Epiq AI can ingest documents that are previously processed and exported using the Concordance DAT file format.

Folder structure

The preprocessed documents should be arranged in different volume folders. Each volume contains the following:
  • a DATA folder containing metadata load file(s), in .dat or .csv
  • a TEXT folder containing text files
  • Optional: a NATIVES folder containing native files
Note: The Load file(s) can be put outside of the DATA folder but need to be at the same level as the TEXT folder.

Load file format

Epiq AI follows the Load file specifications used by Relativity.

Fields

Epiq AI requires your load file to contain a Document ID field as a unique identifier for a document. Epiq AI automatically maps your input fields to Epiq AI’s internal fields. You can choose to manually map a field or not import a field. You can choose to import a field that does not map to an existing Epiq AI field. Epiq AI will automatically create a custom field using its original naming. Below is a list of Epiq AI fields:
