What is Batch Unit in Relativity?

• A. The optional grouping condition on the batch.
• B. The maximum number of documents in the batch.
• C. The status of the batch.
• D. The date the batch was last updated.

Answer: (A)

Batch Unit defines how documents are grouped within a batch for processing. It is the optional grouping condition you specify to cluster related documents into units—each unit sharing the same value on a chosen field. If you omit a Batch Unit, the entire batch can be treated as a single unit. This concept is about how to organize work rather than how many documents are included or the batch’s status or last update date. For example, you might set the Batch Unit to a custodian field, so all documents from the same custodian form a single unit. This lets reviewers work on related documents together while keeping different custodians’ documents in separate units.
