Redacting Documents

Redaction with RaceBlindRedact is simple. Navigate to the redaction page. Just select one or more documents to upload, we'll do the redaction, and you can download the redacted documents. Click "Download All" to download a zip file containing all the redacted documents, or download them individually by clicking the "download" button next to each document name.

After downloading the redacted documents click "Start Over" to redact more documents.

Things to know:

1. Don't navigate away from the page while redaction is progress.
2. Download the redacted documents immediately after redaction.
   If you leave the page, the documents will be gone when you come back and you will need to redact them again.
3. The redaction isn't always perfect. The system does it's best but sometimes it gets it wrong. It is particualrly challenged in the following scenarios:
   • Poor image quality
   • Multiple individuals with very similar names
   • Things that are names, but not individuals. i.e. Miranda Rights, Albertson's Supermarket, etc.
   • Unusual Names

We always strive to improve the redaction, so please Report a Problem

if something is not working.

The Admin Page

The admin page is where the individual assigned to be your organization admin manages your organization's subscriptions and users.

Subscription Details

The Subscription Details section shows:

• the expiration date of the subscription
• the number of redaction requests made during the subscription period
• the total number of redaction requests that are allowed during the subscription period
• and the rate limit set by the subscription

The rate limit is important, because if your organization collectively exceeds the rate limit, the system will stop processing redactions until the rate limit is reset. If you consistently encounter errors due to exceeding the rate limit, send an email tosupport@meadowlarkengineering.com and request a rate limit increase.

Configure Redaction

The Configure Redaction section allows you to configure the redaction process. You can configure the following:

• Terms to Keep
• Terms to Remove

Terms to Keep and Terms to Remove are used to override the default redaction behavior. For example, if you want to keep the term "Los Angeles" in all documents, you can add "Los Angeles Doe" to the Terms to Keep list.

Users

The Users section shows all the users in your organization.

Adding a User

Click the "Add User" button to add a new user.
When adding a user you will need to provide the user's email address and select the user's role. The user's role determines what the user can do in the system.

• "User" - A user can redact documents. User's cannot see documents redacted by other users.
• "Admin" - An admin can redact documents, and also manage the organization's subscriptions and users.

Once a user is created, they will receive an email with a link to set their password. The user will need to set their password before they can log in.

Editing a User's Role and Disabling a User

After a user is created, there role can be changed by clicking the button in the "Action" column and selecting "Edit". The user's role can be changed to "User" or "Admin".

A user can be disabled by clicking the button next to the user's name and selecting "Disable". A disabled user can log in, but is not allowed to redact documents.
