Case Management

Keep the evidence and the decisions together.

A working record for the people reviewing it.

Connect relevant communications with an owner, a status and a documented outcome. Case work gives your investigation a place to come together.

Open cases with owners, status, resolution and dates

From a question to an organized investigation

An internal review, a client dispute or an external request can start with a single conversation. The work soon involves other records and other people. A case keeps that context together so the next reviewer can understand what has happened.

Comma connects case work with its communications archive and e-discovery workflows. The expanded discovery workspace adds timeline and identity review for enabled teams. Cases remain the working record for evidence, ownership and resolution.

  1. Bring relevant records together

    Start from a communication that needs review, or add relevant content to an existing case. Link the people and policies involved so reviewers have the context behind the question.
  2. Make ownership clear

    Assign an owner and update the status as the investigation progresses. Open and closed views help the team find its current work.
  3. Record the outcome

    Keep the case description and resolution beside related evidence. Document what the team concluded so another reviewer can follow the work.
  4. Prepare the next handoff

    Export the case report for the investigation's working record. A source-record collection is a separate deliverable; agree on its scope and required formats with the recipient.
Case detail, demonstration content. Keep ownership, review notes and the activity timeline in one view.

Find the work that needs your attention

Filter cases by owner, status or resolution, then open a matter to review its context. This workflow supports teams handling several investigations alongside everyday communications review.

Start with the matter, not a regulator’s form

The investigation workflow is useful across industries. Define the people, records, permissions and requested outcome before deciding how the results should be delivered. Financial reporting, healthcare administrative reviews and public-sector records requests have different obligations, even when they begin with the same need to understand a conversation.

For a matter that requires preservation or a specific production format, confirm the workflow before relying on a case report. A report summarizes the case; it is not interchangeable with a collection of source records.

Case work and e-discovery

How does a flagged communication become a case?
A reviewer can open a case from a flagged communication or link relevant content to an existing case, then organize the related people, policies and outcome.
Is case management the same as the expanded e-discovery workspace?
No. Cases organize investigation work. The expanded e-discovery workspace adds cross-channel timeline and identity review for enabled teams. We'll show how they fit together in a walkthrough.
Is this only for financial services examinations?
No. Cases can organize internal investigations and communications reviews across industries. Your legal or records team determines the obligations and delivery requirements for each matter.
What should we bring to an investigation walkthrough?
Bring the people and period in scope, the connected sources, any preservation requirements and the recipient's requested output. We'll distinguish the case report from the source-record collection you may need.

Follow the conversation into the investigation.
