What is an exception report in Relativity?

An exception report in Relativity serves the purpose of highlighting files that require special attention. This type of report is crucial in the context of legal and investigative processes, where certain documents or data points may not meet expected criteria or standards, indicating potential issues that need to be addressed. For example, this could include files that are flagged due to missing metadata, inconsistency, or other anomalies that warrant a closer look.

This functionality is particularly valuable for legal teams and researchers, as it helps streamline their workflow by identifying problem areas quickly, ensuring that they can focus their efforts on the most pressing issues rather than sifting through all available data. Other report types outlined in the choices offered do not serve this specific function; for instance, a summary of user activity or financial analysis would not target files needing immediate intervention. Thus, the clarity and targeted focus of the exception report is what makes it an essential tool in the Relativity platform.
