Run Transcript Reports

Transcript reports within the Transcripts feature let you create comprehensive transcript records either as a summary of annotated issues of one or more reports (Issues Digest Report ), or a complete report (Full Transcript Report ) of a selected transcript in the transcripts list.

ClosedIssues Digest Report

The Issues Digest Report is a summarized report of the sections that contain annotated issues within a single transcript or within multiple transcripts applied to a case. The report allows you to quickly review only the elements of the transcript(s) that contain issues.

Create the Issues Digest Report

  1. Click the Review & Transcripts module and select a case. Click . The Visual Search dashboard is displayed.

  2. Click the Transcripts icon on the left panel.

  3. Click Menu on the far right corner. Select Reports and click Issues Digest Report.

    The Issues Digest Report dialog box opens and the Select Transcripts screen appears. Select the Select All check box to report on all transcripts or select only the check boxes of the desired transcripts for this report. Click Next.

  4. The Select Issues screen appears. Select the Select All check box or select only the check boxes of the desired issue tags you want to display in the report. Click Next.

  5. The Options screen appears.

    Turn on the following options as required:

    Option

    Description

    Separate Annotations by Issue

    Annotations are grouped by the particular issues selected in the Select Issues screen.

    Page:Line Only

    The issues are shown only listed by their Page:Line references. If this option is not sufficient, you can select the Context option instead.

    Note: You cannot select Page:Line Only and Context at the same time - they are mutually exclusive.

    Context

    You can choose to report issues as separated by one of the following:

    • Complete Q/A Pair(s), in which each issue question is paired with its corresponding answer. If the answer is annotated, the corresponding question is included, and vice versa.

    • Show Lines Above and Below, which places lines (the number of which you determine) between the annotated area. The upper limit to the number of lines is generally one page (25-27 lines).

    Output Type

    You can select one of three output types:
    Print, CSV, or Text.

  6. After you complete your selections, click Create Report. Depending on the output you selected, the resulting report displays similarly to that shown in the following examples:
    Print (can be saved as PDF)

    CSV (can be saved as CSV or XLS)

    Text (TXT)

    Note: When generating a CSV or TXT output, the file will save automatically to your browser’s preferred download location, or will prompt you to select a location to save the file to. This is determined by the browser and the preferences that are set up.

Color Discrepancies in Printed Issues Digest Reports

When generating Issues Digest Reports in Print mode, you might come across a scenario in which certain printed/PDFed reports’ issue tag colors are slightly darker than those displayed in the viewer.

In the following example, note that only the Attorney Work Product and Other issues are affected.

This is corrected by selecting the check box for Background graphics in the print dialog box settings. In doing so, the colors are automatically rendered to display in the print/PDF as they do in the viewer.

ClosedFull Transcript Report

The Full Transcript Report displays a report of an entire transcript and contains overlays and/or footnotes that indicate where the annotations occur. There is also a legend of issues listed at the bottom of each annotated page; the issue tags in the legend are color coded and based on the issues reported.

Create the Full Transcript Report

  1. Click the Review & Transcripts module and select a case. Click . The Visual Search dashboard is displayed.

  2. Click the Transcripts icon on the left panel.

  3. Click Menu on the far right corner. Select Reports and click Full Transcript Report.

    The Full Transcript Report dialog box opens.

  4. Select your Transcript.

  5. Select the desired issue tags by selecting the Select All check box, or by selecting individual check boxes for each issue tag.

    To include annotations, turn on Include Annotations. If you do so, you can also choose to turn on Fill Regions.

    • Include Annotations allows the selected issues to be shown as colored vertical lines in the left margin of the annotated regions of the transcript report.

    • Fill Regions allows a selected vertical-lined issue color in the left margin to highlight the text of the respective annotated region of the transcript report.

  6. When the report is generated, you can print it, save it as a PDF, or select additional destinations.
