What you will see next depends upon your level of permissions. All users are initially taken by default to their Dashboard. For administrators, this will show a list of users along with checkboxes describing their permissions, which can be managed and changed in this view.

For non-administrative users, the Dashboard will show an overview of cases. Click on one of these to begin.

1. Once your case is loaded, you can search for specific keywords or terms of interest using the bar along the top. This will bring back a list of results in the centre pane, from which you can then drill down further, as shown in the following screenshot:

Clicking on any of the items in the search results will allow you to view them in more detail. A preview of the item in question will show up in the center of the screen, and along the right-hand side you will see three tabs: TAGS, SECURED FIELDS, and METADATA. METADATA which allows you to view either the metadata associated with a specific item, or the information that has been associated with it by other users of Web Review & Analytics.

2. Clicking on Kinds at the top of the screen will bring up a list of options allowing you to sort data based on the type of file or its associated metadata. Looking for images, for example, will bring up a gallery view similar to what you see in most forensic software, with thumbnail-sized previews of images that can then be selected, tagged, commented on, or analyzed further.
3. Selecting geolocation will bring up a map with pins in each location relevant to the case. Clicking on any of these pins will allow you to zoom in and see which data source is linked to this location. Geolocation data is shown in Google Maps, a familiar interface for most users, as shown in the following screenshot:

4. One neat feature of Nuix's Web Review & Analytics tool is its ability to create individual metadata profiles. If you are working as part of a team, for example, and one person deals with images while another is tasked with analyzing all data from a particular mobile device, you can easily create a metadata profile for each of these users, leading to fewer problems with cross-contamination of data and aiding in triage. To create an individual metadata profile, simply click Global Options at the top of the screen, select Create a metadata profile, and follow the instructions to set it up.
5. The reporting section within Web Review & Analytics is particularly useful, due to its usability both in terms of being able to drill down into the details, and being accessible for non-technical users. The graphs and charts are easy to read, and each one can be clicked for more information, which will then take a user back to the Grid view and allow them to deep dive into the results. In the following example, the user has told Nuix Web Review & Analytics to show a list of languages, which is a built-in feature. The tool can detect which languages are being used throughout a dataset and then structure these into an easy-to-read graph such as the following one. This allows users to break data down into individual components which can then be looked at further.

Reports can be downloaded as PDFs or a variety of other common file types. However, one of the most popular ways of reporting in Web Review & Analytics is by simply creating a new user with no administrative privileges and only the ability to view, rather than to manipulate, the data within the case. That way, a client or customer can log into Web Review & Analytics and view in detail the specific items that interest them the most.
