RCA Sample Questions Answers

The correct answer is C. The video must be synced to one .MP4 video and uploaded at the same time. Relativity’s official Transcripts application documentation explicitly states that the video can be played in the Viewer in sync with the text of the transcript, and further notes: you must import videos at the same time you are uploading transcripts or the video and transcript cannot sync . The documentation also describes uploading the video as an .mp4 alongside the transcript during the transcript upload workflow.

This directly eliminates the other options. Option A is false because Relativity clearly supports synced transcript video playback. Option B is wrong because this is not a PST-based workflow. Option D is also incorrect because the documentation does not describe a later mass action that separately syncs already uploaded video and text files; instead, the sync relationship is established during the same upload process. Relativity even distinguishes that videos are not stored as normal documents in the document list, but rather as a file field within a transcript, reinforcing that the transcript upload workflow is the correct path.

From a case administration standpoint, this is important because transcript/video synchronization affects deposition and interview review usability. To ensure successful synchronization, the transcript and its associated .mp4 video must be uploaded together. Therefore, the correct answer is C .

The correct answer is B. Add the OCR text field as the first field in the Text Precedence window. Relativity’s OCR-on-redacted-production guidance explains that to produce only non-redacted text, you must use Text Precedence during export, and it specifically warns not to add the Extracted Text field to the exported field list because doing so can result in producing redacted text. It also explains that production export can use ordered text fields so Relativity pulls text from the highest-priority populated field.

In this workflow, the OCR text generated from the redacted production images is the field that reflects the redacted-visible text appropriately for export. By placing the OCR text field first in Text Precedence, Relativity uses that OCR-derived text before falling back to other long-text fields. Option A is incorrect because prioritizing Extracted Text risks exporting the original underlying text rather than the intended redacted-visible text. Options C and D are also incorrect because the guidance is to control output through Text Precedence , not by simply adding those fields to the exported field list; in fact, Relativity explicitly warns against adding Extracted Text to the exported list for this use case. Therefore, the correct step is to put the OCR text field first in Text Precedence .

The correct answer is A. After updating fields in the searchable set. Relativity’s dtSearch index documentation states that you must perform a full build when you add an additional field to the index, change any index settings, change fields of the searchable set, or overlay text on existing fields . That directly matches option A.

By contrast, Relativity documents that an incremental build is used after adding or removing documents . That makes options B and D incorrect. “After using Swap Index” is not listed as a required trigger for a full build in the dtSearch console documentation. Therefore, the correct answer is that a full build is required after updating fields in the searchable set .

The correct answer is D. Add them to an instance-level group with permissions to create groups, manage users, and assign permissions. Relativity’s instance security model allows administrators to assign instance-level permissions to groups through the Admin Security dialog. The documentation explains that permissions can be managed granularly through object security, tab visibility, and admin operations, which means a user can be given specific administrative rights without being made a full system administrator.

This matters because the System Administrators group grants broad access to admin-level permissions and tabs, including queue management. Relativity’s documentation specifically notes that system admins have access to all admin-level capabilities such as queue management, users, and groups tabs . If you do not want the user reviewing Processing or Production queues, giving full System Admin membership is broader than necessary. A workspace admin group is also insufficient for this requirement because creating groups, managing users, and assigning instance-level permissions are administrative functions controlled at the instance level. Therefore, the correct configuration is to place the user in an instance-level group with only the permissions they need.

The correct answer is C. Change the job’s priority to the lowest value in the queue. Relativity’s Branding queue documentation states that only one job runs at a time and the lower numbered job runs first while the higher numbered job runs last. It also explains that you can move jobs by using Change Priority and entering a new integer value. Since lower numbers represent higher queue priority, moving a job to the front means assigning it the lowest priority number among the queued jobs.

This rules out option D, which reverses the queue logic. Changing submitted date/time is not the documented control for moving a branding job forward, and canceling/restarting is unnecessary when Relativity already provides a queue-priority control. Therefore, to move a job to the front of the Branding queue, you change its priority to the lowest value in the queue.

The correct answer is B. Production type. Relativity’s official Production Data Source documentation states that when adding a production data source, one of the fields you configure is Production Type , where you select whether the data source will produce images, natives, or both . This is explicitly part of the production data source setup dialog.

