User Guide 6
1 User guide overview
When working with Relativity as a reviewer, it's important to familiarize yourself with the software's many features.
This guide outlines Relativity’s capabilities and walks you through how you can best use Relativity for document
review, from logging in to creating a word index inside a workspace.
1.1 Navigation
Relativity is an application with many screens and functions. This section describes the Review Interface you use to
review documents and some of the standard procedures you'll need to perform as you use the product.
1.1.1 Logging in
Relativity offers several ways to log in and it's possible to have two or more methods available to you. Your system
admin will provide you with all the information you need to log on. Contact your system admin if you have additional
questions.
For procedures to log in, see Logging in to Relativity.
1.1.2.1 Sidebar
The sidebar allows you to place tabs that you commonly use on the left-side of Relativity so that you can access them
at your convenience.
User Guide 7
Tabs are ordered from top to bottom of the sidebar based on the value entered in Order. The lowest order value
displays at the top and the highest value displays at the bottom.
The total number of tabs that display in the sidebar is determined by the resolution of your browser. Tabs that have
been assigned to the sidebar and do not fit, are available by hovering your cursor over the More icon. If a tab has one
or more child tabs, you can view and select those tabs by hovering over the parent tab's row in the fly-out menu.
User Guide 8
The More icon will display with an orange bar on the right side More to indicate that the active tab is located in the
More menu.
To add a new or pre-existing tab to the sidebar, toggle the Show in Sidebar on and click Save.
Tabs can display in the sidebar with their name and icon. Alternatively, to reduce the width of the sidebar and increase
the number of icons that can display, you can click the collapse arrow icon to only display the icon for each tab.
User Guide 9
1.1.3 All tabs menu
Click the icon at the bottom of the sidebar to display the All tabs menu. Every child tab that a user can view, as
determined by their permissions, will display in the menu in alphabetic order. This menu does not display parent tabs.
User Guide 10
1.1.4 Tab strip
If you select a tab that either has child tabs or is a child tab to a parent tab, the tab strip will display horizontally across
the top of Relativity. If a tab in the tab strip has one or more children tabs, hover your cursor over it to view and select
the desired tab. Depending on the size of your browser, there may be more tabs than can display in the tab strip. You
can hover your cursor over More in the tab strip to view additional tabs in a fly-out menu.
User Guide 11
1.1.4.1 Parent and child tab display
Parent tabs can be displayed in the sidebar or the tab strip. Tabs that have child tabs in the tab strip will display with an
arrow on the right side.
To view the child tabs of a parent tab in the sidebar or tab strip, hover your cursor over the parent tab and the child tabs
will display in a fly-out menu.
User Guide 12
When you select a child tab from the sidebar or the tab strip, you are taken to that page. For example, Production
Sets. In addition to an orange bar displaying underneath the parent tab in the sidebar, the child tab and the path to
reach the active tab is highlighted in blue to help you track your location in the sidebar or the tab strip.
Instead of clicking the drop-down arrow, you can also click the parent tab itself. Clicking the parent tab takes you to the
default child tab, which is identified by the order setting for each child tab.
Note: If a user is not a member of a group with permission to view the tab set as the default Home tab, Relativity
redirects to the lowest ordered tab the user's permissions allow.
1.1.5.2 My settings
Clicking My Settings from within the user drop-down menu opens a settings mode pop-up, which displays your user
information. Click Edit to change your settings.
User Guide 13
l First name—your first name.
l Last name—your last name.
Note: Your first and last name appear as your username throughout Relativity.
l Default Filter Visibility—determines whether or not the filters for columns in views display by default.
l Hidden—hides filters by default.
l Visible—displays filters by default.
l Item list page length—a numeric field indicating the default list length for all lists in Relativity. It can be set
from 1-200.
l Default Selected File Type—the default viewer mode used when first loading the Viewer. Viewer, Native,
Image, Long Text, or Production. If the mode selected is not available, the Viewer will instead use the first avail-
able option. See Viewer on page 64 for details.
l Default Saved Search Owner—determines whether saved searches are public or private by default. If set to
Public, the search is public and all users with rights to it can see it. If set to Logged in User, the search is private
and only the logged in user is able to see it.
Note: Depending on your permissions, you may not have rights to edit the Default Saved Search Owner
field.
l Native Viewer Cache Ahead—if checked, this field pre-loads the next native document in your review queue
when the active document is loaded.
l User-Group Email Notifications—user's preference for email notifications when adding or deleting Users or
Groups.
l All Emails—receive all email notifications.
l No Emails—receive no email notifications.
l Only Failed Operations—receive email notifications on failed operations only.
User Guide 14
Note: Depending on your permissions, you may not have rights to edit the User-Group Email Notifications
field.
1.1.5.3 Dashboards
When you've created a page configuration you'd like to preserve, you can create a customized dashboard. You can
save multiple dashboards to quickly change the page configuration. The item list and any widgets on the dashboard
will update automatically in response to filtering or searching. Dashboards only report on data within the workspace
you are in.
Note: For a list of dashboards that provide an effective starting point for administrators to help review teams
visualize their data set, see Common commonly-used dashboards in the Admin Guide.
The page initially appears with the folder browser on the top left, the search panel on the bottom left and the item list to
the right. Within this new framework, you have multiple options for customizing your display.
You can resize, move, or collapse any panel on the page, including any widgets you create.
l To resize any panel, hover over the line separating the item list from the panel until you see the mouse pointer
change to horizontal arrows, then click and drag.
l To move, hover over the top of the panel until you see the Multi-Direction Cursor icon. Then, click and drag the
panel to the new location.
l To collapse the search panel or browser pane, click the Collapse icon. Once collapsed, click the Show
Browser Panel icon to restore the browser pane or the Show Search Panel icon to restore the search panel.
User Guide 15
Additionally, you can drag and drop panels to rearrange on the page. Click any panel and drag it to a new location. The
other panels will automatically move to accommodate the panel you're dropping.
Dashboards and widgets can be copied over to newly created workspaces if they are part of a template. Dashboards
only report on data within the workspace you are in if data is loaded in the workspace.
Note: You must have the correct workspace permissions to add, edit, or save a dashboard and to save pivot
widgets to your dashboard.
You can also export individual Pivot widgets to Excel or to PNG format from each widget's context menu. See
Exporting a Pivot widget in the Admin Guide for more information.
