Creating cases

Each case you want to include in TextMap requires its own case file. A new case can be created quickly so you can add case staff and initial case data within minutes. TextMap's New Case Wizard provides you with a default new case template that accommodates most of your data entry needs. The example case, Hawkins v. Anstar, uses a new case template.

The case file name is the name of the case database file that is saved to your machine or in a network folder. The default location for case storage is the C:\Users\[User ID]\CaseSoft\TextMap folder on your hard drive. For other users to access the file, it must be stored in a network folder.

TextMap cases hosted on CaseMap Server (SQL cases) must be created by a system administrator. For more information on how to create SQL cases, refer to your CaseMap Server documentation.

New cases are not protected by passwords until you or other users create them. Passwords automatically default to blank, so you would simply type a password and verify it, and then click OK to save it. If you forget your password, you need to call CaseMap Technical Support to have them reset it for you. See Changing case passwords and Managing case staff.
