Linking exhibits to transcripts

The Auto Link Exhibit Wizard is used once you have already imported a transcript into TextMap. With this wizard, you can add multiple files, web addresses, or link to another document management system anywhere in the transcript where the exhibit is mentioned. You can bulk link exhibit files on your computer and web addresses, as well as add custom links to other document management programs. You can even make a document in CaseMap a hyperlinked exhibit in TextMap.
