Document Security

 

None

Always Display Titles

Full

Controls the access that your active West km users have to your indexed documents. The security levels are based on the security implemented in your organization's document management system.

  • None: All matching organization documents are listed in West km results, and all active West km users can view and load them. This is the lowest security level and is the default setting.
  • Always Display Titles: All matching organization documents are listed in West km results, including full profile information, but users can only view and load documents if they have the necessary DMS access rights.
  • Full: Only documents to which the users have necessary DMS access rights are listed in West km results. This is the highest security setting.

The performance you experience in West km is inversely proportional to the security level you select. The lowest security level may produce the best performance; the highest security level may negatively affect performance.

Note: This setting does not apply to document collections in NetDocuments.

Apply Security to the West km Icon

Controls the display of the West km icon in Westlaw and WestlawNext that indicates there are citing documents at your organization.

If selected, the West km icon is displayed only after checking that the user has access to at least one document in your organization's document list.

If not selected, the West km icon is displayed regardless of the user's access to your organization's document list. The user may be restricted from accessing organization documents, but the icon display informs the user that organization documents containing the citation exist.

Confidentiality Message

An optional warning message detailing privacy concerns that is displayed to users. The message is displayed in a pop-up window when a user views the first organization document in a session.

To prevent display of the message, leave the text box blank.

Space is limited to 1000 characters.

Password

The user name and password for a Windows domain user account with access to all West km server components and to all NTFS documents that West km will access directly for indexing, including NTFS documents managed by eDOCS DM, ProLaw, and generic database solutions.
