CloudNine Review: How do I Image Documents in CloudNine Review?
Image Documents in CloudNine Review
You can add an image version of a document with CloudNine Review's Image On The Fly functionality. There are two available options: Image Current Document and Image Current Search.
Notes on Imaging
- Image Current Search is only available to Project Admin users and higher.
- If an Image already exists, the Image Current Document option is unavailable.
- Images are generated and stored as near-native PDFs.
- When producing, you can export images as PDF or TIFF, depending on your project scope.
- If you have a unique request or limited resources and time, our Client Services team is always happy to help. Contact Client Services at 713-462-6464 to discuss your production needs and associated fees.
Image On the Fly Options
The Image On The Fly options are found under the Tools menu in the CloudNine Review project.

Image Current Document
The Image Current Document option generates an image version of the record you are currently viewing. This action is immediate; once the image is generated, the Image tab becomes available, and you can view the imaged version of the document. The Image Current Document option is not available if an imaged state of the document already exists.
- In the CloudNine Review project, select a record you wish to image.
- Select Tools - Image On The Fly - Image Current Document.
- An Imaging Document... message appears.

Once imaging completes the message closes and the Image tab is available. - Click the Image tab to view the image.
Image Current Search
Generates an imaged version of records in the current result set. This may be an active filter, search, or combination of a search and filter. To image all records in the project, select the View All Records option to clear any active filter or search and return all documents in the project.
At the bottom of the active view, the current search and document count is displayed and can be used to verify the search and number of documents that will be imaged.

What's Next
When you choose Image Current Search, the image request is placed in a queue that generates the images in DocID order. You can view images as they become available in the CloudNine Review project, even if the image job isn't complete. You will receive an email once the image job is completed.
If you wish, you can track the progress of your imaging job in the My Discovery Queue, found under the Training & Support menu in your project view.


Self Service Production
During an export/production, if you select the Produce Image option, any record that hasn't already been imaged will be imaged. The Custom Comments on placeholders feature is not available if imaging at the time of production.
