The Items menu contains the following commands and submenu commands for editing, managing, and finding items in the case:

Items command

Function

Tags

Add tags to any selected item, including items in the associated family and/or duplicates

Remove tags from any selected item, including items in the associated family and/or duplicates

Family relationships are generated when items are extracted from other items, such as a zip file or email with attachments. Documents with other items embedded in them, such as a Microsoft Word document embedded with an Excel Spreadsheet, PowerPoint Presentation, or video clip are also examples. Each of these items would be considered related and in a family.

See Tag or code evidence for more information.

Custom Metadata

Add Custom Metadata to any selected item, including items in the associated family and/or duplicates

Remove Custom Metadata from any selected item, including items in the associated family and/or duplicates

installed.)

Performs OCR and inserts searchable text and PDFs back into Nuix Workstation.

See OCR data and Nuix Workstation Guide to OCR Processing for further information.

Carve Unidentified Items

Carves the selected unidentified item. An unidentified item is basically a "blob of data". By running "carving" on it, you search for magic numbers throughout the data that might indicate the presence of actual files and try to extract them. This is typically run over unallocated data on physical disks. You can also do this from a right-click option on selecting items in the Results view. See the Customize data in a Results view row section in View items in the Results pane for details.

Create Item Numbers

Numbers an item directly in the case, outside of any Production Set, that you can edit if required (as it is stored as custom metadata). This is the same as a Document ID in a Production Set which you can use as the item's Production Set Document ID if that Production Set has imported numbering.

Pivot

By time: Set to 30 seconds, 1 minute, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 20 minutes, 1 hour, or 1 day; and further pivot by selecting All, Item Date, Date Accessed, Date Created, or Date Modified.

By location: Set to one 100m, 1km, 5Km, 10km, or 100km; as well as a custom distance.
