Overview: Create Cases

Case Management provides an easy way for you to create and manage cases. In the Case Management module, you can add, edit, and remove cases. For complete instructions, see Create a Case and Overview: Edit Cases.

Note: By default, you must have Super Administrator rights to perform all Case Management tasks. Those with Case Administrator rights can perform all case management tasks except for creating or deleting cases. These requirements may differ if the Super Administrator modifies privileges for a particular user.

On the Case Management page you can create, edit, and remove cases.

When you add a case (see Create a Case), your first step is to enter basic case details.

The next step is to choose one of five options for adding the case.

  • Option 1: Copy from Existing Case
  • Option 2: Load From Case Definition File
  • Option 3: Load Fields from a Data Load File
  • Option 4: Use Default Template
  • Option 5: Use Native File Ingestion Template

    For more information, see Step 2: Load a Case Definition.

After you enter basic case details and select an option for adding a case, you follow the remaining steps in the wizard to create the case. These steps are as follows:

Step 3: Define Database Fields

Step 4: Create a Tag Palette

Step 5: Create Redaction Palette

Step 6: Select Case Options

Step 7: Define Case Options

Once all of your case settings are selected, you review the information on the Summary page of the wizard and then click Create. The system processes the information you entered in the wizard and creates the case.

 

Note: A client ID is required when you create a case. Create clients (see Overview: Clients) before you create cases associated with a client.

Cases can be changed after they are initially defined (explained in Overview: Edit Cases).

 

To complete your new case, continue with additional activities as needed.
