Chain of Custody and Redaction Reporting in CaseGuard Studio
Each file you work on in CaseGuard Studio—whether audio, video, documents, images, or PDFs—automatically generates chain of custody documents. Here’s how to manage and utilize these features effectively.
Project Setup and Redaction Reasons
- Project Information: When creating a project, input the name of the requestor, case number, and date of request. This information will appear in reports.
- Redaction Reasons:
- In AI automatic detection, use the “reasons” dropdown menu to select why something is redacted.
- Add custom reasons by clicking “add new reason,” which opens a window to input details like legal or statutory basis for withholding material. Save your reason after entry.
- In manual detection, find the reasons dropdown menu in the panel at the bottom of your workspace to select or change redaction reasons.
Editing Redaction Reasons
If you need to change a redaction reason for any object, click “edit” in the object detection panel and select a new reason.
