Using Cases to Manage Information

You don't need a case to gather intelligence.

You can use incident or information reports for this.

A case simply provides a container you can use to manage all the information that relates to an investigation.

Data can be shared across multiple cases.

 

You can use a case to:

  • Assign permissions and functional capabilities to officers, teams, and case roles

  • Grant or deny data access to the people involved in a case

  • Manage attributes for status and workflow

  • Plan and manage a running screen of activities

  • Add and create real-life entities using case notes to provide context

    You can connect entities with relationships

  • Assign tasks to specific users, teams, or case-specific roles

  • Categorise activities and entities according to phases, lines of enquiry, and involvements

  • Establish specific avenues or threads in an investigation

  • Establish elements of proof which support a brief of evidence you can run at any point in the investigation

  • Manage property—like exhibits—using movements and continuities

  • Manage disclosure of investigation artefacts

  • Access all entities and their relationships

  • Search for case notes and entities contained in a case
