Editing case screen

This setting is mandatory. Edit the type of case.

Edit the name of the case so that the name means something to you, for example "Jewelry Store Robberies". It may be that you allowed OSS-ESPA to automatically create one when you first create the case which will be titled using the format "Case <n>" and you may now want it to be something more meaningful to you.

Edit the objective of your case if it has changed since you created the case. This may cause different screens to appear on the wizard that you will need to complete. OSS-ESPA provides a number of pre-defined mission sets for you to select depending on your objective. These are optional but can be useful especially if you are new to OSS-ESPA. If you are using the wizard to create your case then missions sets step you through the screens required to build. Mission sets provide you with a preview of your case results. The following mission sets are available:

• The Crime scene/Location analysis mission set can help you to locate a person so that you can either include or exclude them as potential perpetrators of the crime.

• The Historical pattern of life analysis mission set can help you locate a person's potential location based on an analysis of their previous locations during the calendar week.

• The Real-Time location monitoring through GPS Track mission set can help you to locate and monitor the current location of a person.

When selected this allows:

• the person data in the case to be used when the person appears as an associate in other cases. In these other cases, the person data can be both viewed and edited.

• your case data to be displayed for all account users if they do an identifier search on the Advanced view cases screen screen and the identifier matches one in your case. Identifiers can be phone numbers, IMSI, IMEI, names, license plates, and social media accounts.

• your case data to be searched during a Batch X-Case deconfliction, and if there is a matching identifier then that information is shared with the account user who performed the search. For further information refer to Performing a batch X-Case deconfliction search.

• your case data to be searched during a Deconfliction search which allows the searching of identifiers between agencies who have an Info-sharing agreement in place. For further information refer to Performing a deconfliction search.

• other account users to use your case data in an X-Case.

NOTE: All the search results are from the case files therefore no results are returned if the identifier appears in another case without a corresponding file.

When it is not selected, then only the case creator, case assignees, and administrators can view the identifier search results and add to an X-Case, however the case data cannot be used in other cases as associate data. Administrators are also informed by email if a search is performed for an identifier that exists in the case.

Whether or not this setting is set by default depends on your setting for Enable deconfliction (X-Case data search) on the User settings screen.

Select if you want the case to be used to perform ELSUR record validation. When selected, a Validation settings button is displayed on the case's Manage case screen. Click to open the Validation settings screen which allows you to configure ELSUR record validation on the case. The validation is automatically performed at the frequency set by your administrator using Frequency. For further information refer to Validating ELSUR records.