Note: To enable the Add Widgets button and Pivot functionality for an Relativity Dynamic Object (RDO), you must
select Enabled for the Pivot property in the Object Type Information section for the object.
Creating a dashboard
To create a dashboard:
1. Click the Dashboards drop-down menu in the top right corner of the screen.
Note: You can only access the drop-down if Pivot is Enabled for the given object type.
2. Click New Dashboard to save the current page configuration as a new dashboard.
3. Enter a name and an order number for the dashboard.
Note: The dashboard with the lowest order number will appear by default when you log in to Relativity.
l Pivot charts and tables—you can use Pivot to summarize data in tables or charts to visually analyze trends in
your data.
l Cluster visualizations—on the Documents tab, you can use Relativity Cluster Visualization to render your
cluster data as an interactive visual map by adding a Cluster Visualization widget. This offers you a quick over-
view of your document cluster sets and quickly drill into each cluster set to view sub-clusters and conceptually-
related clusters of documents. Please note that there may be only one cluster visualization widget per dash-
board.
l Communication Analysis—after running the name normalization operation within structured analytics, you
can use this widget to visualize communication frequencies, patterns, and networks between the entities linked
to the documents in the view.
Note: When you reach the maximum number of widgets allowed on a dashboard, the Add Widget button will be
grayed out and a tooltip displays when you hover over it that lets you know the reason you cannot add any additional
widgets to your dashboard. This is controlled by the MaxNumberDashboardWidgets instance setting.
1. Click the Dashboards drop-down menu in the top right corner of the screen to display the list of dashboards
available on the current tab.
User Guide 16
2. Click Save to save the changes to the existing dashboard. Click Save As to save the page configuration as a
new dashboard, and then enter a Name and Order number.
Note: If a dashboard is part of a locked application, the option to save the dashboard is unavailable.
Deleting a dashboard
To delete a dashboard from the current tab you are in, click the Delete icon to the right of the dashboard you want to
delete in the Dashboards drop-down menu.
Click Delete in the Delete Dashboard Confirmation pop-up window to delete the dashboard.
Note: If a dashboard is part of a locked application, the option to delete the dashboard is unavailable.
Renaming a dashboard
To rename a dashboard:
1. Click on the Edit icon next to the name of the dashboard in the Dashboard drop-down menu.
2. Enter a Name and an Order number for the dashboard. The order number controls the order in which the dash-
board displays in the list.
3. Click Save to save your changes.
Note: If a dashboard is part of a locked application, the option to edit the dashboard is unavailable.
Note: If your password has expired, the Reset Password dialog appears automatically when you log in to Relativity.
Your system admin determines when your password expires and the number of previous passwords that you
cannot reuse.
User Guide 17
You can use your new password next time you log in to Relativity.
1.1.7 Favorites
The Favorites menu contains all your bookmarks (Favorites) and the last 10 pages in your browsing history (Recents).
The Favorites menu can be accessed by clicking the Favorites icon in the upper-right part of the page.
User Guide 18
Use Favorites to quickly navigate the Relativity application. If you visit a particular page on a regular basis, minimize
the number of clicks it takes to get there by adding the page as a favorite.
To mark a page as a favorite, click the star to the right of the breadcrumbs at the top of the page. The star turns yellow
and Relativity adds the page to the Favorites section. Relativity doesn't limit the number of pages you can mark as a
favorite.
Relativity records pages in the Recents section on each page load. That means that pop-up windows aren't recorded
as Recents.
User Guide 19
Note: If you're a system admin, you can turn off this feature by editing the RecentHistoryEnabled and
FavoritesEnabled instance setting values. You can also change the number of Recents the Favorites menu displays
by editing the RecentHistoryNumberOfItemsDisplays instance setting value.
Note: Verify that the quick nav Ctrl+/ keyboard shortcut works on custom pages. Contact Customer Support with
any problems.
Open quick nav, and type the name of any tab or workspace.
Any tab or workspace that contains the character string within the name appears in the list of results. Results appear
after you type more than one character, and they refine with each character you type. The results link you directly to
the tab or workspace in Relativity.
Note: In Relativity terms, the search works the same as a leading and trailing wildcard search.
You can click on any result or use the up and down arrow keys to move through the results. Press Enter to navigate to
the selected item.
Your search remains until the page is refreshed or you navigate to a new tab. The Esc key also clears your search
from quick nav. If no text is entered in the quick nav search field, the Esc key closes quick nav. You can also click
anywhere outside the quick nav window to close it.
Quick nav displays three types of results in the following order:
l Workspace tabs—lists all workspace tabs that fit the search criteria and are available with your permission set-
tings.
l Admin Tabs—lists all admin tabs that fit the search criteria and are available with your permission settings.
l Workspaces—lists all workspaces that fit the search criteria and are available with your permission settings.
Click the workspace to go to the default tab for that workspace.
Quick nav results only reflect items available with your permission settings.
The following list highlights more features of quick nav functionality.
l Type the word "home" in quick nav to navigate to your default Home tab.
l Quick nav is enabled or disabled with the QuickNavEnabled instance setting.
l Quick nav is available to look up workspaces and admin tabs from Home for groups assigned the Use Quick
Nav admin permission, and it is available to look up tabs in a workspace for groups assigned the Use Quick
Nav workspace permission.
l The maximum number of returned quick nav search results is limited to any number between 2-50, but the
default is 20.
l The maximum number of searchable characters is 50.

2 Markups
Markups in Relativity refer to highlights and redactions. You can add markups to documents that contain an image
using the Image Viewer. When you open a document in the Native Viewer that has not been imaged, select Image on
the Fly from the Document actions menu to image the document which can then be opened in the Image Viewer.
Note: If two people edit a markup at the same time, an error occurs.
2.1 Highlights
When you create a highlight, a colored box appears in the area you select, just like using a highlighter.
2.2 Redactions
A redaction hides text on a page. In Relativity, you can create several different types of redactions:
User Guide 27
l White Redaction—creates a solid white box with a gray border. The gray border does not print or pro-
duce.
2. Draw the redaction boxes across the sections of the page you want to redact. You can draw in any direction.
1. Click the Redaction Mode icon and select Inverse Redact from the drop-down menu.
2. Draw the inverse redaction boxes across the sections of the page you do not want to redact.
A blue cast indicates where you will add the black redaction, and the white box indicates the area that is not
redacted. You can move or re-size the white box using the controls. You can also highlight text that is not redac-
ted.
