Overview

Nuix Workstation allows you to export data to create a legal load file that a variety of third-party legal review applications can ingest. Unlike the Export Items function, the Legal Export function allows you to:

Maintain the parent-child relationship of the selected items.

Create a load file that maps the exported items to a file that cross references the items' metadata.

Create a document ID (Bates number) for each item.

Report the full-text content of the selected items.

Optionally export the native file, as well as convert the document as a printed image in either PDF or TIFF format.

Create an opticon file (.opt) file, when image files are produced, that provides links to the image files with associated entries in the accompanying load file (DAT).

Note: The Production Set process is part of the legal workflow that enables you to prepare and check the quality of a set of items according to your requirements. It enables you to export items with corresponding files and metadata in a legal load file. For more details on this feature, see Production tab and for details on exporting data to legal load files, see the Nuix Workstation Guide to Using Production Sets.
