Objects spreadsheet field list

Contents

Reference the following table for a comprehensive listing of the CaseMap fields available for use in the Objects spreadsheet. You may also create custom fields to track and store information as needed.

There are two tables for the Objects spreadsheets:

•	Fields common to all object types

•	Fields unique to specific object types (sub-level spreadsheets)

Fields included in the following table are commonly used in the All Objects spreadsheet and sub-level object spreadsheets.

Objects Spreadsheet Field Listing — Common
Field Name	What it Displays	Using It
Trait Fields
Description	A description of the object.	Type up to 10,000 characters of text. To ensure consistency, refer to persons, organizations, documents, and other objects by their short names.
Full Name	The name of the object.	Type up to 255 characters. CaseMap uses the object's full name in conjunction with its object type to generate a default object short name.
Linked File	The name of the viewer associated with the linked file and the ID of the file or the path to it.	Click to display the Linked File Properties box that you use to set up file viewers. Right-click to display a shortcut menu that allows you to view the file and specify the viewer you will use to display the file.
Related Files	Files that have been manually linked to a record in the spreadsheet. This field is only used in rare instances when it's deemed absolutely necessary to have additional files linked to a record. Tip: Normally, the Linked File field is used to link a file to a record, especially when using the Send to CaseMap feature. Documents that have been linked into CaseMap can be linked to records in other spreadsheets by using the document short name in any description field that displays the chain-link symbol in the field title.	Read-only. Click the Ellipsis button in this field to add or remove related files. Use with Caution: Files added to this field through the Related Files dialog box have to be individually re-linked if the files are moved. Files linked to this field will not be included in search results or reports. Related files will not be linked to other spreadsheets.
Role in Case	A description of the connection between the object and the case (e.g., 'Eyewitness to the accident' or 'First officer on the scene'.	Type up to 10,000 characters of text.
Object Type	An indication as to whether the object is a person, an organization, a document, another type of physical evidence, an event, a place, or some other type of thing.	Select the appropriate object type from the list. CaseMap uses the object's type in conjunction with its full name to generate a default object short name.
Short Name	The object's short name. To ensure consistency in your case information, refer to persons, organizations, documents, and other objects by their short names as you enter in CaseMap's description fields.	CaseMap creates default short names for you based on the object's full name and its object type. You can change this default name at any time, as often as you want. Type a single word of up to 30 characters.