User Guide 28
You can also create a keyboard shortcut to apply a full-page redaction. See Creating keyboard shortcuts in the Admin
guide.
After you apply a full-page redaction, you can resize it to make it smaller than the full page and then work with it like a
normal redaction. Additionally, you can create new redactions on top of a full-page redaction if desired.
1. Click the Redaction Modeicon and select Mass Redact from the drop-down menu.
The Mass Redact Options pop-up appears.
2. Select the type of redaction to apply. You can select from the following:
User Guide 29
2. Select any control and drag to re-size the markup.
3. Optionally, you can also re-size markups using the arrow keys.
l To re-size a markup in a larger increment, press Shift + the arrow key on your keyboard that points in the
direction you would like to expand the markup.
l To re-size a markup in a smaller increment, press Ctrl + Shift + the arrow key on your keyboard that
points in the direction you would like to expand the markup.
You can move markups individually or as a set. To select multiple markups on a page,
click the Selectoricon and drag across the markups. Alternatively, press Shift or Ctrl and click to select individual
markups, or click Ctrl + A to select all markups on an image. Controls appear on the corners and edges of all selected
markups.
To move, click and drag the selected markups to a new location. You can also move selected markups using the arrow
keys. To move a markup in a larger increment, press the arrow key on your keyboard that points in the direction you
would like to move the markup. To move a markup in a smaller increment, press Ctrl + the arrow key on your keyboard
that points in the direction you would like to move the markup.
1. You can use any of the following methods to select markups for deletion:
l Left-click and drag the selection box over the markups you wish to delete.
l Hold down on Ctrl on your keyboard, and left-click on each markup you wish to delete.
l Right-click on a markup after selecting any other markups you would like to delete.
2. Select Delete from the right-click menu.
The Delete Markups modal displays.
3. Verify that you wish to delete the number of markups displayed in the modal and click the Delete X Markups
button.
The selected markups are deleted.
Note: If you have a full-page redaction applied to an image, then you apply an additional full-page redaction, the
most recently applied full-page redaction appears on top. If you then delete the second redaction, the first full-page
redaction persists.
User Guide 30
2.4.2 Working with markups outside of page boundaries
If you have markups that exist outside the boundaries of an image, such as those created by custom applications, they
will render in their currently saved coordinates in the Viewer. Interacting with the markup by attempting to move or
select it will move the markup within the page boundaries. This change is saved and audited in the workspace.
User Guide 31
2.4.3 Editing redaction text with a markup set
When you create a text redaction, it will display the most recent word or phrase you entered while editing a redaction.
If you have never edited or created a text redaction before, it will display Redacted instead.
To perform this task you need the permissions for the markup sets object as well as the individual markup set you wish
to use.
To edit the text in a text box redaction using the default text for a markup set:
1. Choose the desired markup set from the drop-down list in the bottom-left corner of the Viewer.
2. Right-click the redaction and select the default redaction text from the markup set.
User Guide 32
2. Select the markup types you want to delete. You can select Non full-page redactions, Full-page redactions,
Highlights, or any combination of these.
3. Select the range of pages from which to delete the selected markups. You can select Current page, Pages,
enter a set of pages, or All pages in document.
4. Click Delete Markups. The selected markup types are deleted from the range of pages you selected.
User Guide 33
You can click anywhere on the markup row to jump to the page where the markup occurs. In addition, Relativity
updates the active markup set to the one associated with your row selection in the Markup Navigation pane.
User Guide 34
3 Persistent highlight sets
With persistent highlight sets you can configure and apply term highlighting to assist with document review in the
Viewer. In the Persistent Highlight Sets pane of the Viewer, you can see all sets saved in a workspace and apply or
hide term highlights in the document you are reviewing.
If a document you are reviewing contains any of the terms specified in a set, the list of terms and the number of times
they appear in the document appear under the set. If a document contains no terms from the set, you can not expand
or collapse the set in the tree. If the document contains some terms in the set, only the terms that exist in the document
appear below the set name.
System admins can control which highlight sets different users see when working within a document. See Workspace
security in the Admin guide.
Persistent highlight sets are independent of markup sets. See Markup sets in the Admin guide.
User Guide 35
3.1.1 Showing and hiding persistent highlight sets in the Viewer
To view the list of available persistent highlights sets and related terms in the Persistent Highlight Sets pane, click the
Persistent Highlighting icon in the left drawer.
Click the next to a persistent highlight set to expand it and show the list of terms from that set found in the
document. By default, all persistent highlight sets are enabled in the Viewer, and terms found in a document are
selected in the Persistent Highlight Sets pane and highlighted in the document. Click a persistent highlight set's name
or the icon to hide all term highlights from the set in the Viewer. When a persistent highlight set's icon is and the
terms appear partially transparent in the Persistent Highlight Sets pane, the term highlights for the set are hidden in
the Viewer.
User Guide 36
Clear a term's check box to hide its highlights in the Viewer. Select its check box to apply highlighting for the term in
the Viewer again.
While using persistent highlight sets, you can determine whether terms that do not have any hits display in the
Persistent Highlight Sets pane or not. If the Show terms with zero hits option is enabled, all terms in a persistent
highlight set, including those with zero hits display in the Persistent Highlight Sets pane. If the Show terms with zero
hits option is disabled, then any terms in a persistent highlight set that are not present in the current document will not
display in the Persistent Highlights Set pane. For example, if you created a set named Investments that contains five
highlight terms and have the Show terms with zero hits option disabled, only three of the terms show in the pane for a
particular document, because the other two terms have no hits and thus, are not present in the document.
Note: The Show terms with zero hits option does not support highlight fields that are based on search term reports.
While the persistent highlight set displays in the Persistent Highlight Sets pane, the highlight field terms do not dis-

3.1.2 Navigating persistent highlight hits in the Viewer
You can navigate through the hits for a persistent highlight set or for a term while viewing a document in the Viewer.
Click on either the persistent highlight set or the desired term in the Persistent Highlight Sets pane and the Go to
Next/Previous Highlights icons display in the row.
You can use the Next/Previous icons to cycle through the hits for either the persistent highlight set or the highlighted
term. Regardless of where you are in a document, when you click the Next icon for the first time, you will be taken to
the first highlight in the document for that persistent highlight set or term. Even if you have moved past it while
browsing the document.
Clicking the Next/Previous icons also emphasizes the actively navigated highlight with an orange glow to help you
track which one is active.
