International Classification:

G06F 17/00

US Classification:

707 2, 707101

Abstract:

A system and method for electronically managing composite documents including a repository of electronically stored individual documents, where a subset of the individual documents are associated with other individual documents to form composite documents. A search tool is also provided for locating a selected individual document, where the selected individual document is associated with a selected composite document. A selection tool for selecting a function to be applied to the selected individual document includes an option to apply the function to other individual documents within the selected composite document. This allows the selected individual document to be operated on individually or with the other individual documents within the selected composite document.

Inventors:

Barbara L. Ciaramitaro - Grosse Pointe Woods MI, US
Michael A. Gruskin - West Bloomfield MI, US
Edward C. Wolfe - Bloomfield Hills MI, US

Assignee:

General Motors Corporation - Detroit MI

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707101, 707 10, 707102, 707103 R, 7071041

Abstract:

A system and method for electronically managing privileged and non-privileged documents in two independent schemas. One schema is a privileged schema for storing privileged documents and the other schema is a non-privileged schema for storing non-privileged documents. The two schemas are separate and distinct so that privileged and non-privileged documents are not commingled. Access to the privileged schema is restricted to privileged users while non-privileged users have access only to the non-privileged schema. As a result, privileged documents are protected against the inadvertent waiver of privilege.

US Classification:

7071041, 707 3

Abstract:

A system and method are provided for electronically managing remote review of documents that are stored on a central repository. The remote review system advantageously enables a remote reviewer, lacking repository access, to remotely review and record decisions in respect to documents stored in the repository and then electronically integrate those remotely made decisions back into the repository. In this way, the inventive system and method promotes efficiency and consistency in responding to document requests for legal purposes.
