How to Create and Delete a Case

Cases in VIDIZMO's Digital Evidence Management System allow you to organize related evidence for investigations. You can create cases at the beginning of an investigation and delete them after all proceedings are complete to maintain proper evidence lifecycle management.

Prerequisites​

  • You must belong to a group with Upload and manage content feature enabled, or have a CAL that grants this permission. By default, this feature is enabled in the Content Manager group.
  • You must belong to a group with Collection/Case feature enabled, or have a CAL that grants this permission. This is a Portal-level add-on that must be enabled in security groups.

Create a Case​

  1. In the left navigation panel, select My Cases.
  2. Select + Create New Case.
  3. In the Create Case dialog:
    • Case Name: Enter a descriptive name for the case.
    • Select Folder: Choose the folder where you want to create this case.
  4. Select Create.

The new case appears in your My Cases list and is ready to receive evidence.

To learn how to add evidence to a case, see Uploading Evidence: A Step-by-Step Guide.

Delete a Case​

  1. In the left navigation panel, select My Cases.
  2. Locate the case you want to delete.
  3. Select the overflow menu (⋮) next to the case.
  4. Select Delete.
  5. In the confirmation dialog, select Delete.

NOTE: Deleted cases remain in the Recycle Bin for the duration specified in the Portal's Default Purge Policy. See Understanding Content Lifecycle Policies in VIDIZMO for more information.