This makes sense because production data sources are used to attach saved searches to a production set and can define how those specific subsets of documents should be produced. Relativity also documents that placeholders can be assigned at the production data source level so that different saved searches in the same production can use different placeholder behavior. However, Production Numbering is defined at the production set level rather than as a field you set when creating the individual production data source. Likewise, Branding text size and Placeholder image format are production-level settings, not the core field identified in the data source setup described by Relativity.

From an RCA standpoint, this distinction matters because administrators configure overall production behavior in the production set, while more granular document-source behavior is controlled on each production data source. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Production type .

The correct answer is B. Run the Set native file size field script. In Relativity, the purpose of the Set native file size field script is to populate a decimal field with the size of each document’s native file. This is the most efficient and direct administrative method when a workspace already contains produced native files and the case team wants a usable field showing file size. Relativity’s documentation states that the script stores the native file size for each document in the workspace in a decimal field, making it specifically aligned to this requirement. It is intended for administrators who need to backfill or populate this metadata after files have already been loaded, rather than relying on manual calculations or unrelated operations.

The other options are not correct. A tally/sum/average mass operation works on values that already exist in fields; it does not inspect native files and write their file sizes into a document field. The Set extracted text size field script applies to extracted text size, not native file size, so it addresses a different metadata requirement. The statement that native file size is automatically populated for documents is also incorrect in this context, because Relativity provides a dedicated script precisely for populating that field when needed. Therefore, from a Relativity Certified Administrator perspective under Data loading , the correct and most efficient administrative action is to run the Set native file size field script.

The correct answer is D. NOT . Relativity’s Filters documentation for text box filters lists the valid operators as AND, OR, IS SET, IS NOT SET, BETWEEN, =, > =, and < = . Since NOT does not appear in that valid operator list, it is the invalid choice among the options provided.

This is a useful distinction because Relativity supports NOT in some other search contexts, such as dtSearch or advanced filtering patterns, but the question asks specifically about a text box filter operator. In that exact context, AND , IS SET , and > = are valid, while NOT is not. Therefore, the invalid operator for a text box filter is NOT .

The correct answer is C. You cannot use Audit to revert coding decisions on required fields back to a null state. Relativity’s official Audit documentation states that certain field types, including single choice , can be reverted. However, it also explicitly states that you cannot revert a required field if doing so would return that field to a blank null value . That is exactly what this scenario describes: the field was changed from null to Responsive, and reverting would restore it to null. If the field is required, Relativity blocks that revert because required fields cannot be blank.

This means option A is incorrect because single-choice fields can be reverted in Audit. Option B is also incorrect because Relativity supports both individual and mass revert workflows depending on the situation. Option D is not the documented reason for the failure. The controlling issue is the required-field constraint. From an RCA perspective, this is a subtle but important administrative behavior: the Audit system can revert field changes, but only where the resulting value remains valid under Relativity’s field rules. If the revert would violate a field’s required setting, the system will not allow it. Therefore, the most accurate reason is that Audit cannot revert the value because the revert would place a required field back into a null state .

The correct answer is A. Simple File Upload. Relativity’s Simple File Upload documentation states that the Viewer supports the ability to replace natives and images from the Document Actions menu. The same documentation ties this replacement workflow to Simple File Upload , explaining that if you want to replace a document rather than upload a new one, you use the Replace document native function in the Review Interface. Relativity’s review interface guide also shows that reviewers can replace the native file of the current document and replace the images for the current document from the Viewer.

The other tools do not match this Viewer-based replacement workflow. Mass Replace updates field values, not the native or image file itself. Relativity Processing is for ingestion and extraction workflows, not replacing a currently loaded document in the Reviewer Interface. Native Imaging Sets image groups of documents but are not the tool identified for replacing a native or image from within the Viewer. Therefore, the correct answer is Simple File Upload .

The correct answer is D. Check the box to export multiple-choice fields as nested. Relativity’s official export documentation states that Export Multiple Choice Fields as Nested is the option used to maintain the hierarchy of Relativity multiple-choice lists during export. It further explains that the nested value delimiter is a backslash, which preserves the parent-child structure of those choices in the exported data.

