Manage case options

The application case options are settings that administrators can access and change to alter the behavior of individual cases. For some of the settings, you must provide values to use the application features. Use this topic to help you understand the effects of setting and changing case options.

System administrators and portal administrators can access case options. Case administrators can access case options for their cases.

To manage the case options:

On the Portal Home page, under Portal Management, click Cases and Servers.

On the Cases page, click the name of the case whose options you want to set.

In the navigation pane, click Case Options.

Edit the case options as needed.

To save the options, click Save. To revert to the last saved settings, click Reset.

Clone options

The Clone options button enables administrators to select case option settings and clone, or copy them to the same case options in selected cases.

To clone an option or options for all cases in your organization:

On the Portal Home page, under Portal Management, click Cases and Servers.

On the Cases page, click the name of the case whose options you want to set.

In the navigation pane, click Case Options.

Click the Clone options button.

On the Select Options page, select the options whose values you want to clone. You must select at least one option before you click Next.

On the Target Cases page, select the cases to apply the case option values to. The cases that appear depend on your user role and organization security, when in effect. For portal administrators, when organization security is enabled, the list of available items depends on membership in a provider or client organization. To understand how organizations are managed in Nuix Discover, see Organizations. For a summary of how organization security affects portal access for each user category, see Portal security table.

After selecting at least one case, click Finish.

The values for the selected case options from the source case are copied to the case options in the selected target cases. You are notified of the operation’s success, or if errors occur.

60,000 bytes per documents

Content HTML cache life

The number of days from when a document is loaded or last viewed that the application keeps the cached HTML rendering of the document. Cached HTML content increases performance when viewing documents. Values of 1,000 or higher keep the content cached indefinitely.

1,000 for new documents

180 for existing documents

Content HTML cache limit

Maximum number of documents in the cache.

3,000,000 documents

Content HTML max length

The maximum length of HTML to display when viewing document content. Any HTML beyond the set length does not appear when viewing documents. When the loaded content exceeds this size, the user sees a message asking them to download the document.

Use Assigned Family Hash rules

Important: Although this case option is available, it is disabled by default. In most scenarios, we recommend leaving this case option disabled. Before enabling this option, carefully consider the following changes that will occur.

If the case option is enabled, the following applies the first time a hash job is run:

The Use Assigned Family Hash rules case option is no longer available to update.

For any documents that received a family hash value from a previous run through the hash process, the application removes any calculated family hash values,

As a result, the only documents with family hash are those for which a user provided the family hash using Import mapping. These values will remain and be used.

For all other documents, including those that had values removed, the hash process uses the individual hash value of the top-parent document in the family as the family hash for all documents in the family.
