        Part 1. Sample Data-Set

þ  Sample Enron data-set available to download at bottom of page

þ  Ingest email PST file into LEP. Instructions on adding documents to LEP can be found here

    o   Sample PST is 3.89 MB

    o   The processing takes less than 10 minutes

    o   The PST file renders 54 documents

    o   Additional information can be found here on ESI processing in LEP

        Part 2. Case Keywords

        Applying case keywords will keep specified terms persistently highlighted without having to re-run the search. This         feature is also used to manage a list of terms in a set of documents, without having to select filters or open the             Search page (no advanced search terms).

þ  Set up Case Keywords for the following Boolean search term query:

                                                     symes OR migration

                                                               

        The Case Keywords will appear highlighted in the OCR and HTML viewers if the terms are available in the                        document.

                                               

                             ** Note: The Case Keywords will be persistent until a user modifies the list by navigating to Case > Case Keywords > Edit

        Part 4.  Search & Filter

           In addition to search, LEP allows search results to be further targeted with the ability to apply filters. A simple               search for “Symes” will result in 52 hits. To narrow those results, a filter for emails sent to a specific person can            be applied.

þ  Enter the search term:                            Symes

þ  Filter using filter option under General Coding in the field ‘To’:
