Read permitted investigations, cases and decisions without changing evidence.

Review edition · 25 October 2026 · For Viewer

On this page

As Viewer, read saved investigations, local cases and permitted identity decision history. You cannot start a floor investigation, import evidence, approve identity links or change a case with Viewer authority.

Identify the saved question

Open Saved investigations and select the exact run. Check its starting identity, source generation, selected datasets, relationship meaning, direction and local evidence cutoff. Two runs with similar labels can answer different questions.

Read the related set together with coverage reasons and limits. Physical relationships, associations and local reviewed identity bridges have different meanings. A completed procedure is not necessarily a manufactured output, and a booking or label submission is not actual despatch.

Read the case in scope

A case groups saved runs and local review history. Its status records the investigation team's decision only; closed does not mean a recall or containment action happened in a source system. Case assignment does not grant access.

The case's dataset scope can grow as runs are attached and cannot shrink. If you lose rights to any required dataset, the whole case and its history can become unavailable. The same current rights apply to old saved reports and downloads.

Retain the right record

Use the permitted investigation JSON download where needed. Keep its run identity, local cutoff and coverage limitations with it. A later source import does not update the old saved result. Downloaded files already outside the application cannot be recalled by a later reader removal.

Ask the Supervisor to investigate an inconsistency using exact references and source evidence. Do not treat absence from your permitted list as proof that no record exists.
