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 which you can use to manage all information relating to one 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.
