Application Enhancements

The following new features were added to the latest eCASE Investigations release.

New Report Parameter: Lead Agent

We’ve added a new Agent parameter for Reports in Investigations, which allows you to create Reports based on the Lead Agent assigned to the case. When an Agent is selected, the Report table will include all cases associated with that Agent. If the selected Agent was not on any cases during the selected period, the Report will not produce any results.

This change applies to the following COTS Reports, as well as some custom Reports:

Investigation Cases By Case Status
Civil Monetary Results Report
Suspension/Debarment Referrals Report
Admin Monetary Results Report
Arrests Report
Case Open Close Results Report
Admin Referrals Report ▪ Civil Referrals Report

This parameter is also available to add to new custom reports.

Inventory Tab Updates

We’ve made a few improvements to the Inventory tab, including the option to change field name terminology. Administrators can use the Inventory Field Configuration tab to make changes. We’ve also added the option to hide certain text box fields on the tab, including Location Received, Agency, Address, and Case Number. Finally, we added a filter for Item Description.

New Case Notifications By Case Type

We added a new standard notification, which can be configured to alert specific users when a new case is created. These notifications are configurable based on case type, so different users can be notified when new cases are created under each case type in the application. This notification can be set up on the Configuration page (Main Menu > Configuration > Configuration).

To configure notifications, select a Case Type, as well as a corresponding Investigative Case Type, and add recipients to the Users field.

New Fields: Organization Index

New fields for Employer and Occupation have been added to the Organization form. These fields can be shown/hidden and marked as Required on the Contacts Field Configuration tab in Configuration (Main Menu > Configuration > Contact Fields Configuration).

Enable Location of Offense

The Enable Location of Offense checkbox can now be marked as Required for all case types. You can set this require via the Configuration page (Main Menu > Configuration > Complaint Configuration under the Field Configuration section).

Site Numbers Field

The Site Numbers field on the Evidence tab now accepts letters, so you can input Site values that include letters. Previously, this field only allowed numeric values.

Case Outcomes Report: Judicial District Parameter

We’ve added an additional parameter to the Case Outcomes Report labeled “Select Judicial

District.” When a Judicial District is applied, the report will include all cases with the selected Judicial District. If there were no cases in the selected Judicial District during the selected period, no results will populate in the Report. In addition, we added a new Judicial District column to the results table.