User Guide 38
When you select a persistent highlight term in the Persistent Highlight Sets pane, in addition to highlighting all
instances of that term in the body of an email, the Viewer also highlights instances of the term in the email header.
The number of terms and hits is listed to the left of the persistent highlight set's name. It is possible to have many
highlight sets enabled but no highlights appear in a document.
Selections made in the Persistent Highlight Sets pane persist throughout a user's session in Relativity. This includes
any of the following changes related to the Persistent Highlight Sets pane in the Viewer:
User Guide 39
You can also search using the search bar on the document list. The search bar lets you choose a search index, find
search term matches, and then view matches in the Your recent searches section across different documents. The
search term matches stay highlighted while navigating between documents as long as you do not remove the search
condition from the search panel or log out of Relativity.
To perform either a dtSearch or Keyword search in the Your recent searches section:
1. Optionally, click on the Persistent Highlighting icon to expand the Persistent Highlight Sets pane.
2. Click the + Add Term button.
3. Enter the desired dtSearch or Keyword search terms in the textbox.
4. Click the Confirm icon or press Enter on your keyboard.
The Your recent searches section updates with the number of matches and any matches are highlighted in yel-
low in the current document.
Optionally, you can select a search in the Your recent searches section and use the Next/Previous icons to cycle
through the matches. Regardless of where you are in a document, when you click the Next icon for the first time,
you will be taken to the first highlight in the document for that persistent highlight set or term. Even if you have moved
past it while browsing the document.

3.1.4.1 Actively navigated and inactive highlights
To support advanced highlights within persistent highlight sets, two types colors can be available in the Viewer -
actively navigated and inactive highlights. The colors are the same, but have a different level of opacity. Active
highlights are the highlights that the Viewer is focused on. Active highlights are at full opacity and inactive highlights
are at a lower opacity level. See Color-coding persistent highlights for more information.
Note: Beginning in Relativity 11.3.1, the auto-contrast feature has been added to color-coding persistent highlights.
This feature automatically determines the text color based off the background color you select to ensure readability
no matter which colors are selected. For example, if the background color is closer to black, the text will
automatically be white or if the background color is closer to white, the text will automatically be black.
Note: The opacity level of the highlights for proximity searching and inactive terms can be adjusted by editing the
value of the ViewerHighlightStyleDefault instance setting.

l A synced standalone Viewer will not display changes made to a persistent highlight set, such as terms selected
or unselected, in the pane of the main Viewer. However, Persistent Highlight Sets pane settings remain the
same in the standalone Viewer as the reviewer goes from doc-to-doc.
l The Persistent Highlight Sets pane maintains its current state when you swap Viewer panes.
l The Persistent Highlight Sets pane in the Extracted Text Viewer and Native Viewer are independent of each
other. A change made to the pane in the Extracted Text Viewer is not automatically reflected when the reviewer
switches to the Native Viewer and back.
l Advanced persistent highlighting, available when using a search term report as a highlight field source, is only
available in the Native and Extracted Text Viewer. See Using the highlight fields source on page 47.

4. Click Save.
Note: Verify that reviewers are not actively reviewing documents when creating persistent highlight sets. Creating
persistent highlight sets while reviewers are actively reviewing documents can cause errors.
3.2.1 Fields
Persistent highlight sets include the following fields.
l Name- the descriptive name under which you want this set to appear in the Viewer and item list.
l Order -the order in which you want this set to appear.
l Source - determines the area the set draws from when designating characters to be highlighted and displayed
in the Viewer. There are two options:
l Highlight Fields - designates fields as the source of highlighting. Highlight Fields is capable of using
dtSearch functionality. Selecting this radio button means you must select a Highlight Field in order to
save this set.
l Terms- designates terms as the source of highlighting. Selecting this radio button means you must enter
terms into the Terms field below to save this set.
l Highlight Fields- choose the field referencing the list of terms to be highlighted. Click the Select button to bring
up the system view called Field Picker on Persistent Highlight Sets, which displays the Name and Object Type
for applicable multiple object fields. It also includes those created by search terms reports. To select the desired
Highlight Field, check the field’s box, click Add, and click Set. The field displays on the layout. See Using the
highlight fields source on page 47.
Note: If your search terms report is run against a dtSearch index with a customized alphabet file, the hits on
the STR may not match the highlights rendered in the Viewer. Depending on how the alphabet file has been
customized, you may see fewer highlight hits rendered in the Review Interface.
User Guide 44
l Terms - enter terms you wish to highlight and select the color code to distinguish them in the Viewer. See Enter-
ing highlight terms below.
Note: Beginning in Relativity 11.3.1, the auto-contrast feature has been added to color-coding persistent highlights.
This feature automatically determines the text color based off the background color you select to ensure readability
no matter which colors are selected. For example, if the background color is closer to black, the text will
automatically be white or if the background color is closer to white, the text will automatically be black.
Highlights are rendered at full opacity (using the original highlight color) when they are active. When they are not
active, they will be rendered in a lighter shade of the original highlight color.
Note: The opacity level of the highlights can be adjusted by editing the value of the ViewerHighlightStyleDefault
instance setting.

If you enter terms with no color-coding, the background defaults to magenta and black text.
Note: Default has different implications for text and background. The default background color is white and the
default text color is black.
l Enter a term that you want highlighted and press Enter. You can enter multiple terms but each one must be on
a separate line.
l Enter terms for persistent highlighting exactly as they appear in the document. Don't use quotation marks and
connectors.
User Guide 46
Note: Quotation marks are not compatible with persistent highlighting with terms as a source, which auto-
matically searches for an exact phrase. Quotation marks are compatible when using highlight fields as a
source however. Using highlight fields as a source can result in slower document loading speeds.
l Keep lists simple. Do not use punctuation, special characters, or operators. Do not use dtSearch syntax when
entering a list of terms as the source for the set. You may use dtSearch index terms in a search terms report,
then use Fields as the Persistent Highlight Source instead to support highlights for dtSearch syntax.
l AND or OR operators are not used in keyword searching. If used, Relativity looks for the exact phrase
including AND or OR. For example, you entered these search terms: Apple AND Banana. Relativity high-
lights the entire phrase apple and banana in the document. Separate occurrences of apple, and occur-
rences of banana, are not highlighted.
l Persistent highlight set terms do support wildcards. You can view highlighted terms that contain an *
(asterisk) character, including a wildcard in the middle of a term. For example:
l term* matches and highlights any word that starts with term with zero or more following characters.
l *term matches and highlights any word that ends with term with zero or more preceding char-
acters.
l *term* matches and highlights any word that has term in it with zero or more preceding or following
characters.
