The result of the pagination of one or more Bundles is that each page in each document in a Paginated Bundle has a unique File Ref and a Page Number e.g. A00030 (and may in fact have several such numbers if it occurs in more than one Bundle).

This number parallels the traditional number stamped on a page in a trial Bundle. Counsel wishing the Court to look at a particular page says "Please turn to Bundle A, page 30". This section describes how to do the same in Openlaw. It assumes that you have at least one Paginated Bundle.

 

Note: the control which enables you to go to a Paginated page is not enabled by default. To activate it, go to the Set menu on the Control Panel and take <Goto Paginated Page Button>.  A warning message (shown below) tells you that your current Selection will be abandoned and gives you the option whether or not to proceed.

 

A button appears across the middle of the Control Panel labelled <GoTo Paginated Page>. If you press this button, a small screen covers the bottom of the Control Panel as shown below.

 

Pick a File Ref and a Page Number - A14 page 8 in this instance. Press <Goto Page>. You will be taken to the Item Card of the relevant Item and to the image page with the chosen number - which will not necessarily be the first page of the document in question.

Note: This function is designed  for finding and viewing a single page - it does so much more quickly than any Query will find a particular Item or Selection. The Selection arrows and Edit functions on the View menu are disabled - you cannot move on or back from the page you are on, nor can you edit the Item. If you close the View screen, you are taken back to the Goto Paginated Page screen where you can choose another page.
