◍ PowerPoint Text Extraction Method.Answer:Determines whether
the processing engine uses PowerPoint or dtSearch to extract text
from PowerPoint files during publish.
Native - tells Relativity to use PowerPoint to extract text from
PowerPoint files.
Native (failover to dtSearch) - tells Relativity to use PowerPoint to
extract text from PowerPoint files with dtSearch as a backup text
extraction method if Native text extraction is unsuccessful.
dtSearch (failover to Native) - tells Relativity to use dtSearch to
extract text from PowerPoint files with Native as a backup text
extraction method if dtSearch text extraction is unsuccessful. This
typically results in faster extraction speeds; however, we recommend
considering some differences between dtSearch and Native extraction.
For example, dtSearch doesn't support extracting watermarks from
pre-2007 PowerPoint files, and also certain metadata fields aren't
populated when using dtSearch
◍ Excel Text Extraction Method.Answer:Determines whether the
processing engine uses Excel or dtSearch to extract text from Excel
files during publish.
Native - tells Relativity to use Excel to extract text from Excel files.
Native (failover to dtSearch) - tells Relativity to use Excel to extract
text from Excel files with dtSearch as a backup text extraction method
if Native text extraction is unsuccessful.
, dtSearch (failover to Native) - tells Relativity to use dtSearch to
extract text from Excel files with Native as a backup text extraction
method if dtSearch text extraction is unsucessful. This typically
results in faster extraction speeds; however, we recommend
considering some differences between dtSearch and Native extraction.
For example, dtSearch doesn't support extracting the Track Changes
text from Excel files.
◍ Excel Header/Footer Extraction.Answer:Extract header and footer
information from Excel files when you publish them. This is useful
for instances in which the header and footer information in your Excel
files is relevant to the case. This field isn't available if you selected
dtSearch for the Excel Text Extraction Method field above because
dtSearch automatically extracts header and footer information and
places it at the end of the text; if you selected a value for this field and
then select dtSearch above, your selection here is nullified. The
options are:
Do not extract - doesn't extract any of the header or footer information
from the Excel files and publishes the files with the header and footer
in their normal positions. This option is selected by default; however,
if you change the value for the Excel Text Extraction Method field
above from dtSearch, back to Native, this option will be de-selected
and you'll have to select one of these options in order to save the
profile.
Extract and place at end - extracts the header and footer information
and stacks the header on top of the footer at the end of the text of each
sheet of the Excel file. Note that the native file will still have its
header and footer.
Extract and place inline (slows text extraction) - extracts the header
and footer information and puts it inline into the file. The header