Note: Persistent highlights generated by a search terms report don't automatically update after you load new data
into a workspace. To incorporate the text from new documents, perform either a full or incremental build on the
dtSearch Index, then a full or incremental build on the search terms report.
To select a Highlight Field, check the field’s box, click right arrow to move it the right section. Once all of the desired
fields have been selected, click Apply. The field appears on the layout.
Note: We recommend selecting a search terms report or the Domains field as your highlight fields source.
User Guide 47
When using a Search Terms Report as the highlight fields source, the number of terms that Relativity searches for will
vary among different records. Relativity only looks for the terms listed in the Search Terms Report for that document.
Relativity exhibits similar behavior when using an email Domains field as the highlight fields source. Relativity only
looks for the email domains listed in the field for that document.

3.4.1 Best practices
Consider the following guidelines when creating or adding terms using Search Terms Reports as the highlight fields
source:
User Guide 49
that the Viewer is focused on and display with full opacity. Inactive highlights display at a lower opacity level.
l Persistent highlight does understand proximity searching. If you enter the phrase Relativity w/5 software
as a search term, the search term report uses a dtSearch to find and tag all documents that meet the cri-
teria. When viewed in the Viewer, the persistent highlighting functions as a dtSearch.
l Persistent highlights does understand the stemming character (~). If you enter the term apply~ as a
search term, the search term report finds and tags all documents with the word apply, or any document
that stems from apply; including applied, applies, application, and so on. When looking at the document
in the Viewer, the persistent highlight functions as a dtSearch. See Search terms reports on page 53 for
information on supported syntax.
l Any operator in quotes will be treated as literal by the Viewer search. For example, stemming “~” and wild-
card “*” operators. However, dtSearch will treat stemming and wild card operators in quotes not as literal,
but as the operator itself. For example, "run~” in the Viewer will find the exact phrase “run~” and "run~” in
dtSearch will return hits for run, runner, running, etc.
l Do not use "AND" or "OR" connectors. Persistent highlighting looks for the exact phrase, trade and complete,
instead of the word, trade, and the word, complete.
User Guide 50
l Proximity, fuzziness, and stemming logic cannot be used in a Terms Search. Consider using Highlight Fields to
access these search features as described below. The system ignores the dtSearch syntax. Terms receive no
highlight if you use these advanced searching features. The search terms report Count column still lists the num-
ber of matching terms. For example:
l The search term, oil w/10 water, searches for the exact phrase oil w/10 water.
l If you enter the term apply~ as a search term, persistent highlighting technology looks for the term apply
followed by any special character.
l Avoid using terms with a large number of hits per document. Persistent highlighting highlights each hit. For
example, it takes longer to load a Word document containing 1,000 instances of a single term.
l Avoid using terms that only occur once in a document. Use search terms reports for those terms instead.
l Avoid long lists of numbers, such as Bates numbers or account numbers.
l Do not use duplicate terms.
Use the following techniques to optimize your searches:
l Use the dtSearch Dictionary to identify variations of a term instead of using wildcards.
l Identify which terms should be in the highlight set and which terms are not necessary.
l You may want to avoid highlighting terms with high word counts.
Note: To highlight terms using objects, create a fixed-length text field for your object called Highlight Colors. You
can enter color-coding in this field using the format: [highlight color];[text color].
User Guide 51
l Enter terms exactly as they appear in the document.
l You can use operators such as AND and OR. For example, if you enter these search terms: Apple AND
Banana, Relativity would highlight the two terms “apple" and "banana” in the document. See Search terms
reports on the next page for more information.
l Wildcards are useful in some cases. For example, the search term appl* highlights apple, application, applies,
and so on. An excessive use of wildcards affects performance. Leading wildcards such as *itting, are not recom-
mended. Using asterisks in the middle of a term don't count as wildcards.
l dtSearch operators can be used to highlight searches when used for a Persistent Highlight Sets in the Native
Viewer. You must use a Highlight Fields source (such as a Search Terms Report results field) to use dtSearch
syntax. Relativity dtSearch operators are not supported in the Extracted Text Viewer. The highlights for these
searches use the active and inactive highlighting functionality. Actively navigated highlights are the highlights
that the Viewer is focused on and display with full opacity. Inactive highlights display at a lower opacity level.
l Proximity searching logic can be used with Highlight Fields. If you enter the phrase "Relativity w/5 soft-
ware" as a search term, the search term report uses a dtSearch to find and tag all documents that meet
the criteria. When viewed in the Viewer, the persistent highlighting functions as a dtSearch. See Search
terms reports on the next page for information.
l Stemming, including the stemming character (~), can also be used with Highlight Fields. If you enter the
term "apply~" as a search term, the search term report finds and tags all documents with the word apply,
or any document that stems from apply; including applied, applies, application, and so on. When looking
at the document in the Viewer, the persistent highlight functions as a dtSearch. See Search terms reports
on the next page for information.
l In Search Terms Reports, you can the Dictionary Search function to identify search terms using stemming or
fuzziness. Copy the list of terms returned in this search. Paste them in the Add Terms box on the Search Terms
Report form. Doing this enhances your search term list, while avoiding errors caused by special characters.
l Use the dtSearch Dictionary to identify variations of a term instead of using wildcards.
l Identify which terms should be in the highlight set and which terms are not necessary.
l You may want to avoid highlighting terms with high word counts.

6 Searching
Relativity includes flexible search features designed to facilitate the document review process. These features support
a range of searching needs from filtering on fields and simple keyword searches to the development of complex
queries. The following list summarizes the searching features available in Relativity.
6.1 Filters
You can use filters to limit the documents or items that appear in item lists on Relativity tabs and pop-ups. When you
enable the filters for an item list, you can set criteria on single or multiple fields so that only matching documents or
items appear in the view.
Filters query across the searchable set of documents in the active view to return your results. Relativity supports
multiple filter types so that you can choose the best format for different field types. See the Searching Guide for more
information.
6.5 dtSearch
Available on the Documents tab, you can use dtSearch's advanced searching functionality to run queries with
proximity, stemming, and fuzziness operators, along with basic features such as Boolean operators and wildcards.
System administrators can create a dtSearch index for a specific subset of documents in a workspace, and then
assign security to it. They must manually update indexes when you modify the document search sets used to create
them. See the Searching Guide for more information.
