An event can be shared by more than one case. An event is either past or pending. The fields that make up a given event document vary depending upon the type of the event. In each case document is stored a list of summary details of the past and pending events associated with that case. Several different views of the documents in each database are available.
Users can access different views, depending on their needs.
A view can list documents, or display them in a calendar format. Of course, none of these views changes the way in which the data is stored in each database. Ad hoc queries The system allows the use of Notes's full text searching capabilities to generate ad hoc queries. Whilst packages exist which allow powerful statistical analysis of Notes databases, the Registry's needs have to date been met by Notes's simple search interface which allows the user to construct, and save for future use, general search queries. The next phase of the project, pending approval from the Court and subject to the availability of funds, will involve making selected information from the case management system available over the Internet to any person with a web browser.
