About research folders

A research folder is a private workspace that allows users to conduct investigations without affecting the main review set. It helps isolate search results, preventing unnecessary additions to the shared review environment. This is particularly useful for confidential investigations, such as audits or insider trading cases. Within a research folder, users can organize and analyze search results, review and mark relevant items, or export them for offline analysis before sharing them with other reviewers.

Research folders improve workflow efficiency by ensuring that only validated information is added to the department review set. They serve as an intermediary step in the review process, allowing users to refine findings before committing selected items for broader evaluation. If needed, users can grant controlled access to their research folders, ensuring that only authorized team members can view or modify the content.

Collaboration within research folders is managed through permissions that determine whether a user can export items, conduct additional searches, or review and mark entries. This structured access enables multiple reviewers to contribute without compromising the review integrity. By using research folders effectively, users can streamline investigations, protect sensitive information, and maintain a well-organized review process.

Note: This release highlights the following key updates about research folders:

A new All Research Folders node to provide a summary of every research folder in the application.

The ability to create and manage research folders from the All Research Folders node and individual departments.

The ability to review research folder items like review set items.

For instructions on reviewing, adding comments, assigning status, removing unneeded items, committing items to parent department, and copying items to other folders See Reviewing research folder items.
