Phases in an Investigation

You can customise the way you use phases in an investigation.

 

You might use phases to manage:

  • Areas of responsibility for different parts of the investigation.

    For example managing evidence, witnesses, and scenes.

  • Allocating entities to parts of an investigation on a timeline.

    For example initiating an investigation, gathering information, reviewing an investigation, preparing for a trial.

 

You can use these types of phases with cases:

  • Global phases – Your administrator can specify phases using system code tables that can be used for all cases.

  • Custom phases – A case officer can specify phases for a case.

    Phases can be assigned to case notes and inherited by entities that are attached to the case note.
