Wordlists - Highlights and Hit Reports

Highlights are lists of keywords or phrases you would like highlighted when users look at the documents which contain them. These are often also called Persistent Highlights or Persistent Hits. 

Hit Reports provide insight into search terms, including the number of unique documents that hit on a term, or how many times in a document a term is used. 

Both Highlights and Hit Reports are accessed under Project Admin's Wordlists screen. 

Highlights

Highlight terms are very similar to search hits in that they are highlighted and you can go from one hit to the next hit or previous hit when reviewing documents. Once defined and enabled a summary in the Document Review toolbar will show the number of hits in the document, and they may be used to navigate within the document from hit to hit. See discussion of using Highlights in Reviewing, Coding and Redacting Documents.

Notes for Highlights:

Hit Reports

Hit Reports shares a Project Admin screen with Wordlists. Hit Reports allow administrators to create and folder results of a list of search terms.

The reports that are generated provide insight into the search terms, for example, how many documents hits in a document on a specific term, how many unique documents hit one term and none of the other terms in the search, and the total number of hits on a particular term.
