Types of Entities in ICM

ICM has the following types of entities:

  • Case

  • Case Note

  • Disclosure Index

  • Dissemination Index

  • Incident Report

  • Information Report

  • Tasks and Task Results

 

You can set up entities to suit your agency:

  • If you have a large agency, you might want to set up lots of entities for each type of entity.

    For example, you might need lots of different cases and incident reports.

  • If you have a small agency, you might only need one entity for each type of entity.

 

Make sure you identify the source entities your agency needs before you set them up in ICM.

Once you create a type of source entity, you can't change the type. For example, you can't change an intelligence project case to an investigation.
