Abstract: Methods, systems and computer readable medium allow a user to open an electronic document in one of various applications while revealing hidden information, without having to know or execute manual steps or procedures to reveal the hidden information. A user interface of a reveal hidden information application is displayed, the user interface displaying a list of one or more native applications each of which is associated with an electronic document type. An input is received selecting a first native application from the list, and one or more hidden information types are displayed corresponding to the selected native application. Settings for the hidden information types corresponding to the first native application are received. Using the first native application, an electronic document whose document type corresponds to the first native application is then displayed with hidden information revealed/not revealed in accordance with the settings.

Abstract: A system and method for providing a web portal for managing litigation activities is described. The system includes a portal computing device having a customized collaborative web portal server application (e.g., Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 plus customized web parts for a preservation notice feature), and a user computer operatively coupled to the portal computing device, where the user computer includes a user interface of a web browser and is adapted to display a hierarchy of interlinked portal web pages provided by the portal computing device. The system also includes a structured query language server adapted to populate the hierarchy of interlinked portal web pages with custodian information and with litigation-related data in order to facilitate managing litigation activities.
