Use Layout Tools to Simplify View in Concordance

CloudNine

#DidYouKnow: you can configure the Edit View in Concordance to quickly add important information to database records and limit the number of edit fields you see on screen.

Example: Attorneys often take detailed notes during document review and paralegals may need to add missing information such as dates, authors, or keywords to the database to produce better search results.

Add important information to your database and customize your view to show only relevant fields on your screen