This means the hierarchy is not lost by default if the appropriate export option is selected, so option A is incorrect. Sorting on the field does not preserve the nested hierarchy, making option B wrong. Exporting as CSV for Excel recognition is also not the documented mechanism, so option C is incorrect. From an RCA and data loading standpoint, this setting matters because exported hierarchical values often need to be re-used downstream, re-imported, or validated in a way that preserves their original structure. Without the nested export option, the relationship between parent and child values may not be represented correctly. Therefore, the proper way to maintain multiple-choice hierarchy when exporting a saved search through Import/Export is to check the box to export multiple-choice fields as nested .

The correct answer is B. Runs the saved search and trains the classifier. Relativity’s Review Center documentation states that during the Preparing state, the queue is refreshing the saved search for the first time , and for a prioritized review queue , this also trains the classifier . The Review Center admin quick reference guide further states that Prepare Only re-runs the saved search for all queues and retrains the AI classifier for prioritized review queues , and it does not start the queue.

That makes option B the direct documented effect of Prepare Only. It does not grant reviewer access by itself, it does not release checked-out documents, and it is not a statistical sampling action. From a case administration perspective, Prepare Only is used to get the queue ready and refresh the machine-learning state before reviewers begin or resume work. Therefore, the correct answer is B .

The correct answer is A. Relativity. Relativity’s Processing throughput guidance states that internal performance testing has shown the Relativity text extraction method to be at least two times faster than the native method on Excel, Word, and PowerPoint file types, and also less error-prone than native extraction. Since the question asks for the best method to get a large Excel-only data set to review as quickly as possible, the documented speed advantage makes Relativity the best answer.

The native-based methods are slower according to that same documentation, even though they may have other use cases. The processing profile documentation also shows that native/failover combinations are available configurations, but the performance guidance specifically favors the Relativity extraction method for speed on Excel files. “Extract and place inline” is not the documented Excel text extraction method choice for this question. Therefore, the fastest and most review-efficient choice for large Excel files is Relativity.

The correct answer is B. Copy from Previous on the layout. Relativity’s Copy from Previous documentation explains that you enable this behavior on specific layout fields by setting Enable Copy from Previous to Yes . During review, after saving one document and moving to the next, users can copy the prior document’s coding values into the current document for those enabled fields. That directly matches the scenario of carrying Responsiveness tagging from one document to the next.

The other options do not provide that reviewer-interface behavior. Mass Copy is a separate bulk operation and not the per-document review workflow described here. Propagation is a different concept and is not the setting used to let reviewers carry coding values forward document by document. Document Local Access controls access-related actions, not coding carry-forward. Therefore, to let reviewers apply Responsiveness tagging from one document to the next, you enable Copy from Previous on the layout field.

The correct answer is C. RIP must be installed in the source workspace. Relativity’s Integration Points documentation states that to use Integration Points successfully, you must install the application to at least one workspace . In the specific context of promoting data between workspaces, Relativity also states that you are not required to have Integration Points installed on the destination workspace . That means the practical prerequisite is installation in the source workspace , not both source and destination.

This rules out the other choices. Integration Points is not described as an instance-level-only install requirement, so option A is incorrect. Option B is too broad because the destination workspace installation is explicitly not required. Option D is also incorrect because Integration Points is an application that must be installed in a workspace to be used. Therefore, for migrating documents from one workspace to another with RIP, the required prerequisite is that Integration Points be installed in the source workspace .

The correct answer is A. The Family Group relational view is no longer selected. In Relativity, family relationships for emails and attachments are displayed through a relational view tied to the Group Identifier field. Relativity’s documentation explains that family groups are shown in a document list when a view is configured to display those relationships, and that the Group Identifier is the field used to associate an email with its attachments. When a relational family view is active, users can see the family grouped together in the list rather than seeing only the individual records that directly meet the filter criteria.

Once the attorney adds a filter, the list may appear to “lose” attachments if the view is no longer leveraging the Family Group relational context. This is because Relativity filters act on the records in the active view, and related items such as attachments are included through family grouping behavior rather than because every attachment independently satisfies the filter. The Group Identifier field itself is generally what defines the family relationship, and if it were not populated, the issue would be broader and structural, not just something that appears after adding a filter. The Document Extension field being indexed is unrelated to whether attachments display as family members in the document list. Therefore, the most plausible and Relativity-aligned explanation is that the Family Group relational view is no longer selected , which prevents all related email attachments from continuing to display together in the filtered Hot Documents view.