User Guide 55
6.6 Analytics
Supporting conceptual searching, Analytics includes documents in a result set when they contain similar ideas or
conceptual relationships, rather than matching specific search terms or conditions.
You can create searches with Analytics that categorize your documents based on the concepts contained in a sample
document set. Instead of categorizing documents, you can also perform clustering, which uses specific algorithms,
system-defined rules, to identify conceptually related documents. See the Searching Guide for more information.
With the search condition option, you can build queries using the same condition options available for saved searches.
You can click Save as Search on the Documents tab to create saved searches based on the criteria defined for
keyword searches, dtSearches, Analytics, or the search conditions option. See the Searching Guide for more
information.
You can also use the search bar to view recent searches. Click in the search bar to see up to 10 of the most recent
searches from any index in descending order, with the most recently run search first.
Select any search from the list to run that search. To clear the list, click Clear Recent Searches.
User Guide 56
you use search options in conjunction with another search feature, documents must both meet the search criteria and
also the conditions specified.
Note: To use the search conditions option, you must have add or edit permissions for Search and access to the
Saved Searches Browser assigned to you through the Security page. See Workspace security in the Admin
Guide.
User Guide 57
6.9.1.3 Using the multiple object condition builder
You can set conditions for multiple object fields from a single pop-up window. The following example uses Batch as
a multiple object field condition.
To use the multi-object condition builder, follow these steps:
3. Select the desired operator from the Operator drop-down list. For example, these conditions.
4. Click Add Condition.
5. Select the condition from the Add Condition drop-down list. For example, Batch:: Batch Set.
6. Click the available fields from the Available column and move them to the Selected column as desired.
7. Click Apply.
8. (Optional) Click Add Logic Group to add a logic group. Logic groups are evaluated first and then connected to
other filter conditions or logic groups using AND / OR operators.
9. (Optional) Drag and drop conditions into logic groups as desired.
10. Click Apply on the Condition: Batch window.
Relativity applies your search conditions.
For more information about multiple object searching logic, see Multiple object searching.
Note: Relativity creates an audit record in the History tab for canceled queries. The query description displays the
running time of the query and indicates that it was canceled. You must have the appropriate permissions to view this
tab.
The following table explains different scenarios in which you might cancel a running query and whether the query

7 Tabs
A workspace contains tabs that provide you with easy access to different Relativity features, including documents,
search terms reports, views, and other default functionality. Relativity is a highly customizable platform. Commonly
used tabs can be added to the Sidebar so that they can conveniently be accessed at any time.
Note: RelativityOne includes a tool that allows you to choose a workspace to use as a source template for tab
structure and then lets you apply that template across multiple workspaces in your instance.
You can also apply any workspace template with a tabs arrangement that best serves your review needs. Some
workspace templates also include custom tabs for specialized functionality.
You can add custom tabs in workspaces or at Home. Users with admin rights also have access to a Tabs tab from
Home. The functionality of this Tabs tab is the same as the Tabs tab in a workspace.
In addition, Relativity automatically creates a tab when you add a new object type.
7.2 Fields
Information on the fields in the Tab Information and Tab location are described below.
User Guide 60
7.2.1 Tab Information
l Name - the tab’s name. This field must be between 1 and 50 characters. Be as concise as possible when nam-
ing tabs.
l Tab Type - determines the type of tab you want to create:
l Object - creates a tab for a non-document object in your workspace.
l Parent - establishes the tab as a parent tab. Existing tabs can then be set as children of the parent tab,
which causes them to display in the Sidebar's fly-out menu or in the Tab strip when the parent tab is cur-
rently selected. Selecting this option changes the layout by hiding the Object Type and Set as Default
fields.
l External - link to any URL or object type in Relativity.
Note: Selecting External from the Link Type menu causes the Link field to appear below the Parent
field. In the Link field, you can enter a web address to link to a URL.
You can create a link from a tab to an Relativity Dynamic Object (RDO) or a script, using either an Artifact
ID or GUID. To create links to other objects, you must use their GUIDs. For information about working
with objects that don't have GUIDs, see Tabs on the previous page.
Use the following token to link to an object: ObjectArtifactIdentifier=[identifier], where [identifier] is the
GUID of the object, or in the case of RDOs and scripts, the GUID or Artifact ID. For example, you would
use the format ObjectArtifactIdentifier=736b1c1f-d22f-43cf-9094-cc8acf94c60 to create a link from a
tab to the object with this GUID.
Use the following case insensitive text replacement options to customize the URL, allowing you to display current
details about your workspace:

%ParentArtifactID% ParentArtifactID=<Current Parent ArtifactID>
%SystemID% SystemID=<Current System ID>
%SelectedSearchArtifactID% SelectedSearchArtifactID =<Current Search Artifact ID>
l Object Type - determines which object’s information is displayed in the tab for those specified as Link Type =
Object.
l Set as Default Tab - toggle on to make this tab serve as the workspace’s default tab. Reviewers logging in to
the workspace are taken to the default tab. If a reviewer does not have access to the default tab, he or she is dir-
ected to the Documents tab instead.
l Visible - toggle on to display this tab from the Sidebar, Tab strip, and/or Quick nav.
l Relativity Applications - add this tab to a Relativity application. Clicking the Select button brings up a list of
available applications.
l Show in Sidebar - toggle on to add this tab to the Sidebar. Depending on the number of tabs that have already
been added to the Sidebar, the Order value assigned to this tab, and your browser's resolution, the tab may be
displayed in the More menu if it does not fit into the current Sidebar.
l Parent - select a parent tab to assign the current tab as a child tab. The current tab will display in the fly-out
menu for the parent tab.
l Order - represents the position of the tab by a numerical value. It can be any positive or negative integer. You
cannot use decimals in this field. The lowest-numbered tab displays at the top of the Sidebar. The highest-
numbered tab displays at the bottom of the Sidebar or in the More menu. Items that share the same value are
sorted in alphanumeric order.
Note: It's always a good idea to set tab order by 10's, starting with 10, then 20, then 30, etc. By numbering in
groups of 10 you can insert an item into any position later in the workspace, without the need to reorder (for
example, you can use 10, 20, 25, 30, 40 to insert a new tab between 20 and 30).
