• Linked Exhibit Button - A new option to “Add Linked Exhibit” will now be on the transcript work area ribbon.

  

• Consolidated Clip & Transcript Work Area - Combined the elements of the transcript and clip editing work area into a single, consolidated workspace to create a better user experience.

  

• Export Case Data Location – Added the ability to export the case grid to a file that can be referenced externally at any time without launching the application. The file will be export to a CSV and include the Case Name, Case GUID, Data Path Location, Description, Case Number, Matter number, and Trial Date.

• Full Document-level Issue Management - A new tab panel “Document Issue” to view full document level issue available when selecting “Issues” from the document ribbon bar.

  

• Updated Message in Remove Item Dialogue - Updated the remove item messages to be more specific to the item being removed, i.e., “The issue will be removed from this page”.

• Remove Office 2010 Dependency - Users may now import a CMS & MDB transcript file without the dependence on the Office 2010 legacy library.

• Evidence Alias Search – Improved search to identify alias in Evidence. The search results will now represent the exact phrase and not include words where the alias is a root set of characters.

Fact Management

• Cast Listing Report for Fact Management - The report will give users the ability to see a listing of items for a given cast member or all cast members. Users will be able to report on documents, multimedia, clips, transcripts, and facts.

  

Resolved Issues

• DESK-7430 - OLL load files from TrialDirector 6.8 version failed to load properly into TRIAL DIRECTOR causing all child pages to duplicate. Pages will now correctly import.

• DESK-10498 - PTF and PCF Multi-Volume import would not continue pagination for volumes. For example, if volume one ended at page 150, volume two would re-start at one instead of at page 151. Fixed to continue pagination appropriately.

• DESK-10855 - If a user had a clip with multiple segments and select to save, the segment grid would reset to the beginning. This has been fixed to stay in the current location once save is selected.

• DESK-10814 - When in Administration under role management, a user role could not be removed. Fixed Administration to properly modify roles.

• DESK-10655 – Updated Evidence to adjust background to a dark color when creating an annotation using a light color.

• DESK-10652 – Updated Evidence edits on text annotations to retain control when user moves focus.

• DESK-10653 – Updated Evidence edit annotation to apply highlights over existing non-highlighted annotations to be displayed correctly.
