TextMap's user interface is designed so your transcript data displays in the primary workspace pane (2) for maximum viewing. This workspace pane (2) is where you will search transcripts, enter and track annotations, issues, notes, linked exhibits and documents, and review video depositions in individual transcripts. To move quickly between each transcript, you will use the Navigation pane (1) on the left side of the application. The Navigation pane (1) has three interchangeable panes: Transcripts, Exhibits and Video, and Annotation Detail. Each pane is then divided into task panes containing different tools for working with transcripts.
When you are working in a case, use the Transcripts pane to access transcripts. In the Exhibits and Video pane, you can view video depositions, link exhibits, and view linked exhibits and other documents. Use the Annotation pane to review an annotation's properties, notes, and linked issues, as well as send facts to CaseMap, review linked CaseMap fact details, and open linked CaseMap facts in CaseMap.
Use the Search pane to run basic keyword searches and full-text searches. The Full Text Search tab allows you to narrow your search by categories and limit your search to selected transcripts and/or case issues.
The tools you need to search, sort, edit, and analyze data as well as create reports are primarily performed by clicking on the ribbons or clicking on commands in the TextMap drop-down menus. All administrative tasks are located on TextMap menus.
