Section components

There are two ways in which an evidence case can become a part of the main case type:

• When the parent case type invokes the evidence case as a subcase or child case
• When a standalone evidence case is linked to a parent case with the association framework

For example, during an investigation for a reported theft, you visit the site and capture images of broken locks, doors, or windows indicating a break-in. You can also collect surveillance footage. Both the images and footage act as evidence in support of the theft. You can first collect the evidence and then record a Theft case and associate the items as evidence in support of the Theft. You can also first register a theft case and then proceed with the investigation and record the images and footage as evidence.

In both scenarios, when you view the parent case details of the Theft Investigation case, you can make use of the Evidence tab section component. In this tab, you can view all the associated pieces of evidence for that parent case. In the previous example, you view the images and the footage listed as evidence in the Evidence tab.

You can use the Interview tab section as a tab in the parent case view to fetch and display all the Interviews associated with the parent case.

Using the previous Theft Investigation example, you record the statements of each eyewitness as an interview. All the interviews that you conduct as part of the investigation and associate with the investigation are listed in the Interviews Tab.
