Property Items

Here are some key facts about property items:

  • Property items are always associated with property reports.

  • They can't exist alone (just as case notes can't exist without a case).

  • Like other entities, they have a Unique Reference Number (URN).

  • They also have a reference number your agency can use.

  • You might have another system for recording property items, like barcode identification.

  • Property items have a reference number (Ref #) and a Unique Reference Number (URN).

  • The URN makes sure each property item is uniquely identified.

  • You can use the reference number to link property items with other systems in your agency like barcode identification.

  • You can change property item titles and reference number attributes.

    These changes can be tracked using audit records.

  • The title of a parent item starts with its reference number.

    This makes it easier to identify.

  • You can move a property item contained in another property item from one person to another.

    For example, a file in a bag can be moved from the person carrying the bag to another person.
