General Settings
Firm Name	The text to display for your organization's name in the WestlawNext interface. Space is limited to approximately 20 characters.
Welcome Panel Text	The file containing the text that is displayed in the West km interface on the Welcome panel and on WestlawNext as scope information on the West km home page. The default value is WelcomePage.html. This file is located within the custom subfolder of the installation folder (e.g., [Drive]:\Program Files\Thomson\KM\custom). You may include HTML tags in the file to mark up text, but don't include elements such as html, head, title, and body. West km style will automatically be applied. You can change the file to customize the welcome text for your organization. So that your changes are not overridden upon upgrade, use a different file name and change this property value to match. The file must remain in the custom subfolder.
Welcome Panel Display Label	The text that is used for the following: The name of the Welcome panel in the West km interface. If no label is entered, the Welcome panel is not displayed. The scope information label on the West km home page on WestlawNext. If no label is entered, the scope icon is not displayed. The default value is blank.
Expand Welcome Panel by Default	In West km for Litigation, determines whether the Welcome panel is expanded or collapsed by default when a West km user session is started. This setting is not selected (the panels are collapsed) by default. Note: If Welcome Panel Display Label is not populated, then Expand Welcome Panel by Default is not available.
Activate West km for Litigation	If selected, the Litigation tab is available to all users. If not selected, the Litigation tab is not available to end users (it may be available to administrators). This setting is not selected by default.
West km for Litigation Label	In the West km interface, the name for content that is searched in West km for Litigation. The default value is Litigation.
Enable Image View tab for Documents	If selected, users can click the Image View tab in West km to view image-based files (e.g., PDF) in their native file format. This setting is not selected by default.
Result List Page Size	The number of documents to list on each page of a result in the West km interface for both West km for Litigation and West km for Transactions. The default value is 20 (recommended). For best results, do not exceed 100.
Record Count Label	Determines the count of resulting documents from a full-text search and how that count is displayed. Options are as follows: Default: Display is "Showing ## documents." The number is a definite count of the documents the user can access in the result list. Approximate: Display is "Approx. ## documents." The number is an approximate count of the documents the user can access in the result list based on the results of the first set of documents processed. More Than: Display is "More than ## documents." The number is the minimum documents the user can access in the result list based on the number of documents that have been processed, regardless of security. None: No record count is displayed. Note: With the Default and More Than options, no record count could be displayed on the initial result page when (1) results are displayed before all documents are processed (see the Search Process Count setting), or (2) when full security is on, in which case the user may not have rights to all the resulting documents.
Default Result List	When searching both litigation and transactional content sets, the result set that is displayed by default. The default value is Litigation.
Display only Litigation Content in Litigation Results	Select this option to hide transactional content in litigation search/browsing results.
Display only Transactional Content in Transactional Reults	Select this option to hide litigation content in transactional search/browsing results.
Search Process Count	The number of documents to process before displaying results for full-text searches. The default value is 200. Notes about search performance: Values above the default (200) may degrade performance. For best performance, maintain a 1:5 ratio between Search Process Count and Search Max Hits (e.g., 200:1000). If you have a powerful processor, you may want to increase the ratio (e.g., 100:1000). For NetDocuments users, it is recommended you set this value to 100, and set the Search Max Hits value to 200 for best performance. When the Search Process Count setting is less than the Search Max Hits setting (recommended), results may display before all documents are processed. See the Record Count Label setting for more information about how the document count is displayed in the user interface.
Search Max Hits	The maximum number of documents to process for full-text searching. (Searches using the Natural Language search method return a maximum of 100 documents, even if the value is set over 100.) The default value is 1000. Note: For best performance, maintain a 1:5 ratio between Search Process Count and Search Max Hits (e.g., 200:1000). If you have a powerful processor, you may want to increase the ratio (e.g., 100:1000). If you have a powerful processor, you may want to increase the ratio (e.g., 100:1000). For NetDocuments users, it is recommended you set this value to 200, and set the Search Process Count value to 100.
Search Query Timeout	Maximum amount of time in seconds to wait for SQL queries to complete. If the time-out period is exceeded, an exception is generated and the document is not indexed. The default value is 60.
