FAQs
What is NetDocuments tabular review?
NetDocuments tabular review is an AI-powered capability inside NetDocuments that turns a large set of documents into one structured table of answers. Select the documents, describe what you’re looking for in plain language, and tabular review builds the columns, extracts the answers, and cites every result back to its source – all without leaving your NetDocuments workspace.
How is this different from a standalone AI review tool?
Standalone tools ask you to move your documents to them. NetDocuments tabular review works inside NetDocuments, so your files never leave your governed environment. Your existing permissions apply automatically, and there is no separate platform to procure, configure, or maintain.
Is the data secure during extraction?
Yes. Every review session operates under the same governance controls that apply across your NetDocuments environment, including data loss prevention rules, ethical walls, and access permissions. Your documents never leave your governed workspace, and your content is never used to train or improve AI models.
What types of documents can I review?
NetDocuments tabular review works with any documents stored in NetDocuments – contracts, leases, pleadings, corporate filings, invoices, permits, correspondence, HR records, and more. If your team stores it in NetDocuments, you can build a review table from it.
How do I verify the AI’s answers?
Every cell in the extraction grid includes a citation linking back to the source text in the original document. You can expand any cell to see the passage the AI used for its answer and navigate directly to the document.
Do I need to be a legal team to use NetDocuments tabular review?
No. While many of the earliest use cases come from law firms and legal departments, NetDocuments tabular review works on any large set of documents. Procurement, finance, HR, and government teams use it the same way – to turn a stack of files into one structured, cited answer.
Does someone need to build the extraction columns for me?
No. Describe what you’re looking for in plain language and NetDocuments tabular review designs the columns and extraction logic automatically. Review and adjust before running the extraction, or start from a saved template for a use case you repeat often.