User Guide 62
7.3 Nesting children tabs
You may prefer to nest several tabs within a parent to reduce clutter in your Relativity interface and make tabs easier
to locate. You must first specify a tab as a parent (step 1) and then specify children tabs (steps 2-4).
1. Create a new tab with a Tab Type of Parent or edit an existing tab.
2. Click the Edit icon next to the tab you want to nest.
3. Choose the parent tab name under the Parent drop-down menu.
4. Click Save.
Repeat for each child tab you wish to nest. Hover your cursor over the parent tab to display the nested child tabs in a
fly-out menu.

8.12 .eml and .msg header dates and times in the Viewer
.eml, .msg and RSMF documents have header dates and times in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) format. The
Relativity Native Time Zone Offset field determines how these date/time values are displayed in the Native Viewer,
based on the desired time zone and its offset from UTC.
Note: Relativity does not automatically account for Daylight Savings Time. For documents processed in Relativity,
DST rules are automatically taken into account when calculating the Relativity Native Time Zone Offset value. For
all other documents, if you need the Viewer to account for Daylight Savings Time, deploy the Set Native Timezone
Offset With DST script. You must be a Relativity admin to deploy this script.
Note: The Thumbnail Viewer may not be available in the Native Viewer for document types that do not paginate
such as spreadsheets or plain text.
Note: You can change the value of either of the fields at any time while in the Document Compare window.
3. Select the desired document from the list and click Set. The Document Compare window displays the selected
document in the With field.
4. Click Compare. The window displays the similarities and differences between the documents.
5. The similarities and differences between the documents are reflected in the legend at the bottom of the window:
l Inserted - text appears in the "With" document but doesn't appear in the "Compare" document.
l Deleted - text appears in the "Compare" document but doesn't appear in the "With" document.
l Unchanged -text appears in both documents.
Note: Relativity does not support any third-party applications after the user downloads a file. This includes specific
browser and media-player combinations, such as Internet Explorer and Windows Media Player.

Note: As of February 2025, the new Feature Permissions redefines Relativity's security management by shifting the
focus from Object Types and Tab Visibility to feature-based permissions. This new method is simply another option;
any feature-specific permissions information already in this topic is still applicable. This new interface enables
administrators to manage permissions at the feature level, offering a more intuitive experience. By viewing granular
permissions associated with each feature, administrators can ensure comprehensive control, ultimately reducing
complexity and minimizing errors. For details see Instance-level permissions and Workspace-level permissions.
2. Click New Workspace to create a new workspace. If you want to edit an existing workspace, click the pencil
icon next to the workspace name.
3. Complete the fields in the form. See Fields on the next page.
4. Click Save. A window displays the progress of the workspace creation process. You cannot access the work-
space until it is created and its status is Active. If needed, close the progress window to continue working in
RelativityOne. This will not interfere with the creation process.
To find out the status of the workspace, review the Workspace State column in the Workspaces list:
l Active—the workspace is available for use.
l Creating—the workspace is in the process of being created.
l Cold storage—the workspace has been migrated to Cold Storage. See Migrating and retrieving work-
spaces to and from cold storage on page 133.
l Name—the name used to identify the workspace. This must not exceed 50 characters.
Note: You can edit a workspace name at any time without affecting any data. The root folder name for the
workspace updates along with the workspace name.
l Matter—the case or legal action associated with the workspace. Click Select to choose a matter. The Select
Item - Matter modal displays a list of matters based on the conditions set in the MattersOnPicker view.
l Template Workspace—an existing workspace structure used to create the new workspace. Click Select to
select a template. The Select Item - Template Workspace modal displays a list of templates based on the con-
ditions set in the WorkspacesOnPicker view. For more information, see the Admin Guide.
Notes:
l Any groups that are part of a template workspace will also be a part of the client domain workspace.
We recommend removing these non-client domain groups to prevent the client domain admin from see-
ing information on non-client domain users and groups.
l We recommend selecting an empty workspace without any documents as a template to prevent poten-
tial errors when trying to clean up all the references.
l Workspace Admin and Client Domain Admin permissions are not copied from the workspace template
when a new workspace is created. They are taken from the Sys Admin permissions.
All of the following non-document objects in the template copy to the new workspace:
Note: To enable an automatic carryover of Imaging Sets to newly created workspaces, confirm the
Copy Instances on Workspace Creation setting within the corresponding Object Type template
workspace (Imaging Set) is set to Yes.
Note: Only export type Integration Point profiles with a source and destination of Relativity are copied.
l Layouts
l Markup sets
l Native types
l OCR profiles
l OCR sets
Note: To enable an automatic carryover of OCR sets to newly created workspaces, confirm the Copy
Instances on Workspace Creation setting within the corresponding Object Type template work-
space (OCR Set) is set to Yes.
Note: The SQL Server settings determine the languages available in this list. Contact your system
admin if you require additional languages. For information on configuring and managing word break-
ers, go to Microsoft's guidance on Configuring & managing word breakers & stemmers for search (SQL
server).
l Workspace Admin Group—determines the group that has workspace admin permissions over this
workspace. Click Select to choose a workspace admin group. See Workspace admin group on page 138
for more information.
l Keywords—any keywords you want to associate with the workspace.
l Notes—any notes you want to add to describe the purpose of the workspace.
Note: You must have Delete permissions for the workspace object in order to delete a workspace.
When you delete a workspace in Relativity, it automatically moves to the Recycle Bin, providing a safety net for
deleted workspaces. You can manually choose to permanently delete the workspace from the system or restore it
within the seven-day period in the Recycle Bin.
During off-hours, the Case Manager agent deletes the following:
l Any documents in the Relativity file repository, except those loaded with pointers.
l dtSearch indexes.
l Analytics indexes and staging areas.
l The SQL database (Relativity does not delete database logs and backups).
l Select or deselect one or more of the following check boxes: Ctrl, Alt, or Shift for the Control, Alt, and Shift
keys, respectively.
Note: You must select either or both the Ctrl and Alt checkboxes. Relativity displays the error message
<Invalid Keyboard Shortcut> when these checkboxes are not selected.
l In the Key drop-down menu, select a letter, number, or navigation key. The navigation keys include End, Home,
Space, Return, Down Arrow, Up Arrow, Left Arrow, Right Arrow, Page Down, and Page Up.
l
Click the Keyboard Legend icon to display a list of keyboard shortcuts currently in use by the System and
browsers. See Keyboard shortcuts legend.
l Click Clear to reset the options for keyboard shortcuts.
