CaseMap v9.0 introduces centralized and secure remote access to cases using Microsoft® SQL Server®. CaseMap v9.0 SQL allows speedy access to cases over a wide area network (WAN) or local area network (LAN), or to traditional CaseMap cases on a LAN. SQL cases provide additional security and flexibility so different users can use different sets of features they need to work on the cases. End-users who are familiar with using CaseMap's earlier versions will not have to learn any new features — the only thing that has changed is the flexibility of creating some cases that may be unusually large or long-lived for the CaseMap SQL server environment.
For more information, see the CaseMap Server help system.
Before CaseMap v9.0, CaseMap stored case information in Microsoft® Access databases. Our LexisNexis CaseMap development staff has now customized the appearance and ease-of-use of these files to make them uniquely CaseMap. Most users save the cases on a shared network server for multi-user access and backup security.
CaseMap v9.0 introduces case files that can be created and stored on SQL Server, making it easier, more robust and scalable to sort out case data and relationships. Don't worry if your organization does not have a SQL Server. There's no need to buy one and set it up because CaseMap v9.0 still creates cases that can be stored locally on a regular network server.

| • | SQL Cases — Created by a system administrator using a special CaseMap Admin Console. Designated case staff are assigned to cases by the administrator. When SQL cases are enabled, users have the option of opening local or SQL case files. |
| • | Local Cases — Created by anyone running CaseMap v9.0 and saved to a designated network folder. Case staff can be edited by anyone who's authorized to do so. Local cases are exactly the same as previous versions of CaseMap case files. |
|
Existing CaseMap users will recognize that the program feature are identical to those in CaseMap v8.5. The appearance of CaseMap v9.0 is the same as CaseMap v8.5, except for installations that have the SQL case feature switched on.
If SQL cases are enabled in CaseMap v9.0, the SQL features appear when you open CaseMap, allowing users the option of opening a local case or SQL case.

IT and Litigation Support Professionals asked for greater security for CaseMap cases and CaseMap v9.0 delivers. Organizations that use CaseMap v9.0 and install the CaseMap Server and CaseMap Admin Console are able to centrally control the creation of new SQL cases and assign users to cases. Administrators are able to assign specific permissions for case staff. Permissions are assigned to a user via roles. Users will have the same set of permissions when assigned to single or multiple SQL cases. For example, some users may be able to enter data on a case but are not able to create or delete custom fields.

Large organizations share cases over a wide area network (WAN). The cases often grow over time into large files. CaseMap v9.0 SQL cases provide faster performance over a WAN and easily handle large amounts of case data — even if case staff are working in the same case while some are located in New York and others in Los Angeles.
|
There is no additional cost for CaseMap v9.0 and the SQL components required to enable a SQL server to host CaseMap cases. If your organization has CaseMap subscriptions that are current, you have the option to use CaseMap v9.0 and the SQL features.
