New Issues worksheet (GA-config)

The issues worksheet can be used in both the order of proof and evidence management case lifecycles.  

This worksheet provides users with the ability to identify, manage, and track the legal and factual issues in dispute in a case.  Issues can be linked to key information, including documents, notes, chronology, characters, organisations (US only), sources, and tasks.

Note: The Issues worksheet is available for NEW projects only.

Open the worksheet by selecting Issues from the navigation bar.

Issues can be created from either the Issues worksheet itself or while in a document. The following types of information/evidence can be linked to an issue:

  • Characters
  • Chronology events
  • Sources
  • Notes
  • Organisations (US only)
  • Designations (US only)
  • Tasks (Enhanced and Premier tiers only)
Note: There are links from the Issues worksheet to all the other worksheets and vice versa. For example, from the Designations worksheet when you create a designation, you can add the designation to an issue or create a new issue during the creation of that designation.

Issues can be displayed as cards and viewed by Type (factual or legal), Disputed, or Substantiated.
