Cases is our solution for case management. A case in Tines is a place where users can work together, comment, and track activity. Whereas a record is a structured way to capture data from a story. Records are often attached to cases as artifacts.
Some ways to apply cases include:
Facilitate, collaborate, and track incident response
Capture and store the actions taken across story runs for external audits
Analyze trends or common data points across stories
Identify what automations to build next
