Bulk Coding
The act of simultaneously coding multiple documents at once in a document review platform.
Document reviewers often code documents individually. However, document reviewers sometimes identify a group of documents that they want to code in an identical manner. If the document review platform permits bulk coding, reviewers can save time by:
- Selecting the universe of documents to bulk code.
- Identifying and applying the coding that applies to that group of documents.
Most document review platforms that permit bulk coding allow a reviewer to bulk code only certain fields. For example, if a reviewer uses a coding panel to record each document's responsiveness, substantive issues, and privilege, the reviewer may opt to bulk code a group of documents in the responsiveness and substantive issues fields, but not bulk code in the privilege field.
