New Advanced Search Capabilities

Searching testimony has never been faster or easier! TextMap still features intuitive simple word searching across all of your transcripts, but in TextMap 6, we’ve added new Advanced Search features to help you pinpoint key testimony and hard-to-find evidence in seconds. Searches include:

• Unlimited full text search
   

• Proximity searching
   

•  Wildcard searching
   

• Boolean
   

• Synonym “like” searching
   

• Antonym “unlike” searching
   

• Numeric searching (>,<,=)

The Word Search feature lets you quickly search for any word and instantly view the relevant question and answer.

Overlapping Annotations

Have you ever had a situation where your designations were slightly (or radically) different from opposing counsel’s? And you wanted to be able to see that visually in your transcripts without wasting time with a highlighter pen and paper? TextMap 6 is your answer! You are now able to see at a glance where annotations and/or designations overlap in TextMap’s easy user interface. Plus, you’ll be able to quickly print or PDF the transcript with those overlapping annotations/designations automatically highlighted. And, when opposing counsel sends you the list of their designations, you’ll be able to quickly import that information into TextMap! All of these features are available only in TextMap, giving you a way to quickly analyze your transcripts, and a leg up over the competition!

Transcript Groups

Another huge time saver in TextMap 6 is the ability to group transcripts for later searching or reporting. If you need a way to quickly search only expert witness testimony, TextMap allows you to do that. Or, if you need to report on only fact witness testimony, you can use the grouping feature in TextMap. You can create as many transcript groups as you need, giving you flexibility and control over your data.

New Reports

TextMap’s reports have always been fantastic, but with TextMap 6 we are truly leagues ahead of any other transcript tool on the market. Effortlessly create and email polished PDF reports, complete with cover page, table of contents and customizable logo branding, without need for a full Acrobat license. You can even PDF all of your transcripts in one report, with a full Word Index across all transcripts, and all linked exhibits and files embedded.

And now you can even get a snapshot of your annotations grouped by associated issue, in an editable format, for inclusion in briefs or motions. Or, print transcripts with all or some of your annotations and/or designations automatically highlighted, including automatic visual indication of where those annotations or designations overlap.

The handy Note Taking report makes it easy to remember and follow up on important testimony remarks and issues, as well as leverage the input of team members.

By Popular Demand

One of the biggest requests our clients had when we released TextMap 5.5 was that wished they could send Notes they made in TextMap over to CaseMap without having to copy and paste them. We listened and now you can! Information in the Notes field in TextMap automatically go to the Fact Text in CaseMap.

 
Hosting case files on a SQL server

The TextMap case files pre-TextMap 6 stored case information in a database built on the same "chassis" as Microsoft® Access.

TextMap 6 introduces case files that can be created and stored on a SQL server, making it easier, more robust and scalable to sort out case data and relationships. Don't worry if your organization does not have a SQL server. There's no need to buy one and set it up because TextMap 6 still creates case files that can be stored locally on a regular network server.

Two types of case files

SQL Cases: created by an administrator using a special Admin Console. Designated case staff members are assigned to cases by the administrator.

Local Cases: can be created by anyone running TextMap 6 and saved to a designated network folder. Case staff can be edited by anyone who's authorized to do so. The local cases are exactly the same as the pre-TextMap 6 cases.

Centralized Case and User Administration

The organizations that use TextMap 6 SQL will be able to centrally control the creation of new SQL cases and assign users to the cases. IT and Litigation Support professionals have asked us for greater security for TextMap case files and TextMap 6 delivers. The administrator will be able to assign specific permissions for case staff. For example, some users may be able to enter data but not able to create or delete custom fields.

Better Performance

It's common in larger firms for case files to be shared over a wide area network (WAN). Complex cases may grow over time to be large files. TextMap 6 SQL cases will provide faster performance over a WAN and easily handle large amounts of case data, even if members of the team are working on the same case file from New York and Los Angeles at the same time.
