Import Overview
Contents
With Sanction, you can import common file formats used in courtroom presentations for exhibits, media, and transcripts.
This topic lists the file types you can import into Sanction and the folder that holds each type of file. This topic also describes the options you have for importing exhibits and media files singly or by the folder. The manner in which Sanction handles importing duplicate files is also described.
You can import many common file formats into your case by using the import utility from either FILE > Info > Import, or HOME > Import. Or you can drag and drop exhibits or media items directly on the folders where you want these items to go. For each file format, a specific area of the item tree is reserved as a destination.

Sanction prevents incompatible file types from being imported. A file is prevented from import in cases where the file is:
If you try to import a set of files that contains incompatible files, Sanction will proceed with the import of compatible files and provide notification that some files were skipped. For example, if you run the Exhibit Import Wizard and include a folder that contains a mixture of PDFs, plain-text transcripts and media files, only the PDFs will imported into the Exhibits folder. |
If you import a file with the same file name as one you already imported, Sanction adds "-dup" to the name of the newly imported item. This rule holds across the entire case independently of file extension. For example, if a transcript file named MyFile.txt is imported as a transcript, it will appear in the transcript list as MyFile. After that, if a different transcript file named MyFile.mdb is imported, it will appear in the list as MyFile-dup. If a third file in then imported, this time an exhibit named MyFile.pdf, it would list in the Exhibits folder as SomeDeposition-dup(2). |
