Research menus are available on the following spreadsheets:
| • | Research - Authorities and Extracts |
Research menus are accessible in two places for the same record:
| • | Full Name field and clicking the drop-down menu  |
| • | Home ribbon and clicking on the 'Research' button for the current spreadsheet (e.g., Research Authority button  ) |
The same menu is accessed from both locations. Research menus differ depending on which type of case record you are working on. For example, the Research menu options for the Authorities spreadsheet are different than those for the Organizations spreadsheet.
|
On the Persons spreadsheet you have different Research menus and options depending on the type of person your entry in the Type+ field and the case record selection. For example, Type+ field entries may categorize the person as a Fact Witness, Expert Witness, Attorney, Judge, Arbitrator, and Mediator.
The Type+ field entry will trigger CaseMap to offer the appropriate menu selections for your online search — as long as you include the keywords "expert", "attorney", "counsel", "lawyer", "judge", "arbitrator", or "mediator". For example, "Expert Witness" and "Ballistics Expert" both indicate an expert type. "CoCounsel" and "Opposing Counsel" both indicate an attorney type.
