What are layouts used for in Relativity?

Layouts in Relativity are crucial for designing and organizing the user experience within a document review process. They are primarily used to create web-based coding forms for documents, enabling reviewers to input relevant metadata, make coding decisions, and provide annotations directly related to the documents they are reviewing. This capability allows for a streamlined workflow, ensuring that all necessary information can be captured efficiently and effectively.

Using layouts, administrators can customize the fields that appear on a particular coding form, tailoring the document review experience to match the specific needs of the case or the preferences of the review team. This customization enhances the process by allowing reviewers to focus on the most pertinent information required for their task, ultimately improving productivity and accuracy during the review.

In addition, layouts can be used to establish the display order of fields and the way information is presented. This ensures that users have a consistent and familiar interface, which can reduce training time and enhance the overall usability of the platform.
