Requirements
Before using this data source, note the following license requirements, version support, and special considerations.

The following licenses are required to use this data source:
There are no specific license requirements.
Versions supported
There are no specific version requirements.
Considerations
Current Limitations
- “Chat2email” functionality no longer supported by Refinitiv.
- Potentially duplicative data from History Requests cannot be filtered out.
Data Filtering
There are two levels of filtering data:
- Data Source - Data is being filtered according to specified Monitored Individuals. No filter is applied at message level. So, if a Monitored Individual exists in a channel, we will ingest the whole conversation for the day. If a conversation does not have any Monitored Individuals as participants for that day, we don’t ingest the conversation at all.
- Data Batch - Only messages with data for the date that matches the Data Batch collection period will be captured. For example, a message that has been exported for 10/1/2021 will be captured by the Data Batch that has collection period from “10/1/2021 00:00” to “10/2/2021 00:00”.
Data Format
Eikon Chat content will be displayed in the Relativity Short Message Format (RSMF) in the Relativity Viewer to provide reviewers with a native chat like review experience. You can find more information on the Relativity Short Message Format here.

Metadata
In addition to standard metadata populated during extracting data, the Eikon Chat Data Source captures the following ones:
Field | Description |
---|---|
DATE | Start date of a chat or start date of a slice in the chat split into slices. |
SUBJECT | Friendly name of the team and channel. |
FROM | The first person to send a message in that respective slice. |
TO | Chat attendees. |
CONVERSATION-ID | The unique identifier. When creating a Data Mapping, set “Read From Other Metadata Column” to “Yes.” |
X-RSMF-EndDate | Number of messages in the chat / slice. When creating a Data Mapping, set “Read From Other Metadata Column” to “Yes.” |
Distribution list emailsX-RSMF-MessageCount | A copy of any email sent to a distribution list is captured from each mailbox that is on the distribution list. A distribution list itself is not a mailbox. |
X-RSMF-AttachmentCount | Number of attachments in the chat / slice. When creating a Data Mapping, set “Read From Other Metadata Column” to “Yes.” |
A “Slice” of data refers to a start and end time of data that will be captured in one Relativity Document. Unless specified, a slice will contain one days worth of data.
Setup instructions
This section provides details on the prerequisites and steps for setting up this data source.
Prerequisites
You must have the following in order to complete the setup instructions for this data source.
Standard prerequisites
You must have Collect installed in the workspace to set up this data source, since Collect will be used for data retrieval.
For details on installing Collect, see Using Relativity Collect.
Authentication
Because Eikon Chat data is collected from the Eikon Chat SFTP account you will need SFTP credentials and ensure Relativity IP addresses are added to Eikon’s whitelist prior to configuring the data source.
Obtaining Credentials
Obtain the following information about Eikon Chat SFTP server:
- Host
- User and password
Whitelist Relativity IP Addresses
Eikon must add Relativity IP addresses to a whitelist so the system can connect and collect data. Please refer to the Common Collect Data Source Functionality page and the “IP Address Whitelisting Pre-work” for details.
