The evidence framework provides the ability to share evidence between a person/prospect person,
application cases and ongoing cases. The Evidence Broker enables and mediates this sharing of evidence.
Evidence sharing is uni-directional and per evidence type. This means that different targets can receive
and share an evidence type in different ways. If required, one case type might be able to receive shared
evidence, but might not be able to share its own evidence. There are three main functions which will trigger
the evidence broker to broadcast evidence:
- When a new person is added to a target case. For example, where person/prospect person evidence such as
identification evidence has been configured for sharing to an integrated case and a person is added to
an integrated case, the evidence broker will first check to see if that person has any person/prospect
person evidence. If evidence is found, the evidence broker then checks for active identification evidence
and shares it to the integrated case.
- When evidence changes are made to a source case. For example, when changes are made to a person's
identification evidence, the evidence broker will share those changes to the integrated case.
- When a new target case is created. For example, any time a new integrated case is created, the
evidence broker will search for person/prospect person identification evidence to be shared. If this
evidence is found, the evidence broker shares the identification evidence to the integrated case.
