To leverage the full power of CaseFleet, you'll want to perform your review and analysis of relevant documents from within our Document Reviewer, creating facts as you go along. To use the Document Reviewer, upload a document to your case (we accept over 40 file types), then click the "Launch Reviewer" button once the document has been processed.
There are three ways to create a fact from inside the Document Reviewer:
The first and fastest way to create a fact is to use the highlighting feature to copy the exact text of the document. Simply drag your mouse over the text to highlight it. The text from the document will appear in the fact form box as seen on the left side of the screen in the .gif below. The text you highlighted is your fact.
The second way to create a fact within the Document Reviewer is to paraphrase the text you highlight. To do this, uncheck the "copy source text to fact memo" box located at the bottom of the fact form. Now when you highlight text, it no longer automatically appears in the fact form box. This way, you can use your own words to create a fact based on what you highlighted. Note that the original source text is still captured in the "Source Text" box at the bottom of the fact form and can be printed when you run reports (see image below).
The third way to create a fact is to simply click the "cite page" button located in the menu bar at the top of the Reviewer. Use this option if there is no specific text to highlight, such as when creating a fact from a screenshot or photograph.

NOTE: Bookmarks and highlighted text in CaseFleet are designed only for use within the CaseFleet application. When a source document is downloaded from CaseFleet, the document provided is the original file uploaded to your account. |
Document Reviewer Tips
Some additional pointers when creating facts using the Document Reviewer:
To link to a contact to your fact, use the @ symbol to launch a drop-down list of your contacts in the case and select the appropriate one.
By default, the date type is set to "on" a date. To change the date type, click the chevron and select from options including "before" a date, "around" a date, etc. There is also an auto-fill option that will save time if you are creating multiple facts in a row that occur on the same day. (For more information including changing the date format and working with fuzzy dates, click here.)
When you create a fact in the Document Reviewer, a pin cite is automatically generated to denote the page for the evidence that supports the fact. Read here to learn how to edit the pin cite so it reflects a Bates number instead.
Leverage the citations sidebar to quickly access all fact citations in the document, including full-page citations, directly in the reviewer window.
Don't forget to select the issue or issues that pertain to the fact so you can identify why the fact is relevant.
