages (example 9:25 to 10:2), and select to link an exhibit, you are unable to do so, as the page line references is blank, and you could not continue.

  • DESK-9452: Fixed documents explorer grid to properly refresh after assigning Exhibit Numbers (or Trial Exhibit Numbers) w/ "Increment by Page" Enabled.

Review

  • DESK-9575: In processing, mapping a metadata field to a database field with a different name will change the metadata field name to match the database. The metadata field list will now be consistent and always the same list regardless of which database field mapped to.

  • DESK-7266: Cases that have customized metadata field mappings will not show the source metadata fields in Dashboard’s Processing. This happens for both newly created cases with custom database fields as well as migrated cases (with pre-defined metadata field mappings during a prior ingestion) preventing the user from being able to perform metadata field mapping during Processing. Fixed to retain source metadata field mappings when processing.

  • DESK-8485: Wildcard searches do not highlight in native or extracted text as they do in Eclipse SE. Wildcards should now highlight.

  • DESK-7051: Fixed exception when saving transcript search results.
