Creating transcript groups

TextMap can hold hundreds or even thousands of transcripts, depending on the size of your case. TextMap allows you to create transcript groups for sets of transcripts that may be similar in content. Transcript groups make searching easier and enable focused searching.

Each transcript group must have a unique name to identify it. Transcript group names are not case sensitive and can be up to 255 characters with no leading or trailing punctuation. Each transcript group must include at least one transcript.

Once created, you can edit, rename, and/or delete transcripts groups. Although a transcript group can be deleted, the transcript(s) is/are not removed from the case, but instead, no longer grouped. TextMap only supports deleting one transcript group at a time.

When searches are performed, you can select either transcript groups or specific transcripts to filter (narrow your search), but not both for a single search.

To display groups in the Transcripts pane, click on the Arrange By header and click Show Groups. See Sorting transcripts.

You can also create transcript groups for reporting if you find yourself repeatedly running the same reports on the same set of transcripts. When you create a transcript group simply name that group with a heading that reflects the report you are printing.
