CT Summation's 3.0 New Redaction Tools ROCK!

by JulieLaboe

So today I had an issue come up where I needed to redact incorrect Bates numbers from some images in a CT Summation database and “burn-in” the correct Bates numbers. Then I remembered the webinar CT Summation gave a week or so ago on their iBlaze 3.0 release. It had new redaction tools and guess what one of the main tools is…GLOBAL REDACTION for just my situation so I decided to try it.  Now, I’ve worked with Summation since 1993 and have been an SCT for almost as long so I know that there can be some “hiccups” in new features in the first release so I was skeptical that it wouldn’t work. But guess what? It worked like a charm! In seconds I had redacted the wrong Bates number from a 149 page document. I went through and checked the redactions and only had to adjust a few – one being a number that had been put on vertically instead of horizontally. It worked that well for all 202 pages. The entire process of redacting, adding new Bates numbers, and Briefcasing was done in 15 minutes.  I’m in love, ooh, I a believer! Oh and I love the way I can see under the redaction by moving the cursor over the redaction. Awesome!

One note, it appears that by default the redaction automatically selects the text “Redaction” and places it on the redacted area at the time of Briefcasing (burn-in).  I didn’t think to check it since I obviously hadn’t selected the text option so I had to redo that part.
