Relativity Key Features
Simple and Clean User Interface
Relativity is easy to use, allowing little-to-no training for novice users.
True Native Review
Relativity preserves native document formats without having to convert to TIFF, PDF, or HTML. At any time, however, you have the option to open documents locally or convert to TIFF for redaction directly from the application. Then, within the viewer, you can navigate through search and pre-highlighted terms, and apply redactions to over 250 document formats.
Streamlined Workflow and Reporting
Relativity can help you manage the entire review process, from initial review to production. Using Relativity's tools, you can batch assign documents, track reviewer progress, enforce consistent tagging among duplicates and attachments, build custom validation rules, and run extensive reports.
Transcripts
A newly integrated transcript viewer has been added to Relativity, which allows users to load and view transcripts, and then search both transcripts and documents together in one easy step. Each transcript will also have a hyperlinked word index available in the viewer.
Embedded Imaging and Production Tools
With Relativity's embedded imaging tools, you can TIFF only the documents that you need to redact. Once you are ready to produce, let Relativity organize and run the production. You can then easily export the final production from our system to your desktop. You can even give production access to your favorite print vendor.
Fast Searching
Relativity allows you to run searches quickly on keyword, full-text, date-range, and other full conditional searches across the entire repository or a specific subset. You also have the option to return documents in attachment families or duplicates even if they do not match your original search query. This makes it easier to perform batch assignments and improves mass-tagging consistency.
Personal Objects & Searches
Relativity allows users to create personal Layouts, Views, and Searches, so reviewers can maintain their own searching and coding interfaces without causing everyone else's interface to become cluttered. Additionally, Advanced and Saved Searches can now be foldered.
Batching
Relativity's one-step batching process has been improved to support hundreds of securable batch sets, allowing for a single, highly scalable interface for assigning document batches to reviewers.
Flexible Application Security
Relativity employs a robust security architecture, which allows object or field security. You control user access down to the individual field. This also aids in securing sub-collections of documents, hiding fields, and exposing specific documents for expert review.
Immediate Collaboration
Relativity is web-based allowing users the ability to access data from any internet-connected computer. Our secure access also allows external vendors to easily load and export information, eliminating the need to FTP and ship CDs from location to location.
Secure On-Demand Deployment
Relativity On-Demand requires no additional hardware or server software to install. As soon as your account is created, you are up and running. We store your data in our state-of-the-art secure data center, which is protected by a comprehensive security system, including 128-bit SSL encryption, redundant managed firewalls, and advanced intrusion detection systems.
Exceptional Customer Service
Our support staff is a mere click or phone call away. With a personalized and solution-responsive approach, we can guide you through the document review process.
Foreign Language Support through Unicode
Major foreign languages, including Chinese, Arabic, Russian, Japanese, and Korean, are supported. All system actions, including reviewing, imaging, producing, and searching are available for documents and document metadata containing foreign languages.
Fully Distributable Architecture
The system support distribution of all its components across multiple servers allowing for potentially infinite horizontal partitioning of the system.

Relativity combined with Planet Data Analytics
FeaturesRelativity, the innovative web-based litigation support platform, incorporates ground-breaking concept search and categorization technology. This technology enables Relativity's Analytics feature set.
What is Concept Search Technology?
Unlike traditional keyword search engines, concept searching is based on how and where ideas and concepts intersect with similar ideas and concepts in a document collection. This is mathematically based – there are no word lists or dictionaries, or linguistic techniques (like sentence structures). The technology is self-training, "learning" all it requires from material being processed. Not only can it identify, classify, and sort information rapidly, it will also find relevant documents that other techniques routinely miss.
Clustering
Feature: Planet Data Analytics can automatically cluster (sort) a collection of documents into subsets based on their conceptual content, without the need for input or setup from a user or administrator to train the system. The natural subdivisions produced by Relativity Analytics provide significant insight into the overall information content of a document collection.
Benefits: Clustering provides an effective tool for analyzing the results of an entire data set or query. By clustering all documents in a database, case teams can more readily separate groups of non-relevant documents from documents of interest that need to be reviewed. By clustering relevant documents in a reviewer's assigned batch, Relativity provides an immediate overview of the batch to the assigned reviewer, giving structure to the review, and increasing speed and accuracy of the individual reviewer and review team.
Categorization
Feature: Use the power of the conceptual search engine to categorize and organize documents in the entire database based on a small set of user examples.
Benefits: Prioritize your review queue. Perform automated quality control of issue coding before depositions, productions, or trial. Run foreign language detection. Organize opposing counsel's production based on issues identified in your collection.
Keyword Expansion
Feature: Select keywords within the Document Viewer and have Relativity produce a list of conceptually related terms in a popup window.
Benefits: Assess and evaluate your client's document collection and proposed keyword lists early. Understand important concepts in opposing counsel's document production. Identify commonly used aliases and e-mail handles. Quickly determine how one keyword relates to all of the documents in the collection.
Similar Document Detection
Feature: Quickly identify and group documents that have virtually the same content. This can be done "on-the-fly" through a right-click in Relativity's innovative Document Viewer, or in a batch process to identify similar document sets for review.
Benefits: Improve accuracy and eliminate wasted review time by keeping conceptually similar documents grouped together during review. Make bulk decisions and assignments. Perform automated quality control by quickly comparing documents coded by the team as privilege or responsive to similar document sets.
Inline Concept Search
Feature: Utilize concept searching within Relativity's innovative Document Viewer by right-clicking on a displayed document. Submit relevant sentences or paragraphs of text or whole documents as a search while viewing the document.
Benefits: Find relevant documents quickly and easily without having to construct a search string, or move to another section of the review application and develop search criteria.
Concept Search
Feature: Run searches based on how and where ideas and concepts intersect with similar ideas and concepts in a collection. Submit sentences or paragraphs of relevant text or the content of entire documents as search criteria.
Benefits: Find more of the relevant documents and less junk. Do it faster and more accurately than by constructing multiple elaborate keyword searches. Avoid the pitfalls of OCR errors affecting search results.
Integrated Keyword and Concept Search
Feature: Combine keywords and concepts in one integrated search.
Benefits: Eliminate the issue of a single keyword having multiple meanings. Find the documents you intend the search to return and avoid false positive hits.
Multiple Concept Indexes
Feature: Create searchable or categorization indexes on-the-fly inside of Relativity.
Benefits: Fine tune indexes and make adjustments for your review team based on the changing needs of the case and new information learned from the documents. Interact dynamically with the document collection.
