Importing exhibit packages
Contents
TextMap Exhibit Packages (created by TextMap® Exhibit Linker) include a transcript, hyperlinks to exhibits mentioned throughout the text, and the linked exhibit documents. You import an Exhibit Package file (*.xmef) just like any other transcript. All the exhibits and exhibit hyperlinks in the transcript are available instantly.
When you import an Exhibit Package file (*.xmef), the following occurs:
| • | It creates a folder and is stored in its own folder. |
| • | If the name of the transcript is longer than 80 characters, the folder created will also be truncated at 80 characters. |
| • | When TextMap imports a transcript with a name of one that already exists, it and the associated folder names are made unique by applying a number to the end. |
| • | Invalid characters are not allowed in the transcript name, and will be removed. |
You can also import TextMap Exhibit Packages (*.xmef files) with linked exhibits into a SQL case. During the import process, TextMap displays a message for you to select the exhibits path folder for the case, if it has not already been set.
Exhibit files should be saved to a network folder to ensure that all case users have access to the files. You can also set this path in the Case Properties dialog box, if you have permissions to do so. See Changing exhibits file paths. If you choose not to set the exhibit folder path during the import, the transcript will be imported into the SQL case without the linked exhibit files.
You can also click Import on the File menu, and then click Import Transcripts.
TextMap searches the transcript and uses the first date it locates to automatically fill in the Date field. You can modify this date, if necessary.
When the import process is complete, the imported transcript displays in the Transcripts pane and the exhibit files are copied into the case exhibits folder.
