When would you use the option “Do not break parent/child groups” in DeNIST Mode?

Using the “Do not break parent/child groups” option in DeNIST Mode is particularly important when maintaining the relationship between documents is critical. In many cases, documents are structured hierarchically, where certain documents (children) are linked to a parent document. This relationship is essential for understanding context, maintaining data integrity, and ensuring comprehensive review processes.

For instance, in legal contexts, a parent document might be an email, while the children might include attachments. If these documents are separated, it can result in confusion and misinterpretation, as the context provided by the attachments is lost. By choosing this option, users ensure that the parent and child documents remain connected within the system, preserving their relational context through the DeNIST process.

In contrast, the other options focus primarily on performance optimization, format constraints, or access simplicity, which may not prioritize the contextual relationships that are crucial in many data review scenarios. Maintaining these relationships is vital to ensure that users can accurately interpret the data as it was intended.
