CloudNine Review: Can I Update a Field for All Records in my Search Results or a Folder?

Group Tagging is used to Batch Update Tags/Fields for all Documents in the Results or Folder.

Group Tag Overview

The Group tag documents feature allows you to update a field with a consistent value across the entire result set, eliminating the need to update each record individually. This is extremely useful when creating review sets, identifying responsive/non-responsive records, identifying privileged documents, assigning confidential designations, etc.

Tags Options

There are three options for group tagging: Group tag documents, Group tag folder, and Group tag branch.

  • Group tag documents: option is available for all views and is the only option in the Verticle Doc List View and Table View. The Group tag documents option updates all records within the current result set.
  • Group tag folder: This option is available only in the Native Tree View. When selected, this will update records inside the selected folder.
  • Group tag branch: Available in the Native Tree View only. Selected, this applies the tag to every document in the selected folder and all additional folders in the selected folder. 

Group Tag Documents

The Group Tag feature updates records in the current result set. This may be all records or the results of a search or filter. Select Tools -> Tags -> Group tag documents to open the Group Tag Documents screen.

  6. Repeat the above steps until all desired fields and values are updated. Once done, click the X at the top right corner to close the screen.

Group Tag Folder / Branch

In the Native Tree View, there are two additional options for group tagging: Group Tag Folder and Group Tag Branch. Both options open the same Group Tag Documents screen, but they behave differently. Instead of applying the tag to the entire search result, the tag is applied to records within the folder or branch.

  • Group tag folder: Applies the tag to all documents inside the selected folder. If you select a folder without documents, you will notice the Docs affected show zero (0). 
  • Group tag branch: Tag is applied to the documents in the selected folder and all additional folders contained within the selected folder. The Docs affected shows the total records in the selected folder and subfolders.
