Keyword Reports (Review)

The Keywords (Review) page in Nebula enables you define individual terms or phrases to be highlighted on the Document Viewer in the Text and HTML views. These keywords can also be used to generate keyword reports.

Using Keywords

Keywords enable you to define terms to be highlighted when they appear on the Document Viewer in either Cull or Review. Keyword highlighting is often used to indicate privileged terms, but is also commonly used to indicate other key information, such as names, which may be important to the document review.

Note: Keyword highlighting is only available in Text and HTML views on the Document Viewer.

Cull

Review

Keywords are grouped into categories and each category can contain multiple terms. The term name appears in keyword reports and identifies the query. The query is the search criteria used to identify the keywords in the database.

Catagory: Corporate Officers

Term NameQuery
CEO"Chief Executive Officer" OR "CEO" OR "President"
