How to perform a tiff replacement by importing TIFF image files

Description

The eDisccovery Platform allows the user to import tiff files in order to replace document images in the application.

For example; the user may have a set of Excel spreadsheets in a document set which require special handling (such as the exclusion of blank pages or setting print parameters that are different from the spreadsheet’s defaults).  In such situations, Clearwell enables the user to import a set of TIFF images that have been externally generated and associate them with documents that have already been processed into a case.

Method for eDiscovery version 7.1.3 and above

From Case Home click the Imaging and Rendering link.
Click the Import Native Images tab and click Add/Validate Load File button. The Add/Validate Load File dialog window displays.

1. Provide the location information for the OPT load file. 
2. Click Validate. This verifies the integrity of the load file, images and directories and checks to see if the image load file will run successfully.
3. Check the results under the Import Status column:
   • –Ready for Import— Image load file passed validation. Proceed to Step 5.
   • –Ready for Partial Import— Image load file completed validation but some items have errors: 
     • Skip the items with errors and proceed to Step 5.
     • Fix the errors and re-validate.
   • –Failed Items— View the report for details of where the validation failed.
4. Select the green up arrow to begin the import. The Import Native Images displays the results of import actions.
5. Click Import Images to proceed or Cancel to abort the import. Upon completion, check the import status column to confirm that is was successful. One of the following states will be displayed:
   • —Success— All items that passed the validation were imported and native image generation for each was successful.
   • —Partially Finished— One or more items that passed the validation failed the native image generation.
   • —Failed— None of the items that passed validation were imported.

 Verify by viewing the document in the Document Review page under Native View.
