Overview

Evidence may undergo changes within its lifecycle from evidence ingestion to disposition and everything in between) most of these activities require attention from the designated officers, who then can take action. To notify the concerned authorities a notification system is required to send an automatic email notification whenever a specific activity takes place on a case/evidence. To cater to this requirement, VIDIZMO Digital Evidence Management System (DEMS) offers an Alert Generation feature


Using VIDIZMO Group Permissions authorized portal users may assign Evidence/Case permission for evidence flagging to a group of Viewer and/or Contributor portal users. This permission would allow them to flag evidence/case empowering them to receive alerts against the subscribable events
