Reviewing your case from the Case dashboard
Use the Case dashboard as a starting point to locate, and then browse directly to pieces of evidence that are potentially of interest in your case.
The Case dashboard displays summary information about your case, allowing you to gain insight into your evidence. You can customize the Case dashboard by collapsing or expanding individual sections.
The first two columns on the dashboard, Case overview and Evidence overview, provide you with a summary of your case and evidence sources. They include the following sections:
- Case summary notes displays the examiner name and case summary, which you can edit on the dashboard.
- Case processing details displays the case number and search information that you specified in AXIOM Process.
- Case information displays links to the Case Information.txt and AXIOMExamine.log files in your case folder.
- Evidence overview displays basic information about each evidence source in your case. You can edit the evidence number on the dashboard.
Information from these columns appears at the beginning of your PDF and HTML case reports. To learn more about exporting reports, see Exporting and sharing evidence
The Case dashboard is the default explorer for AXIOM Examine. You can change the default explorer to another explorer such as the Artifacts or File system explorer.
Quickly drill down to key evidence in your case
In the Case dashboard, the Places to start column allows you to quickly see the most common types of evidence in your case—including categories, tags, keywords, and more—indicated by the number of matches displayed. You can click the links to filter on the type of evidence that you're interested in.
