Analysis settings

To select regional and formatting settings to be used during analysis, select Analysis Settings. The default settings are based on legal terminology and formatting that are typical for the location selected during installation. You can change the settings to reflect legal terminology and formatting for the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, as needed.
  1. Select a location to use the legal language styles of that region. During analysis, Deal Proof uses terminology typical of the region to help in identifying elements in your document. For example, a lawyer in the U.S. would typically use "Defined Terms" or "Definitions" to introduce the section of a document that lays out what the parties intend certain words to mean within the document. A lawyer in the U.K. would typically use "Interpretations."
  2. To identify defined terms and other flag types within tables, select Identify Defined Terms in Tables. In the United Kingdom, it is common practice to place defined terms in tabular format, in which case you would want to select this setting. In the United States, tabular format is usually reserved for data that is not defined terms, in which case you would want to clear this setting.
  3. To identify defined terms based on text treatment (bold, italic, or underlining) and enclosure within parentheses, select Identify Bold, Italic, or Underlined Defined Terms in Parentheses. If this setting is selected, Deal Proof identifies these elements as potential defined terms.
  4. To identify common words when analyzing, select
    Identify common words in analysis (to, from, of, the, or, by, a, it, is, and an)
    .
  5. Select
    Ignore Schedules, Exhibits, Appendices, Attachments and Annexes
    to exclude these items from analysis.
  6. To identify defined terms that are not in a Definition Section, select
    Identify Defined Terms Outside of Definition Section
    .
  7. Select
    Prompt to incorporate Cross Referenced Documents in Defined Term analysis
    .
  8. Select
    Enable Deal Proof Comments
    .

    Run Deal Proof analysis on original and redline version of documents
