When you have a completed archive export that meets Logikcull’s production requirements, create a new project in your Logikcull account <1>.
​

​
​

Go to the Uploads tab, click Create a new upload and select Production Upload. The next step will ask for the load files, which should be accessible outside of the zip from your exported data.
​

Select I'd like to import a data load and checkmark Images, Natives and/or Text <4>, depending on what was included in the export. Usually, the volume should have subfolders <5> titled Images, Natives and/or Text that will let you know what was provided.
​

​

Drag and drop, or click to upload your load files. The top box is for .DAT or .CSV files <6>; the bottom box is for .OPT or .LFP files <7>.
​

Helpful Tip: Image load files
If the images are in multi-page PDF/TIFF format and the filenames are named by their corresponding Bates number, attaching an image load file (i.e. OPT/LFP file) is optional, e.g. For Begin Doc BATES000001, with a multi-page image named as BATES000001.pdf or BATES0000001.jpg, Logikcull will automatically locate the images and load accordingly.

Map your import fields. Logikcull will automatically map suggested matches based on the similarity of the field names (see items <8> in the figure below), and mark the rows in green. It is recommended to check that they are mapped correctly; the definition of the field and the sample data that pulls from the first three lines of your load file can help as references to confirm or modify this choice. All fields will have to be mapped before you can move on to the next step. When mapping any fields, you can either choose to: (1) import them into an existing Logikcull Document field, (2) import them as a new custom field, or (3) not import them.
​

Helpful Tips: Field Mapping
• If there is no corresponding Logikcull field for one of the imported fields, it may be helpful to choose the "import as a new field" option so the metadata is still searchable in Logikcull, as needed.
• If you’re uploading multiple datasets from your old platform, you only have to map fields once! <9> Mapping templates can be re-used when uploading multiple productions, as the fields are expected to be consistent. When you’re done with the initial field mapping, save it as a template in the bottom left then select that template for subsequent uploads.
• If you have a large number of fields, you can checkmark select fields, or use the "bulk map" dropdown <10> to quickly select unmapped/mapped fields, or deselect all fields. Then, you can choose to "import as new", "do not import", or "reset to Logikcull selections" in a single action.
• After successfully mapping all fields, validate the load file. If you encounter any errors during load file validation, please contact support through in-app chat for assistance.

Upload your data volume. <11> This should be the entire set of images/natives/text files compressed in a single .zip file. Input a name for this import. Click Next to upload and validate the volume.
​

Note: The following are checked by default if any of your documents don’t have searchable text files or rendered images, Logikcull will generate them automatically.
- Attempt OCR if no text is detected
- Render native if no image is detected

While data is transferring, indicated by the blue progress bar, do not logout or disconnect your session as it will interrupt the transfer.

Helpful Tips:
• Make sure your computer doesn’t go into sleep mode, as this interrupts the transfer.
• If the file is on a network/shared drive, make sure you have continuous connection. If not, copy that file to a local drive and start the transfer from there.

When the progress bar turns green, you can safely disconnect and log out. At this stage the data is in Logikcull and processing will begin. If you run into any errors or have any questions about this workflow, feel free to contact our support team through in-app chat.
​

Helpful Tip: Upload Times

Consider the timeline of your review once you’ve migrated documents in to Logikcull. If you’re migrating your archive through several uploads, begin with the data that needs to be accessed first. Once the data is successfully transferred to Logikcull (green progress bar), rule of thumb for processing 200-300GB of data takes around 3-4 days.

Once your upload completes you'll receive a notification via email and in-app.
