Case Manager Tool

The case manager tool can be used to manage and switch between multiple evidence scenarios in relation to the particular instance of a network in run mode.

The case manager tool is activated by switching the network to run mode and then right click on the network in the node list pane. This should produce a drop down menu similar to that in Figure 1.

Figure 1: The Case Manager Tool. Right click on the network in the node list pane, point to "Manage Cases".

Clicking on the item "Select Case Scenario..." will present a list of any cases currently contained in the run mode instance of the network. Selecting a case from this list will enter the case as evidence in the network.

The list of cases can be manipulated from the menu presented by clicking on the item "Manage Cases". This menu lets the user add- or replace a case in the list with the evidence currently entered in the network, remove cases from the list, save the list of cases as a hugin data file, save a case file with a single case or load a hugin case- or data file by appending it to the list.

NOTE: Any changes made to a network in edit mode that require a re-compiliation of the network, will discard all the cases in the network.
