Producing Duplicates


Exterro leverages the below three options to handle duplicate documents.


  • Do not Include
  • Include in Load File and Production
  • Only in the Load file



 

Scenario


A collection has been started with two custodians each holding the same set of files, and de-duplication has been set to 'Across Custodian/NCDS'. The system would have collected the files from one custodian and de-duplicated the files from the other custodian at the time of collection.

 

Do not Include


When creating with 'Duplicate Files = Do not Include', the system will not re-duplicate the files for the de-duplicated custodian, and no item in the load file will be created.


 

Include in Load file and Production


When the 'Duplicate Files = Include in Load File and Production' option is selected, the system will re-duplicate the files for both custodians and add an entry to the load file.



Only in Load file


The system will not re-duplicate the files for the de-duplicated custodian when creating with 'Duplicate Files = Only in load file'. Instead, it will simply have the enteries in the load file.
