Field Documentation

📂

DAT File InputRequired

File Input

Start by providing a valid DAT export file as input. This file should contain the full native path of each RSMF file you want to process. Be sure the DAT file aligns with your export format and includes all necessary columns.

File Format	DAT (delimited text file)
Encoding	Choose correct encoding (e.g., UTF-8, ANSI) for accurate data parsing
Requirements	Must include full native path for each RSMF file

Configuration Options

Encoding: Choose the correct encoding (e.g., UTF-8, ANSI) for your DAT file to ensure accurate data parsing
Custom Options: Set any additional parameters based on the structure of your DAT file

🆔

Unique Identifier ColumnRequired

Column Selection

Select the column from your DAT file that represents the unique identifier for each communication record. This ensures each metadata entry remains distinct and traceable throughout the extraction process.

Purpose	Ensures distinct identification for each communication record
Common Fields	Document ID, Control Number, Unique Record ID
Validation	Must be unique for each record in the DAT file

Important Note

This identifier links the extracted metadata back to the original communication record, maintaining data integrity throughout your eDiscovery workflow.

📁

Native File Path ColumnRequired

Column Selection

Choose the column that contains the RSMF file path. This tells the extractor where to locate each RSMF file for metadata processing. The path must be valid and accessible from the system running the extraction.

Path Type	Full file path to RSMF files (absolute or relative)
File Extension	.rsmf (Relativity Short Message Format)
Accessibility	Files must be readable and accessible from processing location

Example Path Formats

Windows: C:\Data\RSMF\file001.rsmf
Network: \\server\share\exports\file001.rsmf

📌

Output LocationRequired

Directory Path

Specify the directory where you want the output DAT file to be saved. This file will include the selected metadata fields extracted from each RSMF file, formatted for easy import into your review platform.

Output Format	DAT file with extracted metadata fields
Permissions	Directory must be write-accessible
Storage	Ensure sufficient disk space for output file

⚠️ Important

Ensure the output location has sufficient space and is write-accessible. The tool will generate a new DAT file populated with the extracted metadata.
