How to change Legal Production default settings

SYMPTOMS

The commonly used settings for a Production differ from the default settings and it would be more efficient to change the default settings.

CAUSE

RESOLUTION

The default settings are contained in the 'production_template.xml' file which can be found in the '\Program Files (x86)\ZyLAB\EDiscovery\LegalReview\Review_web\App_data\Production' folder.

Some settings, such as margins, are not referenced in the file and must be added. The easiest way to do this is to find the output template for a Production that uses the desired default settings.  The output template can be found under the '\programdata\zylab\legalreview\productions\[MatterNumber]' folder.  Find the desired setting, then modify or add to the 'production_template.xml' file.

Example:

By default for the top, bottom, left, and right margins is set to 0 inches. If the amount of data to be burned onto the image file is a significant length, it could be bleed over the document image. If this occurs often enough, then it would be advantageous to increase the default margins.

After creating a Production with the desired setting, locate the output production file, then locate the <margins> section and copy into the same location of the 'production_template.xml' file. 

If increasing the margin. to 1 inch, the <margin> section being added will look like this:

      <Margin>
        <Bottom>
          <UnitType>Inches</UnitType>
          <Value>1</Value>
        </Bottom>
        <Left>
          <UnitType>Inches</UnitType>
          <Value>1</Value>
        </Left>
        <Right>
          <UnitType>Inches</UnitType>
          <Value>1</Value>
        </Right>
        <Top>
          <UnitType>Inches</UnitType>
          <Value>1</Value>
        </Top>
      </Margin>
