DISCO Review has implemented a new self-service uploading capability for ingesting data of less than 10GB to our software as service platform. Instead of sending collected data to DISCO via an ftp connection and then filling out a form, you can now upload data yourself, directly through the DISCO Review interface. Litigation support professionals, in particular, will appreciate the ease and added control this new functionality gives them in getting data into our platform. Here’s how it works.
Using the Ingest Natives button in the DISCO Review interface, you can easily drag and drop (or browse to) a ZIP file containing files you want to add to a database. This puts you in complete control of the uploading process and lets you monitor the progress of the upload in real time.
The default mode lets you easily upload files for a single custodian. Simply drag a ZIP file containing any documents you want to add; select either a new, existing, or unknown custodian; and click the upload button. You can also name an upload (ingest) and/or add a tag or tags to all the documents inside the ZIP file.
It’s simple to add files for multiple custodians by creating one folder per custodian inside the ZIP file. We try to automatically match the name of the folder with the name of an existing custodian, but as in the single custodian mode, you can always create a new one.
When you’ve submitted your files, DISCO Review runs the upload, ingests data in the background, and lets you know via a notification when it's finished.
Easily keep track of your upload/ingest sessions
You can also view a list of all the upload/ingest sessions that have occurred for a specific database. You can generate a report for all ingests, or only selected ones, with the simple click of a button.
From the list, you can choose a specific upload or ingest and a pop-up card will show you key information about that specific ingest and all the documents added. You can also download a detailed report with details/errors if you want.
DISCO Review’s new self-service upload capability makes the entire data uploading process easier, while giving you complete control of monitoring the ingest and getting an immediate report on the results. The new upload functionality is available immediately thanks to our software as a service continuous deployment model.
