Work with Smart Folders

Smart Folders provide a way to find case records/documents based on a case field or document tag group (public tags, not private). Smart Folders are public by default; they can be private if you limit the folder scope to a private search. Smart Folders are “dynamic” in that they will periodically refresh based on changes that are made (such as tagging more documents) that match the defined criteria. You can also close a Smart Folder, then reopen it to refresh the contents.

Smart Folders can be based on a number of system fields and tag groups. Check with your administrator if you have any questions about the fields in your case.

ClosedGetting Started

Smart Folders are located in the Saved Searches & Smart Folders panel on the Visual Search Dashboard and Advanced Search screens in OPEN DISCOVERY Review, as shown in the example in this figure.

  1. In OPEN DISCOVERY Review, click a case card.

  2. Click the Enter Case button.

ClosedCreate a Smart Folder

When creating new Smart Folders, some steps you can take during the planning phase are:

  • Identify the required folder content (field or tag group).

  • Identify and/or create the applicable saved search if you want to limit the scope of the folder to a specific set of documents.

  • Give some consideration to the folder name so that folder content and purpose are clear. If several folders are to be defined, consider naming conventions for consistency and ease-of-use.

  • Ensure that the field or tag group is available in the case or batch (for example, is included in the selected coding form).
