Cases is our solution for case management. Automation works with established processes to respond to threats or problems, while cases gives builders a place to solve for the new or unknown. A case in Tines is a collaborative user interface where you can comment, take action, and report on progress all in real-time.

Note:
Cases are an add-on for Tines customers. All customers on a paid plan may opt into a one-time 45-day free trial. You can click here to opt-in automatically or talk to a member of our team to learn more.

With cases, you can:

  • Organize your team around a case

  • Collaborate in real time on the steps to triage and remediate

  • Take actions based on the information at hand

  • Automate where you can with other workflows or systems

  • Report on what happened and share the outcomes with leadership

Cases are best used in tandem with records, a way to structure event data from across story runs. Records are often attached to cases as artifacts. You can then visualize data from records and cases in a single view with dashboards. These views help you monitor what's happening across workflows within your team.

To learn more about configuring cases, see our docs.