The correct answer is C. Possible cut-off content on imaged MSG or EML files. Relativity’s official Imaging Warnings documentation states that the Imaging Warnings object identifies possible cut-off content on imaged MSG or EML files and stores that information. It further explains that users can review these items on the Imaging Warnings tab after imaging completes.

The other choices describe imaging failures or limitations, but they are not what the Imaging Warnings tab is specifically designed to identify. Password-protected failures and general non-imageable content are handled through other imaging or processing error mechanisms. The Imaging Warnings feature is much narrower and is specifically meant to flag the risk that content in imaged MSG or EML items may have been cut off in the rendered output. Therefore, the correct answer is C .

The correct answer is B. dog not cat. Relativity’s dtSearch syntax guidance explains that the NOT operator can be used by itself at the beginning of an expression, or in the middle of an expression only when combined with either AND or OR. Relativity gives examples such as apple OR NOT pear and applesauce and NOT pear as valid syntax. That means expressions like dog OR NOT cat and dog AND NOT cat are valid, while dog NOT cat is missing the required connector and therefore causes a syntax problem.

Relativity’s Search Terms Report error documentation further explains that STRs surface syntax errors when the search index cannot process the term because of invalid syntax. In this case, dog not cat violates the dtSearch operator rule, so it is the option most clearly expected to fail with a syntax error in a search terms report. Option A is a standard Boolean expression and is valid. Options C and D both include the required connector before NOT, which matches Relativity’s documented dtSearch usage. Therefore, among the listed queries, dog not cat is the one that would cause a syntax error on an STR.

The correct answer is D. Existing links to exhibits in the transcript are visible once completed. Relativity’s official Transcripts documentation states that supported bundle file types include .lef and .xmef . When a bundle is uploaded, Relativity extracts the transcript file and displays the extra files as exhibits. The documentation further states that existing links to exhibits in transcript files will be visible in the Viewer once they are uploaded to Relativity . That is a direct match to option D.

This makes the other options incorrect. Bundled transcript files are explicitly supported, so option A is wrong. Exhibits do not need to be manually linked in the way described by option B when the transcript already contains those links; Relativity preserves and displays existing links. Option C is also incorrect because the documentation explains that the bundle upload process extracts the transcript and surfaces the additional files as exhibits, rather than requiring administrators to parse and upload them separately. From a case administration standpoint, this is useful because it streamlines transcript management and preserves exhibit relationships during import. Therefore, when importing LEF or XMEF bundled transcript files from the Document object, the true statement is that existing links to exhibits are visible once the upload is completed .

The correct answer is C. Files must be generated using the RSMF specifications before they are imported into Relativity. Relativity’s official Short Message Format documentation explains that to use the Short Message Viewer, you first need to create an RSMF file, and the example/specification pages describe the required structure and header information that must be present before ingestion using Processing. Relativity also states that Processing is the recommended method of importing RSMF files into Relativity, which means the RSMF file already exists when Processing begins.

This rules out the other options. Relativity does not say that it automatically creates RSMF on-the-fly for all non-document data. It also does not describe a processing-profile feature that converts arbitrary XML from chat platforms into RSMF during import. Nor is there a document-list mass operation that converts conversations into RSMF. Instead, RSMF is a defined external format that must be constructed according to Relativity’s published specifications, then imported and processed to preserve message metadata, attachments, and near-native review behavior. Therefore, the correct answer is C.

The correct answer is B. Replace entire field . Relativity’s Mass Replace documentation lists the available Action options for Mass Replace. These include Replace Entire Field , Append to End , Insert at Beginning , and Search For . Since Replace Entire Field is explicitly named by Relativity as one of the supported Mass Replace actions, it is the correct answer.

The other options are not valid as written. Relativity uses Append to End and Insert at Beginning , not “Insert after.” “Rename field” is a field-administration task, not a Mass Replace action. “Search for sentiment” is unrelated to Mass Replace and not part of the operation’s feature set. This question tests familiarity with the exact Mass Replace UI choices. Therefore, the correct available option is Replace entire field .
