  Summation Tutorial:
eDrop™ - Loading & Updating Transcripts with Drag & Drop		  
 
  Overview:

 Load or update transcripts just by dragging and dropping files onto the Summation Case Folder. You can do this from Windows Explorer, your Windows desktop, and directly from an email attachment.

ASCII transcripts and those in Summation’s TRN transportable format are accepted. You can also drop zipped files (.ZIP) onto your Case Folder or a Transcript folder and they will be unzipped and loaded for you by Summation. Encrypted zip files work too: a password is required before the file can be decrypted. eDrop is perfect for updating a draft version of a transcript with the clean copy emailed to you by the Court Reporter.

Dropping onto a specific Transcript Folder at the Main Case Window assumes you’ll want to update this transcript; but you can easily override this if you have chosen the wrong transcript or you want to add it as a new transcript. Dropping onto the Case Drawer assumes you’re adding a new transcript; although this too is easily changed.

Most of the popular email programs will allow you to drag attachments directly to Summation. For those that do not, it may be necessary to first save the attachment to your Window desktop or some other folder, then drag it from there to the Summation desktop.

 

To Load a Transcript Using Drag and Drop
  1. Be sure the currently loaded case is the one to which you want to load the transcript. The currently loaded case name is embossed on the faceplate of the file drawer at the Case Folder - Main Window.

  2. Drag the transcript file (from the Windows Explorer, Windows desktop, or email attachment) to your Summation desktop. The Load or Update Transcripts dialog appears.

  3. Load as New Transcript is selected by default. Click on OK.

  4. The Load Transcript dialog appears, listing the file you've just dropped onto the Summation desktop.

    If you want to rename the DOS file before copying it to the transcript location, check the Rename option. Note that this is not the same as providing a transcript description (see Step #7).

    To load all the transcripts displayed in the file listing at once, click the Copy All option. One by one, all transcripts are loaded into your case after you choose Copy (see next step). To deactivate this feature to load only specific files, clear the “x” from Copy All.

  5. Once the file(s) to be loaded is selected, click on Copy. If you chose the Copy All option, all the files are loaded at once.

  6. If Summation Blaze cannot determine the formatting settings, a message appears identifying the format problem(s). Click on OK to continue.

  7. The Transcript Format Information dialog box appears. Type a description for the transcript and confirm that the other settings are accurate. When the settings are correct, click OK.

  8. The transcript is copied to the Transcript Location for the current case.

  9. Click Close. You are prompted about Blazing the transcripts in your case. If any formatting errors were detected during the load process, you should correct these before Blazing your transcripts. You can re-Blaze all transcripts at any time using Utilities.
