Add a Workbook to a Case

You use workbooks to help you organize items in your case. You can add a workbook to a case using the Workbooks Explorer.

To add a workbook to a case from the Workbooks Explorer, follow the steps below:

1. Click the EVIDENCE tab in the left navigation panel.

   

2. Open the needed case by double-clicking the case name in the Cases table. Alternatively, you can select the appropriate case name, then click the Open Case button in the ribbon bar above the table.

   

3. Open the Workbooks Explorer.

   

   If the explorer is hidden, you can use the Explorers dropdown in the main menu to view it.

   

4. Click the Add button in the explorer.

   

    

   Note:

   Sub Workbooks can be added to Standard Workbooks. Right-click on an existing Standard Workbook and select Create Sub Workbook from the right-click context menu. Sub Workbooks cannot be created under any other workbook type.

   The Add Workbook dialog appears.

   

5. Fill in the information for the workbook.

6. Enter the following information in the Add Workbook dialog:

   • Workbook Name - A unique name to help identify the workbook

   • Workbook Type - The selected type for the workbook

     • Standard - A normal workbook to help organize items

     • Carousel - A workbook that displays items in a unique way in TRIAL DIRECTOR Presentation

   • Color - The color assigned to help identify the workbook

   With the information filled in, you can move on to the next step.

7. Click the Save button.

8. There are two save options for your convenience:

   • Save - Saves the workbook, does not close the dialog, and clears the fields so you can create another workbook right away

   • Save & Close - Saves the workbook and closes the Add Workbook dialog

   When a workbook is added, it appears in the Workbooks Explorer.