After you have completed your updates, click Save to display the Workspace Details page.
Note: To move multiple users between boxes, click the double arrows. You can also select and double-click
on user names to move the between boxes.
4. Click Save.

Note: Text migration jobs must be run before moving a workspace to Cold Storage.
Note: Migrating a workspace to cold storage is an immediate action that does not impact potential client-
related due date charges. However, once data is migrated to cold storage, it becomes inaccessible.
Notes:
l A workspace in cold storage cannot be used as a template.
l A workspace in cold storage cannot be used by Import/Export or Integration Points.
l When you move a workspace to cold storage, billing continues at the original data tier rate until the
start of the next calendar month. At that point, the system automatically switches to the cold storage
rate.
l To qualify for the discounted cold storage rate, the data must remain in cold storage for the entire
calendar month. To ensure this, move the workspace to cold storage before the end of the current
month. For example, if you move a workspace to cold storage on the 3rd of the month, you won’t
receive the discounted rate until the following month.
l When you move a case between Review and Cold Storage, the system updates the billing status
automatically. However, to qualify for the discounted cold storage rate, the case must remain in cold
storage for the entire calendar month.
l Workspaces in cold storage can be archived directly using ARM without having to be moved to an act-
ive state before archiving. See the ARM content on the RelativityOne documentation site for more
information.
l After moving a workspace to Cold Storage, it must remain there for 30 days before it can be deleted.
For example, if you move a workspace to Cold Storage on January 1st at 11:20 AM, it will be eligible
for deletion after 11:20 AM on January 31st. Once 30 days have passed, the "Delete Workspace"
button becomes available, allowing you to delete the workspace. Before 30 days, you cannot delete
the workspace directly from Cold Storage.
4. Click Retrieve Workspace to retrieve the workspace from cold storage. The Cold Storage Retrieval con-
firmation page displays.
Note: You must have permissions to the documents included in a production to remove production restrictions.
1. Create a saved search with criteria that returns documents that you want excluded from the production set.
Include family groups in your saved search so that all of the family items are kept together and can be removed
if necessary.
2. Click to edit the workspace details page. You can only update the Production Restrictions option when edit-
ing a workspace. See Creating and editing a workspace on page 125.
4. Run your production set. If a conflict occurs, you can override the production restriction if you're a system admin
with the Override Production Restrictions permission. See Workspace security.
Note: While Workspace Administrators have extensive control over their respective workspaces, they do not
automatically inherit the full range of system administrator privileges. Non-standard permissions like "New
Document" must be added. Additionally, the "Workspace" permission is initially set only to "View" status.
Note: You can only designate one group per workspace as a workspace admin group.
l Folders
l Field Tree
l Saved Searches
No matter which of these options you use, there are several display options you can use to customize your workspace.
The Browsers panel opens by default. Hide or expand the Browsers panel by clicking the carrot to the left of Browsers.
If both the Browsers and Search Conditions panels are hidden, click on the Browsers icon to display it. You can also
re-size the Browsers panel by hovering over the line separating the panel from the other panel or document list until
the line is highlighted. You may then click-and-drag the line to the desired dimensions.
Field Tree Browse your documents according to how they were coded or grouped.
Saved Create a new search, or browse previously saved searches.See Saved Search in the
Searches Searching Guide.
Folders
Click on the Folders icon to navigate the folder hierarchy for your workspace. The folder structure is set when
documents are imported. It can be based on the document’s source, or according to a folder structure set by your
Relativity administrator. Clicking on a folder displays that folder’s documents in the document list.
Note: To ensure stable performance, we recommend creating no more than 250,000 folders in a workspace and
having 15 sub-folders or less within each folder.
A folder often has multiple sub-folders. Click on the folder to view the sub-folders. Click on the arrow next to the folder
to hide the sub-folders.
To change the folder scope, click on the This folder and subfolders or Only this folder icon.
Each single and multiple-choice field has its own choice folder in the field tree. The field’s choices appear as sub-
folders. Each field also has a [Not Set] choice, which displays null values for the field.
You can click on a choice in the field tree to display all the documents in the document list that have the selected
choice value and meet the criteria of the active view.
The subject line of the email pre-populates with the following text: Relativity Review - <Workspace Name> - <Choice
Name: Value>. If you send an email link to a choice folder, the subject line displays the folder name instead of choice
name and value.
When the recipient clicks on the link, the documents associated with the choice or folder appear in the document list. If
the recipient does not have required permissions for the choice folder or field associated with the choice, a
permissions denied message displays instead.
Alternatively, you can select Copy Link to Clipboard to copy a link to a view that contains the choice, a choice folder,
or the document list that appears when the field tree is open.
l New documents—click to upload new documents using Simple File Upload. If the Transcripts application is
installed in this workspace, this icon is replaced with a drop-down menu that allows you to choose between
uploading a new document or a new transcript.
l Views drop-down menu—click to select a view.
l New view—click to create a new view from within the view drop-down menu. This icon only displays if
you have permission to add a new view. If the icon is not present, contact your Relativity administrator to
add a view.
Show Document Preview Panel icon will then display in the upper-right. Additionally, users must have the
Document Preview permission in Other Settings assigned to use this feature.
Note: The Document Preview panel does not support viewing hidden content, creating or modifying markups, or
editing coding decisions. Open the document in the Viewer instead to perform these tasks.
l Persistent Highlighting—displays or hides a panel containing any persistent highlight sets in the workspace.
Only terms that are in the current document will display in the pane. Additionally, you can control which high-
lights display in the current document by clicking on either the persistent set to only display highlights from that
set or you can click on a specific term to only see that term highlighted in the document.
l Markup set—displays the active markup set in a drop-down menu. Choose a markup set from the drop-down
menu to make a different set active. This menu only appears when viewing a document in the Image Viewer of
the Document Preview panel.
l Page navigator—use any of the following options to help you navigate the pages in the document you are pre-
viewing:

Note: If your item list does not contain the file icon, contact your Relativity administrator to add it.
9.10.4.5 Sorting
You can use any field in the view to sort all of the results in an item list.
Click any field heading once to sort the items in that field in ascending order, alphabetically. A down arrow appears
next to the heading name, as in the Responsive field below. Click a second time to sort the items in descending order,
alphabetically. An up arrow appears. Clicking the field name a third time clears the sort and returns the field to its
original order.
If you are not able to sort a particular field, contact your administrator to make sure the field has the Sort option set to
Yes.
