alCreating Shared Productions This feature is helpful for tight Production delivery timelines. The secure shared production capacity allows the user to deliver productions with a download link generated from the Discovery>Production job page. From Discovery>Production Job, select a production job by title and then click Edit to open the Production Panel. How to Share Productions After selecting Edit, the production panel will display a check-box as follows: Allow users without account access download this Production; select and then Update. It is also possible to edit the Production Title Comments text-boxes.  After selecting Update, the production panel will display an active hyperlink which can be used to share the selected production.  Productions can be shared by clicking the shared link and copying and pasting the URL or web address from the Shared Production Link page into an email. The email recipient will be able to download the documents (zip file) to a location on his/her computer. Similar to the Shared Download Briefcase feature, when the user clicks the button Go To Shared Download Page it will automatically redirect to the following page. This page also allows the user to copy the URL link or click on the "Click here to download link." The progress table displays an expected time for the entire download based on Internet Speed and size of the zip file. To go back to the Production Job page in order to share a different production, click on the Go Back link located on the top left corner of the page.  Unsharing Productions Open the production panel. Click Edit the Production previously shared and uncheck the box: Allow users without access to the eDiscovery Platform to Download these documents and Update. This action will disable the shared URL link. Deleting Productions Once the user has downloaded/shared the production, it may be deleted from the Lexbe eDiscovery Platform (LEP). Deleting the production will have no effect on the original documents from which the download zip file was created. To delete a production, select the production job title and click Delete Job. Important Considerations When Working With Shared Briefcases and Productions. Security. Briefcases and productions will be transmitted and stored under strong 256-bit (AES-256) encryption, which is the same technology used by leading financial institutions. LEP operates within the Amazon Web Service (AWS) cloud environment and incorporates Amazon’s Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3), and Elastic Block Store (EBS) technology. Amazon is a leading service provider for the infrastructure, network, and physical security layers of a cloud-based network environment. Servers are maintained in secure, limited access, physically isolated data centers, and monitored from network operating centers 24×365. AWS data center personnel do not have logical access to LEP applications or to the data of any LEP customers hosted online. Zip File Compression. All briefcases and productions are compressed in a ZIP file format, because it decreases the chances of data corruption during transmission, and avoids data corruption or errors. Also, unzipped files take much longer to download resulting in lost time on the job. LEP splits the ZIP archives in multiple volumes of a fixed size, non-sequential (for security purposes). Download Zip file One single ZIP. Once the file is downloaded, use a program such as WinRAR to expand the file back to its original size. Double-click on a Zip file and it will open in Explorer, just like a folder. Double-click on any file inside the compressed folder to open and view the documents. Multi Volume ZIP. After downloading all parts, extract the multi volume zip files as follows:  b) Launch WinRAR, and navigate to the directory where the split ZIP files are located, select the parts in the sequence (.Production_Part_1_of_3), right-click the selected parts and click “Extract Here” to keep all parts extracted in the same folder.   c) Once extraction is complete, click “OK” and then double-click on the extract folder to open the Production sub-folder directory:  Size of Productions or Briefcases Size of Productions. Expect an approximately 10 GBs/day rate (~200,000 pages) within LEP (combined all cases) to create and download Productions (including Bates numbering) for Standard PDF productions and 2.5 GBs/day rate (~50,000 pages) if TIFF Productions are selected. Download time is in addition to this, and will depend on Internet download speeds. PDF productions will be approximately the size produced, while TIFF productions expand significantly (generally 3-10X, but sometimes substantially more depending on the specific files). Production creation increases monthly hosting cost as it uses more storage, for at least one month, and longer if not deleted after creation. For larger productions, contact professionalservices@lexbe.com. As a managed service (billable hourly) Professional Services can handle very large productions within days. Windows users can create Productions of any size; however, larger
productions can take a long time to create. MAC OS X does not support
very large Productions. MAC users should create multiple
Download Productions of 2 GB in size. Many computers and browsers have
limits on the file size they can download (e.g., 4 GB). The time it takes to
download a production once created is in addition to this, and will
depend on local Internet download speed. Plan sufficient time
to meet any production deadlines, including quality control
procedures, the possible need to rerun productions if changes are made,
and possible delays in downloads/slower downloads than expected/need to
restart downloads. For example if downloading on a business Internet connection (5 Mbps) with full use, the estimated time
is 30 minutes per GB. On a slower T-1 connection (.7 Mbps) the estimated
time is over 3 Hrs per GB). |
